Industrial Ventilation, the Outdated Way
Traditional industrial ventilation is like turning on every light in your house just to read a book in one room - complete waste of electricity!

Industrial Ventilation With Ecogate

Sensors detect when a machine is about to generate dust or fumes.
Triggered by the sensor, the Smart Gate opens for active machines, directing airflow only where needed.
The greenBOX calculates the exact airflow needed and opens or closes gates in real time.
Power Master VFD adjusts fan speed based on real-time demand, reducing energy.
Any dust collector error automatically stops the fan.

How Ecogate Improves Industrial Ventilation
1. Initial Setup
When a ventilation system is first installed, the main duct and all workstations get the right amount of airflow.
The fan runs at full speed to support all workstations, even when demand is low.
100 = Minimum Conveying Velocities
100 = Drop Air Velocities
How Substantial Savings are Possible
Leveraging the Fan Law
Fan power doesn’t decrease at the same rate as airflow—it follows the Affinity Laws, meaning small reductions in air volume lead to exponentially larger energy savings. For example, cutting airflow by just 30% reduces fan power demand by nearly 70%, as shown in the graph. This is because fan energy consumption is proportional to the cube of airflow reduction.
10% reduction in airflow → ~27% energy savings
25% reduction in airflow → ~68% energy savings
50% reduction in airflow → ~87.5% energy savings
