Shaft and disc assembly hydro testing

A Cost-Effective Approach to High-Temperature Service

Handling severe heat in industrial processes usually points engineers toward exotic alloys. They work, but they drive costs up fast. We take a different approach. By combining refractory lining with a water-cooled shaft and disc, you get a reliable solution built for high-temperature service — without the heavy price tag of full exotic construction. Why This Design Works Refractory lining shields the body from direct heat. Water-cooled shaft and disc stabilize critical areas that would otherwise fail. Together, these features create a cost-effective alternative...

Custom Damper Crating & Export Compliance

Moving dampers from the shop to the job site isn’t simple. They’re heavy, awkward, and often built to unique specs. The majority of the time, standard crates don’t cut it. That’s why we've invested in custom damper crating designed around the equipment — strong enough to handle the weight, reinforced to protect critical components, and designed to hold up through transport. ISPM 15 Export Compliance When equipment ships internationally, packaging must meet ISPM 15 standards — the global requirement...

Various Dampers

Customized Dampers Built to Fit Any Application

Every customized industrial damper is built with the project in mind. Sometimes that means engineering a completely custom design for unique service conditions. Other times, it means replicating an existing unit to match form, fit, and function exactly—so installation is seamless and performance is consistent. From compact 4” dampers to massive 144” assemblies and beyond, we deliver solutions that fit the application, whether it calls for something one-of-a-kind or a proven design that needs to be duplicated. Wide Range of Configurations Sizes...

Damper Actuation testing & DVC Programming

Actuation Testing and Programming: Ensuring Reliable Damper Performance

When a damper arrives on-site, there’s no room for uncertainty. It needs to perform on command, respond correctly to signals, and—if power is lost—move to its fail position without hesitation. That’s why every unit leaving Elite Industrial Controls undergoes rigorous damper actuation testing and programming. This blog covers the full process: from basic functionality checks to advanced DVC programming for modulating actuation. Damper Actuation Testing: Reliability Before Installation Before leaving our shop, each damper is put through final actuation testing to verify: The...

Engineered for Performance: Custom Ø30” Industrial Butterfly Valve Built for Steel Mill Demands

When it comes to industrial butterfly valves, the application tells the story. This Ø30” unit from our 2300 Series wasn’t built to sit on a shelf — it was designed to solve a real problem inside a working steel mill. From airflow velocity and flange compatibility to actuator selection and long-term durability, every detail was engineered with purpose. A Custom Solution, Not a Catalog Item This valve is a perfect example of what we mean by real-world engineering. Here’s what went into...

Why Replace When You Can Refurbish?

We recently refurbished two Shan-Rod Ø48” 2400 Series Heavy Duty Ductwork Drill Dampers. These dampers have been in line since 1993, enduring over three decades of continuous service. You can see the wear, weather, and time taking their toll 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲. However, after a thorough inspection, we determined that refurbishment was the smarter solution over full replacement—offering faster turnaround times, cost savings, and a more sustainable approach to damper maintenance. Through our Inspect & Advise Program,...
