Sand Trap Louvers
Sand Trap Louvers

BETEC manufactures Sand Trap Louvers for

fresh air intake in HVAC systems, which are designed to
separate large size sand particles at low air velocities thus
avoiding excessive dust loading on conventional secondary
stage filters. They give excellent performance for air
filtration and moderate pressure drops at low air velocities.

Material Construction Details For STL B 10 / 20 Series

All models of Sand Trap Louvers are available in Aluminum*, G.I.- galvanized sheet steel coating to Z-
22 to Z-27 to the standards JIS 3302 or BS 2989, stainless steel to 304 2B, 316L in finish construction,
according to the design conditions.
The respective suffix will indicate the type of material construction. A* - Aluminum, G - Galvanized steel
sheet S - Stainless steel (Standard construction is A - Aluminum)
BETEC Sand Trap louver's construction confirms to ADC 1602 standard and DW 142 class C.
Sand louvers offer effective barrier to weather and moderate pressure drop are maintained even
in variable weather conditions.
BETEC Sand louvers are strong and rigid in construction and are suitable for both industrial and
commercial applications.
Sand trap louvers are designed to separate sand and dust particles from intake air for ventillation applications.
Sand trap louver is provided with a self-emptying base through which the filtered sand is drained out easily.
A Bird* screen model S10 is fixed on the rare side of the STL in standard construction. Fly screen S3 is
optional.
BETEC provides easily removable aluminum filter assembly of thickness 12* / 25 / 50mm for additional fine
filtration.(Optional)
Sand louver construction reduces the risk of flooding or water pouring down the face of the louver assembly.
Once installed the individual blades cannot be removed thereby giving excellent security properties to the louver
assembly.
