Guyed or Laterally Supported Stack System

Suscon Stacks most produced design is a guyed or laterally supported stack. These stacks can be utilized for many applications. They are in use for exhausting boilers, diesel generators, incinerators, industrial furnaces and kilns. Suscon Stacks are used where high temperatures, corrosive conditions or longevity of the product life is desired.

It is usually constructed with UL 959 components. Stacks of this construction can be fabricated in 4'-0" sections for use with joint bands for assembly or they can be welded in to lengths suitable for the client's requirements. The stack's component construction is a factory built, refractory lined and steel jacketed design.

Supporting methods for this type of Suscon Stack can be one or a combination of the following; guy wires with the wires attached at the stack and running down to anchor points on the ground or to an adjacent building, or by the use of lateral braces which are attached to a building or supporting structure. Suscon Stacks can provide supporting load information to assist the client's engineer in designing the supports.

Engineered/Free Standing Stack-System

When your requirements for stack performance are aesthetics, quality and longevity, Suscon Stacks engineered/free-standing stacks are the industry standard. This type of stack does not require guy wires or lateral bracing. It is designed to stand by itself.

Like the supported stacks previously described, these Suscon Stacks are constructed of a high temperature refractory liner centrifugally cast in a steel outer jacket. This factory built, refractory lined, steel jacketed design offers distinct advantages over all other stack constructions.

Dual wall steel stacks do not have the temperature, wind, vibration integrities or acid-resistant qualities of Suscon Stacks. No steel, including stainless is acid proof. These inherent weaknesses could lead to the collapse of such stacks. Suscon Stacks steel encased, refractory stacks have the weight and stiffness of masonry along with the strength of steel.
