Geometric Steels Sand Trap Louvers
Effective Dust Protection Solutions
These vertical louvers are arranged to provide sight-proof screening, preventing visibility across them. Designed with high water resistance, these louvers effectively block water penetration. They serve as an integral part of air handling units and find applications in locations prone to dust issues, such as swimming pools, restaurant lounge fences, and open kitchens. Typically installed as the first unit at the initial point of air intake, they trap larger dust and sand particles, preventing them from passing through.
Geometric Steels sand trap louvers live up to their name, effectively preventing sand from entering air intake units, equipment rooms, and factories. This helps avoid damage to moving parts and prevents filters or equipment from clogging, especially in areas with extreme industrial pollution levels. Geometric Steels’ Sand Trap Louvers play a crucial role in reducing and protecting against incoming particles into buildings. Positioned at the fresh air inlet duct of the air handling unit, these louvers can lower dust loading on conventional filtration systems by separating large-sized particles at low to medium speeds. These self-emptying systems can be delivered to customers in optional sizes and colors, with a maximum height of 4500mm and length of 4500mm.
Applications
Geometric Steels Sand Trap Lovers are also used for all Types of Ventilation Purposes in parking areas, warehouses, generator rooms, fan rooms, swimming pools, restaurant lounge fences, open kitchens, etc. in the desert or sandy regions. Sand trap louvers designed by Geometric Steels with a set of U channels arranged in series on one side and another set of inverted U channels arranged parallel to the first set with the Self Emptying System. It has a Bottom Face open of the Casing to Discharge Separated Sand Particles. This arrangement creates a resistance or barrier for the sand particles in the intake air and thus settles down. The sand drained through the drain opening and the unique design of the Geometric steel. Sand Trap Louver makes it self-cleaning and maintenance-free. Vision-proof blades and low leakage frame construction make it the most suitable for various applications.

Water penetration for louvers refers to their resistance to water ingress in rainy conditions. Louvers, common in ventilation or shading systems, balance airflow with rain protection. Effective water penetration resistance in geometric steel louvers is seen in lower penetration rates, preventing building water infiltration. Design elements like blade orientation, spacing, and drainage features impact louver system water penetration performance.
Optional (additional cost)
- A variant of bird or insect mesh
- Mounting Clips and flanged frame
- Heavier thickness blade or frame construction
