Specializing in Perforated Tubes – But Offering More

At Newcan, perforated tubes are our specialty. Offering up to 65% open area, these tubes provide cleaner internal surfaces and superior flow efficiency compared to louvered alternatives. They’re ideal for filtration systems that require high throughput, minimal flow restriction and consistent performance.

While perforated tubes remain our specialty for their superior flow and cleanliness, we recognize that some applications demand louvered construction for specific airflow or structural requirements. That’s why Newcan offers both perforated and louvered tube options—ensuring you have the flexibility to choose the best fit for your system's performance and design needs.
