HUBLUXE ENGINEERING distinguishes itself by offering engineered and heavy-duty Guillotine Damper. This makes their guillotine dampers not just reliable but also adaptable to the most demanding industrial environments. Pressure drop is low across the damper when it if fully open.
In Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems and Gas Turbine exhausts, partial isolation is not an option. When maintenance crews need to enter a duct, they require absolute certainty that toxic gases cannot bypass the valve. Hubluxe Engineering’s Guillotine Dampers provide 100% positive isolation.
Our damper features a proven rack & pinion design, a robust design that outperforms outdated chain-driven systems. It delivers unmatched reliability while remaining cost-competitive.

Standard construction features of HUBLUXE make Guilltoine Damper:
MAIN FEATURE:
Guillotine dampers are primarily used in a robust, gas-tight shut-off ducts. Their compact design fits in tight spaces, maintains efficient airflow when fully open, and withstands pressure drops. Available in various configuration options in manual, Pneumatic, Electrical actuated.
BLADE DESIGN:
To minimise the deflection & stress, the damper blade is reinforced. Their weatherproof design prevents gas from leaking into atmosphere. We design blades in various types such as simple blades, structural blades, thermally compensating blades and profiled blades. Our design provides maximum resistance to heat stress, corrosion, metal fatigue and distortion. Application with high pressure or high temperature, an inspection port and view port for high dust loading as well as insulated blades where heat retention or protections from thermal distortion are recommended.
SEALING SYSTEMS:
The dampers are equipped with excellent sealing mechanism where blades are designed with metal to metal or elastic seating systems. Guillotine dampers can be manufactured with simple tadpole seal which can achieve 99% sealing efficiency on cross section. 100% sealing efficiency designs are also possible with fully enclosed bonnets and pressurised seals.
DRIVE SYSTEMS:
Our guillotine damper is a proven and comes with robust rack & pinion design, as compared to older designs such as chains. It is far superior in terms of reliability at the same time its cost effective too. We have wide range of drive options from simple mounted to pneumatic actuation to heavy-duty electrical actuator with safety factors.
