Advanced Monitoring and Motor Control for Industrial Dust Collectors

This follow-up article breaks down how Ecogate’s Dust Collector Controller gives you full visibility and control over your dust collection system. It connects directly to the greenBOX and Power Master VFD to form a single, streamlined interface for system monitoring and control.

Motor sequencing happens automatically based on production activity. Built-in diagnostics track performance and catch issues early. And because logic is configured in the greenBOX interface, there’s no need for PLCs or custom programming.

Proven Longevity in Highly Abrasive Environments

When Owens Corning’s FOAMGLAS® facility in the Czech Republic needed a dust collection system that could handle glass particles and fibers, they chose Ecogate. Fourteen years later, their Smart Gates are still going strong.

After testing different gate styles, they landed on our Rotating Blade Gates for their durability in abrasive conditions. Today, all but one gate remains in continuous operation. The only exception was installed in a location with excessive turbulence, which highlights the importance of proper placement.

Even as the facility has replaced its heavy-duty ducting over time, their Ecogate system has remained reliable. That kind of longevity speaks for itself.
