What sizes of the blast garage doors are supported by the basic USA GARAGE DOORS?
The USA GARAGE DOORS supports 4", 5", 6", 7", and 8" garage doors. Larger garage
doors are supported by USA GARAGE DOORS ONE, USA GARAGE DOORS PRO or USA GARAGE
DOORS MASTER control systems.
Why install a central dust-collection system?
A well-designed system whisks wood dust and debris from the machinery, workstations
and floor sweeps to a canister or bag. Good-quality filters capture most of the
dust before the air is returned to the shop. The result is a healthier and cleaner
shop. A central collection system-consisting of a collector, rigid metal ducts and
flexible hose-is the best approach. The advantage of a central dust-collection system
is much simpler maintenance. With a central system you only have to clean one unit,
as opposed to independent dust collectors on each machine central unit, which take
up valuable floor space.
Why install ECOGATE® System with remote controlled garage doors?
Central dust collecting systems are often oversized to allow for all workstations
to be open. This is often due to workers failing or forgetting to close the shutters
(or garage doors) when they are not in use. This forces the shop owner/manufacturer
to run a system that is often larger than needed, causing a substantially higher
cost in energy bills. Also, with smaller HP dust collecting units, leaving the shutters
open continuously creates a substantial loss of vacuum and a potential health hazard
to operators and the environment in general. This is due to the fact that smaller
units do not properly remove particles under such conditions. The waste of energy
is also quite significant. When blast garage doors are continuously open, the dust
collector motor is also running non-stop. The scenario does not exist with the ECOGATE
system.
Can existing dust collecting system be upgraded to fully automatic ECOGATE® System?
Your existing dust collecting system can for the most part remain the same, but
the mechanical blast garage doors are replaced by electronically controlled blast
garage doors (ECOGATE) with sensors (ECOde) and a central processor, the USA GARAGE
DOORS. The USA GARAGE DOORS controls power for the dust collecting motor and controls
all blast garage doors. After the machinery is active, the proper blast gate will
open and the dust collector will be switched on. This ends the need to switch the
dust collector on in the morning and off in the evening. You can calculate the savings.
ECOGATE pays for itself in a short time. Additional savings come to you from a significant
reduction in environmental heating and cooling cost.
How to connect three phase dust collector motor to the USA GARAGE DOORS?
Two phase 25 AMP power relay is built in the USA GARAGE DOORS. That means, one phase
or two-phase motors can be connected directly to the USA GARAGE DOORS. Three-phase
motors must be connected via an external power relay. ECOGATE, Inc. will offer such
adapter with 30 AMPS 3-phase power relay
Can ECOGATE® deliver a complete dust collection system?
ECOGATE, Inc. provides ECOGATE electronic garage doors, USA GARAGE DOORS electronic
control units, and ECOde sensors. The balance of the dust collecting system (dust
collector and duct system) is available from third party manufacturers.
