Our heavy-duty, patented rotating blade gate is recommended for general dust collection and fume collection (woodworking, food packaging, welding, general dust).

This gate body is compatible with Ecogate's Standard and Smart systems. A Standard or Smart Ecogate motor, respectively, is required.

Ecogate gates are the most robust, advanced, and cost-effective industrial gates on the market. They're less expensive compared to pneumatically operated gates - less expensive to install, and less expensive to operate. They're operated by an industrial 24V DC motor and equipped with reliable magnetic limit switches (without processor board). Rotating blade gates are available from 4" up to 26" (14-26" with Purchase Order), zinc-plated or stainless steel (with Purchase Order).

Material: Zinc-plated metal (stainless-steel gates are available with Purchase Order).

Duct System Mounting: Standard angle flanges (sold separately).

Seal: Plastic, the gate is sealed under negative pressure (created by ventilation fan).

Installation: Indoor-use only, use with negative pressure (not on positive side of the fan).

Opening/Closing Time: per table below (about 1 second per diameter inch) at 24V DC and zero pressure.

Maximum Operational Pressure: 27" w.c. (for higher pressure you may order Ecogate Butterfly-Style Gates).

Maximum Pressure Loss: 0.1 " w.c. (at 4,500 FPM).

Temperature Range: Motor 14° F to 113° F (-10° C to 45° C); with Mobilgrease 28 the temperature range is from -40° F (-40° C); plastic seal: -200° C to 80°C, seal glue: -20° to 70° C.

Ingress Protection (IP): IP51.

Required Maintenance: A properly installed gate does not require maintenance (if the gate is not properly installed, dust can accumulate inside the gate body, and it will require cleaning by compressed air). Once per year it is recommended to test gate by using the greenBOX control unit.

Gates are used to close the ventilation drops at workstations that are not in operation. For best performance, connect to a greenBOX control unit to create an intelligent dust collection system.

Standard angle flanges are used to install the gate in the duct system (gate's angle flange mounting holes are both US and metric).

Adapters to install the gate to Nordfab's QuickConnect duct systems are available from Ecogate (with Purchase Order).

The gate body must be supported in the duct system to avoid pinching the rotating blade.

Install the gate in the straight section of duct, three duct diameters away from workstation hood or duct elbow (at both sides of the gate).

The rotating blade is equipped with magnets for both Open and Closed positions. The magnets are read by limit switches installed in a motor body.
