Sand Trap Louvers
13.4a
Construction:
Frame: 2mm thick extruded aluminium formed sheets.
Blades: 6063 high grade aluminium blade 2mm thick.
Sand Chute: 1.5mm thick aluminium sheet.
Description:
Designed to filter sand particles at high intake velocities, as
high as 4m/sec with high efficiency which is more than 90%
and lesser pressure drop.
It has the advantage of more free area so that sizes of usual
sand trap louvers can be reduced to 25% of the normal sizes.
Composed of a row of blades mountred vertically inside the
frame.
Designed to seperate sand and dust from the air stream.
The filtered sand will be drained through a sand chute fixed at
the bottom of the louver.
Generally used for ventilation applications and at inlet duct of
air handling unit.
Standard finishes:
Natural anodized aluminium finish.
Powder coated color finish as per RAL color codes.
Flexibility of finish available as option.

C - 40mm blade spacing / 200-700 micron sand
D - 40mm blade spacing / 20-200 micron sand
Construction:
Frame and blades: 1.5 mm and 1.2 mm thick
high quality extruded aluminium profiles.
Bird screen: 12 mm x 12 mm x 1.5 mm dia alu-
minium wire mesh as standard.
12 mm x 12 mm x 1 mm dia G.I wire mesh as
optional.
Sand chute: Aluminium sheet tray of 1.2 mm
thick.
Description:
The frame and blades are of high quality extrud-
ed aluminium profiled construction with the
advantages of corrosion resistance and rigidity.
Composed two sets of inverted U channels
mounted vertically on two opposite rows.
Surface of the louver is fixed flush on the plane of
the wall. The filtered sand will be drained through
a sand chute.
Sand chute is an inclined tray fixed at the bottom
of the louver for sand drain.
Designed to separate sand and dust from the air
stream.
Generally used for ventilation applications and at
inlet duct of air handling unit.

Performance data:
1. Sand rejection efficiency:
Tests conducted on sim ilar equipm ent as
M odel A STL indicate a typical efficiency of
90 percent on 200 to 700 microns
80 percent on 20 to 200 microns
50 percent on 1 to 70 microns
Better efficiency can be achieved by sand trap lou-
vers with washable aluminium filters.
