    Flexible Ducting

    RS Singapore offers a comprehensive collection of flexible ducting solutions, essential for managing air, fumes, dust, and abrasive materials in various industrial and commercial environments. Often referred to as flexible air ducts, duct hose, or simply duct pipes, these versatile conduits are designed to funnel substances safely from one location to another. Our range includes reinforced hose options, flexible insulated air ducts, and specialised PVC flexible ducts, ensuring optimal performance across a multitude of applications.

    Types of Flexible Ducting

    Polyurethane (PUR) Reinforced Flexible Ducting

    Highly regarded for its exceptional abrasion resistance and durability, Polyurethane (PUR) reinforced flexible ducting is an ideal choice for transferring abrasive materials like sawdust, granules, or chips. Its robust construction ensures a longer lifespan, even in demanding industrial environments where significant wear and tear are expected.

    PVC Reinforced Flexible Ducting

    A popular and cost-effective option known for its good chemical resistance and flexibility, PVC reinforced flexible ducting is often used in applications where light to medium-duty material transfer is required, such as ventilation systems, dust extraction, and air conditioning. Its smooth interior surface helps to reduce friction and improve airflow efficiency.

    Glass Fibre Reinforced Neoprene Flexible Ducting

    Glass fibre reinforced neoprene flexible ducting offers excellent temperature resistance and good chemical resistance. The neoprene coating provides a durable and flexible barrier, while the glass fibre reinforcement ensures structural integrity at higher temperatures, making it commonly found in exhaust systems and connected to industrial axial fans where elevated temperatures are present.

    Key Considerations When Choosing Flexible Ducting

    Shopping for the right flexible duct in Singapore? Make sure you assess the product with these key considerations:

    • Diameter & Length: Ensure the ducting is compatible with your system and required airflow rates.
    • Temperature & Pressure Ratings: Match your flexible ducting to your application’s maximum temperature and pressure.
    • Chemical Compatibility: Select ducting made out of materials resistant to the chemicals or fumes being conveyed.
    • Flexibility & Bend Radius: Consider the shape and flexibility of your flexible ducting, and whether it meets your routing and installation constraints.
    • Compliance & Certification: Look for food-grade (FDA), flame-retardant, or anti-static properties as required.

    How Reinforced Flexible Air Ducts are Used in Industrial Settings

    Chemical Industry

    In the chemical industry, specialised flexible ducting is critical for safely transporting corrosive fumes, aggressive gases, and hazardous chemicals. These ducts are often made from chemically resistant materials to prevent degradation and leakage, ensuring worker safety and compliance with strict environmental regulations. They are also essential for ventilation systems in laboratories and chemical processing areas.

    Agriculture

    The agricultural sector extensively uses flexible ducting for tasks such as grain transfer, dust extraction from milling operations, and ventilation in livestock facilities. These ducts help maintain air quality, prevent the spread of airborne particles, and ensure efficient handling of bulk materials like feed and harvested crops, contributing to healthier environments and improved productivity.

    Automotive Industry

    Within the automotive industry, flexible ducting is crucial for exhaust fume extraction in workshops, dust collection from sanding and polishing processes, and spot cooling in assembly lines. These ducts are designed to handle high temperatures and abrasive particles, ensuring a clean and safe working environment for technicians and preventing contamination of production areas.

    Food & Beverage Industry

    Hygienic and durable flexible ducting are essential for conveying food-grade powders, granules, and other ingredients, as well as for ventilation in processing areas. These ducts must comply with stringent food safety standards, preventing contamination and ensuring product purity. They are also used for steam and moisture removal in high-humidity environments.

    Air Conditioning & HVAC

    Flexible AC ducts are fundamental components in large-scale industrial and commercial air conditioning systems. They are used to distribute conditioned air efficiently throughout large spaces, including factories, offices, and warehouses. Their flexibility allows for easy routing around obstacles and quick installation, providing optimal thermal comfort and air quality.

    Construction Industry

    Flexible ducting serves various purposes in the construction industry. From dust and debris extraction during demolition and renovation, to fume removal from welding and painting operations, and temporary ventilation for confined spaces, these robust ducts help maintain a healthier and safer worksite by containing hazardous airborne particles and ensuring adequate air circulation. For ensuring the long-term integrity of electrical wiring routed alongside these ducts on construction sites, the use of heat shrink tubing for secure insulation is often recommended.
