Improving Worker Comfort on a Heat-Intensive Production Floor

A directed-airflow selection for a hot production floor.
Published on
September 21, 2026

On a production floor, directed airflow and high-level relief are often specified instead of full air conditioning. The selections below cover where the air is delivered, how heat at high level is released, and what the duct has to withstand.

To work this up, send the floor layout and workstation positions, the design airflow, the high-level opening sizes available, and the duty the duct runs will see.

Three constraints, and the products that answer them

Precision engineering transforms complex environmental challenges into strategic opportunities for performance and efficiency.

Directing air to workstation positions

Workstations sit at fixed positions that change when a line is reconfigured, so the discharge direction needs to be adjustable after installation.

Square Multi-Directional Grilles (Adjustable)

Adjustable outlets set the discharge direction at commissioning and can be reset when the line moves. Sourcing enquiry: this family is not listed in the current Staark catalogue. Send face sizes, neck sizes and quantities.

Releasing heat at high level

Heat collects at high level and needs a weather-resistant opening to leave through, coordinated with the plant's existing extract arrangement.

Outside Air Louvres

Outside air louvres provide a weather-resistant opening at high level. Sizes are confirmed per project against the free area and airflow the design requires.

Duct duty on a working floor

An exposed industrial run sees handling and traffic that a concealed domestic run does not, so duct duty and support spacing are part of the specification.

Firebreak Tuff R1.0 Flexible Duct

Firebreak Tuff is the heavier-duty flexible duct family in the catalogue, listed from 150 to 600 mm nominal diameters in 3 m and 6 m lengths. Confirm the duty, the support spacing and the installed clearance for an exposed installation.
