For the Ultimate Workshop Convenience
Dust collector blast gates let you control a dust collection system’s vacuum pressure in order to achieve maximum suction at a desired tool station. Here’s how they work:
- At each key tool station, a hose is attached to the tool and routed to the main dust collector vacuum
- For each hose run, a gate is installed that can be turned on or off.
- The blast gates are typically closed. When one gate is opened all vacuum pressure is made available to that tool station
The iVAC Pro family of automated dust collector blast gates lets you control vacuum flows precisely and automatically. All of our blast gates are electrically driven and programmable. There are three methods of controlling an iVAC Pro Blast Gate:
-
Fully Automatic: When the power tool is turned on, the iVAC Tool Interface (iVAC Pro Tool, Pro Tool HP, Pro Tool Plus Auto Sensor) sends a wireless signal instructing the iVAC Pro Switch to turn on the Dust Collector, and this same signal is used to instruct the blast gate to open. When the power tool turns off it instructs the blast gate to close.
-
iVAC Pro Remote: In this mode an iVAC Pro Remote is used to send the Open and Close commands to the pro blast gate.
-
Remotely from a wired cable: In this mode the operation of a toggle switch on a wired cable will instruct the blast gate to open or close.
