Ecocate's On-demand
Control System

Hex Pattern Abstract Design (very long page).png

greenBOXControlUnit

The greenBOX is the system’s central controller, available in different models to fit various facility sizes. It manages airflow by processing data from sensors and gates, automatically adjusting fan speed and gate positions as needed.

PowerMasterVFD

Power Master VFD_edited.png

The Power Master VFD, built on an ABB ACS880 platform, adjusts fan speed in real time to match demand. It supports 230V, 460V, and 575V motors up to 420 HP. Set up is as fast as in 2-3 minutes and less prone to human error.

Ecogate offers different sensors to detect when a machine is about to generate dust, using current, voltage, or motion. Alternatively, machines can connect via dry contact instead of using a sensor.

Installation Material

Ecogate Standard Cable

Connects Standard Gates to the greenBOX 12 with color-coded individual wires that match Ecogate documentation for a stress-free installation.

Ecogate Sensor Cable

Connects Volt/Current sensors installed at workstations to the gate motor and is compatible with both Smart and Standard Gates. As this cable is often installed inside workstation electrical cabinets it must have high voltage insulation for safety.

Ecogate Master Cable

Ecogate Master Cable connects Smart Gates and the Power Master VFD to the greenBOX controller. It's also compatible with the greenBOX 12 for connecting the Power Master VFD. The gates and VFDs are connected in a daisy-chain, this simplifies installation as it reduces the number of cables necessary for installation.

Standard Angle Flanges

Our blast gates are designed with standard flanged ends and by default are compatible with flange rings.

Flange-to-QF Adapters

For those utilizing QF (Quick-Fit) duct systems, our QF adapters feature an industry-standard angle flange on one end and a Quick-Fit rolled edge on the other, allowing you to easily install one of our gates to your QF duct system.

Add-Ons

WinterMode-Kit-1.webp
Winter Mode Sensor Kit

Enhance your Ecogate On-Demand Control System with our Automatic Winter Mode feature. This kit includes two temperature sensors—one for measuring ambient air near the dust collector filters and another inside the ducting. As temperatures near freezing, the fan automatically operates at a slower pace to prevent filter bags from freezing, eliminating the need for manual start-stop operations. This smart feature allows the fan to run at a low, adjustable speed, achieving up to 85% electricity savings during winter mode compared to full-speed operation.

Averaging-Air-Velocity-Sensor.webp
Averaging Air Velocity Sensor

Complete your smart Ecogate On-Demand Control System with the Averaging Air Velocity Sensor™. This sensor offers unparalleled accuracy in measuring fan air volume by averaging velocity readings from the entire duct diameter inside the clean side duct.​ 

Netbook-Ecogate.webp
Netbook for greenBOX 12 System

Designed for smaller shops with up to 12 workstations, the greenBOX 12 controller offers a cost-effective solution. Our Netbook for greenBOX 12, equipped with pre-installed Ecogate software, simplifies both the setup and monitoring of your system. Plus, its remote access capability allows us to provide you with prompt support and assistance, ensuring smooth operation and peace of mind.
