This design eliminates the risk of loose components entering the process stream—an important safety and operational advantage in heavy industrial environments.

Standard Delivery Includes:

  • Stuffing boxes on both sides in stainless material

  • Double ball bearings for stable and low-friction operation

  • Customizable materials for housing, blade, and flanges

  • Multiple blade sealing options depending on process requirements

Available sealing materials include steel/steel, PTFE, fiberglass, silicone, and other high-performance alternatives.


Materials for Extreme Temperatures and Harsh Environments

The S200 Butterfly Damper can be manufactured in nearly all commonly used industrial alloys.

Material options include:

  • Carbon steel (e.g., EN 1.0038)

  • Stainless steel (EN 1.4301)

  • Acid-resistant stainless steel (EN 1.4404)

  • Heat-resistant alloys such as 253MA, 254SMO, Alloy 800HT

  • Additional special alloys upon request

Maximum operating temperatures can reach up to 1100°C, depending on selected material.

Sealing solutions are available for aggressive chemical environments and extreme heat, including ceramic fiber/Inconel combinations rated up to +1250°C.

This makes the S200 ideal for:

  • High-temperature processes

  • Flue gas cleaning systems

  • Aggressive chemical environments

  • Steel and metal industry process air

  • High humidity or steam environments

  • Oxidizing gases and abrasive particle exposure


Customization for Industry-Specific Requirements

One of the main strengths of the Butterfly Damper S200 is its adaptability.

Available special configurations include:

  • M (Marine) – for ships, offshore, and marine environments

  • D / DT (Double / Double Tandem) – purge air systems for enhanced tightness

  • HT (High Temperature) – for processes exceeding 1000°C

  • R (Refractory Lined) – internal refractory lining for extreme heat and wear

  • T (T-duct configuration) – two dampers integrated into a T-duct solution

Flanges can be manufactured according to customer specifications or recognized industrial standards.

Size range: DN100–DN3000, making the S200 suitable for both small process lines and very large industrial duct systems.


Typical Functions in Industrial Systems

The Butterfly Damper S200 is frequently used for:

  • Flue gas flow regulation

  • Shut-off and isolation of process ducts

  • Bypass solutions

  • Pressure and temperature control

  • Air distribution in furnaces

  • Emergency shut-off functions


Operational Reliability and Service Efficiency

The reinforced design minimizes wear, vibration, and leakage over time. The absence of loose components in the duct reduces downtime and operational risks.

With correct material and sealing selection, the damper is suitable for extended service intervals even in environments exposed to:

  • Abrasive particles

  • High dust concentrations

  • Moisture, condensation, or steam

  • Chemical corrosion

  • Rapid temperature fluctuations

This makes the S200 one of the most reliable butterfly dampers for heavy industry and continuous operation.


Summary

The Butterfly Damper S200 is a high-quality industrial damper that combines heavy-duty construction, flexible design, and advanced material selection for extreme environments.

Developed and manufactured according to customer-specific requirements, it performs equally well in traditional heavy industry and in modern energy-efficient, environmentally sensitive processes.

With its robustness, long service life, and adaptability, the S200 is an optimal choice for companies requiring maximum operational reliability, high temperature resistance, and precise flow control.

S200 vs. S400 – Which Damper Should You Choose?

When selecting a damper for industrial flue gas and process systems, both the Butterfly Damper S200 and the Disc Damper S400 are robust solutions — but they are developed for different functions and operating conditions.

Below are the key differences:


1. Function & Application Area

S200 – Flow Regulation & Continuous Control

  • Suitable for both low and very high temperatures (up to approx. 1100°C depending on material)

  • Designed for continuous process operation

  • Typically operates in partially open positions

In short: Choose S200 when you need precise flow control.


S400 – Full Shut-Off & Tight Sealing (On/Off Damper)

Used to completely open or shut off flow, for example in bypass systems, chimneys, filters, or air handling units.

  • Delivers 100% geometric tight shut-off thanks to its double-offset shaft and three-point linkage

  • Process pressure assists in maintaining tight closure

  • Excellent for applications with strict environmental and emission control requirements

In short: Choose S400 when you need complete isolation and maximum tightness.
