Dust Collection

4" Plastic Blast Gates

When creating or adding to our dust collection system, there are a great many details we need to keep in mind. Typically we will have one dust collector connected to multiple machines around the shop. While this kind of works, it can work much better if you could turn off the airflow to all the machines except for the one being used at the moment. That’s where blastgates step in. Simply open or close the blastgate to allow or block airflow to a specific machine.

Plastic Blast Gates

Typically we will have one dust collector connected to multiple machines around the shop.

Simply open or close the blastgate to allow or block airflow to a specific machine.

FULTON Blastgate

By simply opening and closing a properly installed blastgate you'll be able to direct you dust collectors airflow to the exact machine location you need it. This helps reduce wear and tear on your dust collector as well as increasing its efficiency by not having to draw in so much air from different locations. This also helps increase your suction power to help collect even more dust than without a blastgate.

Directing Airflow Where You Need It

Ideally, the way blastgates should work, is that you should have a blastgate setup for every machine in your workshop. When you close all the blastgates to all the other machines, you increase the airflow or suction to the machine being used. This means that you should see less dust on the machine that is being used since it is getting maximum airflow or suction. This also helps reduce the amount of wear and tear on your dust collector.

Tapered Ports on Both Sides

This blastgate features tapered ports on both sides of the blastgate. The tapered ports allow hoses (sold separately) to be slipped on and clamped with hose clamps (sold separately) with ease. Tapered ports will also accept some tapered fittings.

Built in Stop

The sliding gate has a built in stop so it will not slide out when fully opened.

Close the Blastgate...

Close the blastgate to simply redirect your airflow to another hose line.

Open the blastgate...

Open the blastgate to allow airflow through the hose with the blastgate

Optimal Dust Collection Setup...

When using multiple machines at different times, the ideal way to achieve the best dust collection efficiency is to make sure that all the airflow is to one machine only. To do this, the common way is to add a blastgate on to each hose line to give yourself complete control of your dust collection system.

Easy to connect

With a tapered port on both sides of the blastgate, connecting to hoses is super easy with a set of hose clamps. (Hose and clamps NOT included).

Designed for Hose to Hose Connections

The Fulton Blastgate has been designed to work with dust collection hose. Works with PVC hose, rigid flex hose and more. Will not work with PVC drainage pipe found at big box stores.
