Air-Pulse Flow Control Valves for Filter Cleaning
Designed for use in dust-collection systems, these normally closed diaphragm valves periodically burst air to knock debris from filters. Connect the valve’s inlet port to your air supply, and connect the outlet port to the blow tube in your system.
A solenoid is required to actuate the valve.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow a control valve can provide to your cylinder.

Self-Cleaning Blast Gates

Use in dust collection systems. The slide pushes through the top of the gate to clear debris. These blast gates control the flow of air and material through duct systems. The locking screw holds the gate’s slide in position.
Aluminum is lighter in weight than stainless steel and has good corrosion resistance. 304 stainless steel is more corrosion resistant than galvanized steel.

More convenient than other blast gates, these automatic gates open and close in sync with dust collectors, fume exhausters, and other machines to control the flow of air and material. The double-acting air cylinder moves the gate.

Use these components (sold separately) to put together a duct system to collect sawdust, chips, shavings, and granular material from woodworking operations. Hose clamps are available.
For maximum safety and to avoid a dangerous buildup of static electricity, you must use the grounding kit (sold separately).
