Suspension systems for textile ducts
Cable suspension
This system is only used for circular diffusers. Cable suspension is the system most frequently used. It is the most economical solution in terms of supply and fitting times per metre. It can be adapted to the widest possible range of constraints (wall or ceiling fitting, changes in level, etc.). The position of anchoring points must be included in the study. Tractive forces may be up to 250 kg.
Rail suspension
The Twist’n Fix rail can be used for circular or semi-circular diffusers This support system developed by Aéro Textile Concept offers significant savings in fitting times Only one rail is needed for textile ducts up to 1,000 mm in diameter. Thanks to its novel technical characteristics (ultra-rapid connectors), the Twist’N Fix system reduces the number of handling operations to be carried out at high levels by privileging pre-fitting on the floor. It is particularly recommended for refurbishment projects. Special efforts have been made to facilitate product handling. The aluminium rails come in the form of 3-metre-long strips.
Profile suspension
This system is mainly used for semi-circular and quarter-circular section diffusers. Using rods that act like links, the profile suspension system ensures a continuous and precise guidance and provides the strength needed to maintain the shape of the duct. The use of PVC or aluminium profiles requires smooth, flat surfaces for fitting. Rollers or slides can also be used, but the diffuser/profile link is less accurate.
