Custom-Made Industrial Dampers and Flue Gas Fittings

Your Partner for High-Performance Flue Gas Fittings & Custom Designs

Why Industrial Customers Choose HMT

Efficient flue gas management is the key to reducing emissions and ensuring process reliability in modern industry. As part of the SPALECK Group, HMT Industries develops high-quality industrial dampers and flue gas fittings at its Rhede facility that are precisely tailored to your specific structural conditions. Take advantage of HMT’s more than 50 years of experience in complex steel construction and its close ties to SPALECK, which has over 150 years of experience in mechanical engineering and metalworking.

Custom Manufacturing

We do not supply standard catalog items. Each fixture is designed and built exactly according to your specifications.

Extreme Conditions

Our solutions are designed for temperatures up to 1,200 °C, high dust loads, and corrosive media.

Certified Quality

HMT is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 and meets the highest welding standards in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3834-2.

Precise Flow Control for Energy, Environmental, and Industrial Facilities

What are flue gas fittings?

Industrial valves and fittings are at the heart of modern industrial plants when it comes to the precise management of media flows. Their main task is to precisely control, regulate, or safely separate gas, air, and flue gas flows. This makes them an indispensable component for stable and safe processes in nearly all sectors of heavy industry and the energy sector. Industrial dampers must withstand extreme conditions, particularly in energy-intensive applications or thermal processes. Whether in flue gas ducts, complex exhaust air systems, or process engineering plants—controlled flow management is only possible with robust and precise damper systems.

Product Overview from HMT Industries

The Main Types of Our Industrial Valves

In the world of flue gas fittings, geometry and leak tightness determine the efficiency of the entire system. We offer you the full range of shut-off and control valves.

Shut-off & Damper Valves

Our shut-off and damper valves are specifically designed for demanding control and shut-off applications. HMT's robust construction ensures long-lasting performance even under the most adverse operating conditions. By carefully selecting materials and blade shapes, we optimize each damper to precisely match the flow conditions in your system.

Certified Dampers for Marine Applications

In the shipping industry, our SBD and TBD valves set the standard. Thanks to their expanded DNV GL certification and integrated self-cleaning features, they are the preferred choice for scrubber systems worldwide. With over 500 installations on ships of all sizes, we offer proven safety for maritime operations.

Industrial Gate Valves

Our gate valves are used wherever a fully open pipe cross-section without pressure loss is required. We manufacture these systems in various geometries and in extremely large sizes. Depending on the requirements, precise control is achieved using spindle, cable, or rack-and-pinion drives.

Gas diverters and 3-way valves

Our gas diverters are the ideal solution for efficiently diverting hot media in gas turbine and combined-cycle power plants. These specialized fittings are designed for high-temperature applications and, thanks to intelligent engineering, account for the thermal expansion of the materials to ensure optimal performance even under extreme temperature fluctuations.

Chimney & Rain Flaps

Our fireplace dampers reliably protect your system from heat loss when it is not in use and prevent moisture from entering. Rainwater is reliably drained away thanks to the sloped design of the panels and integrated collection channels. Optionally, these dampers can be designed as self-opening pressure relief systems.

Precision Swivel Dampers

HMT's swing dampers offer exceptional airtightness with minimal maintenance requirements. Because the seal length is shorter than in other designs and the closing force is optimally applied around the circumference, this system offers excellent performance for demanding shut-off processes.

Everything You Need to Know

FAQs

Here are some questions about HMT flue gas fittings. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

We offer maximum flexibility in the choice of drive technology. Depending on the requirements and existing infrastructure, we equip our flaps with electric, pneumatic or electro-hydraulic drives from well-known manufacturers. The entire unit, including limit switch and emergency actuation, is test-driven at our factory in Rhede before delivery.

Absolutely. As we do not sell standard products, but design each valve individually, we can adapt our valves precisely to existing flange dimensions and spatial bottlenecks. One example of this is our elliptical designs for inclined pipelines, which have been specially developed for difficult installation situations.

Yes, our SBD and TBD flap systems for shipping have the required DNV GL certificates. They also meet the strict requirements for self-cleaning, which makes them ideal for use in scrubber systems (flue gas desulphurization on ships).

For applications that require maximum safety (e.g. “man-safe” requirements in accordance with UVV), we use double seals with sealing air admission. This overpressure in the sealing air chamber physically prevents flue gases from passing through, which guarantees absolute separation of the media flows.

Our fittings are specially designed for thermally demanding processes. Depending on the choice of material and design (e.g. for gas diverters), we manufacture solutions for operating temperatures of up to 1,200 °C. We always take the specific thermal expansion of the materials into account during engineering.
