TWIST’n FIX SUSPENSION

The Twist’n Fix rail can be used for circular or semi circular diffusers.
This exclusive suspension system presents important advantages for fitters and engineers: it allows time savings at the assembly on the site. Fort textile diffusers which have a diameter until 1000 mm, just one rail is necessary.
Thanks to its technical and innovative characteristics (fishplate with very fast tightening), the Twist’n Fix system limits the number of handlings at high height because it favours preassembly on the floor.
ATC has developed an aluminium rail with high resistance, twice more light than traditional systems of suspension.
This exclusive system offers a maximal rigidity, in comparison to Galva rail. It limits the number of intermediary points of anchorage (every 4 to 6 m. instead of every 2 m. for the Galva rail).
Particular efforts have been made to make easier the handling of products. The aluminium rail is presented in bars of 3ml (instead of 6ml for the Galva rail).
 

 
The conductors and diffusers are created for the hygiene and comfort of facilities. They are made of technical textiles and can therefore become dirty.
They should be protected during the active construction site phase.
This includes the preliminary assembly of their support structures.

Different types of support structures are available and should be analyzed by the following criteria :

Shapes and sections of the diffusers
Possibilities offered by the building
Material and installation costs
 

This system is reserved for circular diffusers. They are the most common and economical both in stationery and installation time per meter.

They are adaptable to the largest of constraints (fixations on walls, ceiling, changes in level).

During the study, it is necessary to integrate the anchorage points on which traction of approximately 250kg can be exerted. Cables suspension allows an easy sliding of the diffusers along a straight line, facilitating assembly and disassembly.
 

This system is essentially used for semi-circular and quarter circular diffusers. It offers a continuous and precise guidance ensuring that the original shape of the pathway is intact.

Supple semi-circular diffusers would become circular if they were not guided by this way. The use of PVC type 1 for fixation implies that installation will be done on smooth surfaces that are exempt of texture.

It is also possible to use shingles or sliding systems that ensure a less precise diffusers/streamline link.
 

This type of system is essentially used for suspension purposes.

Example of a building 10m high and 80m long.
Needs :

Punctual diffuser that is 8m long situated 4m above the floor and in the middle of the facility.

In this case, it is impossible to use PVC fixations and it is difficult to imagine cables along 80m.

It is therefore preferable to use rails that will be suspended from the ceiling in the zones to be treated.

The rail diffuser link can be done by sliding shingles.
