Q. Why do HVAC Contractors buy TDC/TDF flanging machines?
A. Really, the answer is quite simple, these machines roll the 35mm standard flange onto existing duct in about 6 seconds per length.
The alternative method is to buy expensive knock on flange, approximately $2.75 per metre in 5 metre lengths so when you are trying to manufacture a piece of duct you take the flange off the shelf, cut 4 pieces, deburr it, fit it with expensive corners, place on the end of the raw edge, and either tech screw or spotweld and seal.
With TDC/TDF you simply notch your sheet, roll of the flange, bend up the duct and clip in 4 corners at $1.20 all up. The TDC/TDF method will save you approx. $40 per joint. Eliminates the necessity to stock knock on flange, it saves your cash flow as well as labour savings. The TDC/TDF method is really a no brainer. Any serious Duct Manufacturer can not afford to not use either TDC or TDF.
Use the TDC/TDF method with a beading machine for strengthening ribs in lieu of time consuming cross braking for a better looking piece of duct. Fold the duct in L Shape, C Shape, or Wrap utilising the Kleen TDC/TDF Wrap Brake. You’ll be amazed at the savings your business can make.
