Quickdraft
Quickdraft Systems Eliminate Your Worst Processing Issues!
Since 1953, Quickdraft has used Venturi power to produce pneumatic conveying/exhaust systems and solutions for the meat and poultry industries. Quickdraft exhausters are used on ovens, fryers, freezing tunnels and other types of processing equipment in place of in-line fans, providing powerful but maintenance-friendly exhaust solutions.
Quickdraft exhausters keep the blower and all moving parts out of the air stream and are particularly effective where high temperature and humidity will corrode a fan. They are used in cryogenic applications to keep the exhaust free from excessive ice build-up. Quickdraft demisters reduce grease discharge and help keep your emissions clean.
We also engineer pneumatic conveying systems for MDM bone residue and various edible and inedible products.
