Custom Fume Hood & Duct System | AST Mechanical
Custom Fume Hood Fabrication Installation

AST Mechanical supplies & installs Industrial Duct Systems, Nordfab clamp-together ducting & fabricates custom system components, hoods & process booths.

Industrial Ducting Systems

Industrial duct systems are used to supply make-up air into a facility or convey contaminated air to a filtration system before being exhausted into the atmosphere. These duct systems are under positive or negative pressure to convey the airstream through the duct system and need to be sealed properly to the surroundings.

Industrial Sheet Metal Ductwork

Industrial Ductwork Fabrication

AST Mechanical manufactures custom industrial sheet metal ductwork in our facility in Burlington, Ontario. We design and manufacture complete ducting systems, custom intake points like hoods, process booths, or machine-mounted dust, mist or fume collection points. We can also create customized air ducts for dust collection for any facility. 

Industrial Ductwork Installation

AST Mechanical has a full team to install any products we design and manufacture, integrating third-party components like explosion mitigation devices, for our clients. 

Properly Designed & Installed Duct Systems

The purpose of properly designing and installing industrial duct systems is:

  1. for workplace safety — to avoid contaminating the ambient air and prevent fire or explosion due to combustible dust.
  2. to ensure all contaminates within the airstream are successfully conveyed to the filtration, material-recovery or collection systems
  3. to maximize efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Complete Industrial Ventilation Systems

We design, supply, install and troubleshoot complete industrial ventilation systems. Our capabilities allow us to streamline any project and provide the highest level of efficiency to our clients. Equipment manufacturers offer support through AST Canada and engineering support is handled by our sister company, AST Engineering. AST Mechanical can assist in detailed design specifications to meet all regulations and help obtain necessary permits.

Project Highlight

Installation of additional dust collector, mid-facility for at-source extraction | AST Mechanical

Our customer required a central dust collection system to remove the welding fume from the welding cells (at the source) and reduce the concentration without interfering with the operation. We used a centrally located fume collection unit with custom duct and intake points to accommodate their needs.
