iVAC Pro Blast Gates
- Maximized Suction Power: With only one blast gate open, all the suction from your dust collector is focused on that one tool, increasing its effectiveness in capturing dust and debris.
- Energy Efficiency: By closing the other gates, you reduce the load on your dust collection system, making it work more efficiently and potentially prolonging its lifespan.
- Reduced Airflow Resistance: When multiple gates are open, it increases the distance the air has to travel and creates more resistance, lowering overall airflow and reducing dust collection performance.
- Safety and Cleanliness: Focusing dust collection on one tool at a time minimizes airborne dust and keeps your shop cleaner and safer to work in.
The iVAC Pro family of automated dust collector blast gates lets you control vacuum flows precisely and automatically. All of our blast gates are wireless, 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 Pro Tool Plus 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 and the dust collector to turn off.
iVAC Pro Remote: An iVAC Pro Remote can be used to send the Open and Close commands to the pro blast gate.
Remotely from a wired cable: The operation of a toggle switch on a wired cable can also instruct the blast gate to open or close.
Installation is straightforward and each blast gate is powered from a 115Vac UL/CSA approved AC adaptor.
You can choose from 4″ plastic, 4″ metal or 6″ metal blast gate versions. The metal versions are typically used where fireproof materials are required in critical ducting paths.
