IWS Series Exhaust Shutters
Industrial-Strength Exhaust Control for Reliable Ventilation
Triangle Engineering’s IWS Series exhaust shutters deliver industrial-grade backdraft protection for wall- or fan-mounted ventilation systems. Built in the USA with a welded galvanized steel frame, extruded aluminum blades, and bronze pivot bushings, these heavy-duty shutters provide smooth, low-maintenance operation in even the harshest environments. A bronze-finish polyester powder coated frame adds corrosion resistance, ensuring long service life in factories, warehouses, barns, and other demanding applications.
Available in single- and double-panel models from 27 3/8″ to 68 1/4″ square, the IWS Series is engineered to keep exhaust air flowing freely while minimizing reverse drafts when fans are off. Each shutter includes tie bar linkage for uniform blade movement, reducing partial openings and improving efficiency. Optional manual or electric operators make them easy to integrate into nearly any industrial ventilation setup.
Backed by more than 70 years of American manufacturing expertise, Triangle Engineering’s IWS Series shutters are built to perform reliably for decades.
- Durability & Corrosion Resistance: A welded galvanized steel frame with a bronze finish polyester powder coating stands up to harsh conditions, making these exhaust shutters ideal for industrial and commercial settings.
- Smooth, Low-Maintenance Operation: Bronze pivot bushings keep the shutter blades moving freely without routine lubrication or frequent adjustments.
- Optimized Airflow Management: The extruded aluminum blades are specially designed to allow efficient exhaust flow while minimizing reverse drafts when fans are off.
- Flexible Configuration: Choose from single or double panel models, and enjoy simple wall or fan mounting options to fit virtually any ventilation setup.
- Proven Performance: Over 70 years of engineering expertise backs these shutters, giving you peace of mind with every installation.
- Uniform Blade Operation: Every shutter comes with a tie bar linkage to ensure consistent, simultaneous blade movement, preventing partial openings.
- Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities: Manage heat, fumes, and airborne particles effectively in production plants and workshops.
- Agricultural Buildings: Ideal for barns, livestock housing, and greenhouses, where controlling airflow and humidity is crucial.
- Warehouses & Storage Facilities: Maintain stable temperatures and help prevent outside elements from entering during non-operational hours.
- Workshops & Garages: Evacuate exhaust or welding fumes while reducing backdrafts, dust, and debris entry.
(Note: Not recommended for grease-laden air from commercial kitchen applications.)
