The
blast gate was identified on side scatter/CD45 dot plot.
But then I cast an eye on all those
blast gate slits, which all bled off valuable suction, and caulked them, too.
This problem can be adjusted and corrected by the
blast gate located between the dust collector and the separator.
The test also indicates whether adjustments are required in the abrasive separator
blast gate to the ventilating system, or to the metering system in the automatic abrasive replenisher.
Energy efficient: ramp down of motors when no material is present, dust control
blast gatesFor $70 to $110 and an hour of your time, you can set up a smaller version of a whole-shop dust collection system, complete with enough
blast gates and inlets to handle a range of fixed and portable tools.
Ecogate won for the Ecogate dust collection gate system, a computerized system that closes
blast gates for machinery that is not operating and regulates the power of the dust collector, thus saving energy.
Most times, this can be attained by moving the
blast gates on the back of the separator.
