Vicon Coil Line
In a typical commercial job, the rectangular duct design averages 75% straight duct and 25% fittings.
Investing in machinery that automates the straight duct portion of the job is a huge savings for the contractor in efficiency, manpower, and scrap loss. Such an investment is not cheap. Vicon recognizes that many shops prefer to increase capabilities in stages rather than buying a “starter line” and then having to purchase an entirely new line when adding options or making Full Wrap Duct.
The “Front End” of their Full Coil Line is their “Duct Line Express” segment. The beauty of this segment is that it can be expanded to a Full Coil Line at any time, or remain a front end line that simply uncoils, beads, notches, and blanks (cuts).
- D&N Duct—Miami, FL
Our customer H&M Mechanical previously had only a Front End Coil Line, but it was a brand that didn’t have the capability of expanding to a Full Wrap Line. When they purchased the Full Wrap Line from Vicon (with everything except the Liner option) they sped up productivity into overdrive, performing the most labor intensive portions of the process—Pittsburgh and Right Angle Flange, Drive Cleat Edge forming, Condu-Lock hole punching, Pitts Seam Sealant, the Transverse Lock (TDX or Slip and Drive) and the Bending—all automated and fast. What used to take them nearly two days, they can now do in less than two hours.
