Industrial Silencer, Heat Recovery and Catalytic Specialists

 

Accessories

Accessories available as modifications to stock silencers include flexible connectors, companion flanges, mounting brackets, cleanouts and spark boxes. In addition we offer insulation, safety covers, diverter tees, wall thimbles, rain caps and elbows.

Flexible Connectors

Flexible connectors help protect the silencer and engine from forces at the inlet connection due to high temperatures and fluctuations in exhaust flow rates. We can provide connections from CAT engines to standard plate flanges and also connect from one size to another.

Clean Outs

Spark Boxes

A clean out is an external plate that is bolted onto the shell of the silencer (one for each chamber) that can be removed in order to clean the internals of any debris or particles that may have been built up inside the silencer.

Spark Boxes are connected to the outside drain connection of the carbon collectors of our spark-arresting silencers. They can be easily removed and emptied when they are full.

Companion Flanges

Companion flanges are welded on to exhaust piping and bolted to Maxim silencers. In addition to the companion flange we also provide nuts, bolts and gaskets to help insure a successful installation.

Companion flanges are available as either weld-on or screw-on type.  All gaskets, bolts and nuts are furnished.  Flange drilling to 125# ASA standard.  Weld type flange slips on standard pipe for welding.  Screw-on type is threaded to fit standard NPT.

Screw-on flanges available in 4" through 12" only.  Weld-on type available in all sizes.

Wall Thimbles

Wall thimbles are used on exhaust systems where you wish to divert some of the exhaust heat through a wall. In order to facilitate the quotation process we will need to know the thickness of the wall.

Building Wall

Finishes

Exterior surfaces protected by a high temperature corrosion resistant black coating.

Optional finishes are available.

Popular special paint options are inorganic zinc paint applied over sandblasted surface, high temperature aluminum and even metalized coatings.  Other customer requirements may be supplied upon request.

Rain Caps

Rain caps prevent water from getting inside the engine through the exhaust piping. They are available in carbon and stainless steel.

Diverter Tees

Diverter tees can be used to divert exhaust flow as needed. Also available in carbon or stainless steel. Note: The actuator is provided but not the controller.

Elbows

We can supply long-radius, short-radius, 45 degree and 90 degree elbows. Elbows are available in carbon and stainless steel.

Insulation

We can provide blanket insulation or calcium silicate encased with a water tight aluminum jacked.
The blanket insulation is 1” thick and the calcium silicate is 2” thick. Custom thickness are available upon request.
