Duct Zipper Machine
Lock TDF duct seams fast — in-plant or on-site, vertical or horizontal.
Pneumatic TDF seam closing equipment for HVAC fabricators and mechanical contractors. Dual vertical/horizontal configurations handle rectangular ductwork from 150×150mm to 1550mm lengths with production speeds reaching 24 m/min.

Key Features
Choose between the vertical model for taller duct sections (up to 1550 mm length, 1.2 mm thickness) and the horizontal model for wider format work (down to 150×150 mm ducts, up to 1.5 mm thickness). Both are engineered for TDF-only seam locking, eliminating unnecessary complexity and keeping operation straightforward.
The vertical duct zipper delivers a forming speed of 24 m/min, enabling operators to close seams on high volumes of rectangular ductwork without bottlenecking downstream assembly. This throughput makes it practical for both dedicated fabrication shops and prefabrication lines.
Pneumatic actuation keeps noise levels low enough for on-site installation work in occupied buildings — a real advantage for retrofit HVAC projects where work happens alongside building tenants or other trades.
The vertical model’s painted steel frame, hydraulic power unit with pressure gauge, and chain-driven tooling carriage are built for shift-after-shift reliability. At 1.7 tons, the vertical unit offers the rigidity needed for consistent seam quality on galvanized and low carbon steel without frame flex or vibration drift.
A digital control panel with HMI gives operators clear feedback and precise control over the seam-forming cycle. Minimal setup time between duct sizes reduces changeover delays and lowers the skill threshold for new operators.
