Operators frequently don't bother to close the gates, resulting in substantial loss of dust collecting efficiency and a subsequent health hazard. In fact, in order to comply with environmental work rules, many shops simply install oversized central dust collecting systems so that all gates may be left open and resign themselves to the additional expense of powering the vacuum and the heating or cooling costs as the air in the shop is continuously pumped outside. All these problems are addressed by the ECOGATE System.
What you will need
- motorized gates for each machine (EG204 - 4", EG205 - 5", or EG206 - 6", EG207 - 7", or EG208 - 8")
- greenBOX controller (for up to 8 workstations, EG101)
- Power relay only in case your dust collector is bigger than 1 HP (@ 115V) or bigger than 2 HP (@230V), EG400 (1 or 3-phase, up to 15 HP).
- Toroidal sensor (in case you have some workstations that do not vibrate - the standard sensor reads machinery vibrations), EG312.
The simplest way to get started is to order the ECOGATE Set EG001 (includes the EG101 greenBOX controller, four 4" gates EG204, four vibration sensors EG306, one wired remote switch, four low voltage cables between the controller and gates and a step-by-step User And Installation Guide).
