VICON DUCT BEADER

Fast, Consistent Bead Forming for HVAC Duct Fabrication

The Vicon Duct Beader is designed to rapidly form reinforcing beads in rectangular ductwork, improving duct rigidity and structural integrity while increasing fabrication efficiency. Built for HVAC fabrication environments, the Duct Beader creates consistent duct beads in 12-inch increments without the need for cross-braking, helping shops streamline production and improve finished product quality.

Engineered for 18-gauge mild steel and widths up to 60 inches, the machine delivers smooth, reliable operation through a heavy-duty chain drive system and efficient single-phase motor. With production speeds up to 40 feet per minute, fabricators can quickly process duct sections while maintaining consistent bead placement across every part.

Simple operation, dependable performance, and durable construction make the Vicon Duct Beader an ideal solution for fabricators looking to increase productivity while producing stronger, more consistent ductwork. Designed, engineered, manufactured, and supported in the USA, the Vicon Duct Beader delivers the reliability and performance HVAC fabricators depend on every day.
