What is a self cleaning blast gate?
Self-Cleaning Blast Gates are the same construction as Full Blast Gates except the galvanized steel blade pushes material like greenwood, or wood sap through the end of the Blast Gate casting. This allows the blade to close without jamming on compacted materials.
What are blast gates for dust collection?
Blast gates are used to focus a dust collection system’s vacuum pressure for maximum material extraction at the desired location. Blast gates are positioned near individual pieces of machinery and are closed by default — blocking air flow.
What is a vacuum blast gate?
A blast gate is a gate valve used to focus a dust collection system’s vacuum pressure for maximum dust (or other material) extraction at the desired location. Blast gates are positioned near individual pieces of machinery and operate by being closed by default, blocking air flow.
Do you need to ground a dust collection system?
All dust collection systems build up static electricity and if not grounded, that electricity becomes a hazard that could start a fire.
Are blast gates directional?
Blast gates are designed to air seal in one direction with the plate toward the collector – tightening the thumbscrew toward the collector will result in less air leakage.

What is a dust collector blast gate?
Blast gates are used to focus a dust collection system’s vacuum pressure for maximum material extraction at the desired location. Blast gates are positioned near individual pieces of machinery and are closed by default — blocking air flow. When one blast gate is opened, all available suction is focused at that location, maximizing the
