Air Handling Systems Aluminum Blast Gates 3"-24" are constructed of aluminum castings with a galvanized steel slide blade. Blast Gates can be disassembled for cleaning. Blast Gates are used to balance the air going from one branch to another branch. When another machine is used for only part of the workday, you can close the Blast Gate and divert the air to another machine.14"-24" (even sizes) call for pricing and availability.

When connecting hose to gate, don't forget to order a Hose to Gate Connector (Part # BC) for each gate. See below.

Half Blast Gates have the same construction and quality as the Full Blast Gate. Use Half Blast Gates when working with wood containing a lot of pitch (it prevents the pitch from clogging the slide track). Half Blast Gate is easily installed in existing ductwork by cutting a slot halfway around the duct and sliding the 20 Gauge blade into the opening, then pop riveting the casting to the outside of the duct.12"-18" call for pricing and availability.

Self-Cleaning Blast Gates are the same construction as Full Blast Gates except the galvanized steel blade pushes material like greenwood, or wood sap through the end of the Blast Gate casting. This allows the blade to close without jamming on compacted materials.

Air Handling Systems air-tight blast gates are used in industrial dust extraction and kept in the closed position until the vacuum source is needed. These blast gates increase the efficiency of the vacuum system by closing off inactive segments thus increasing the vacuum pressure at other active areas. The average blast gate leaks air; thus, not completely preserving the vacuum suction for actively open vacuum ports. This creates less than desired vacuum pressure and makes picking up even the smallest particles more difficult.

Specifications Air-Tight Blast Gates:

Air-tight across the blast gate up to 16 Hg”

Air-tight self-sealing gasket assembly

Zinc plated steel

Available in 3”, 4”, 6” and 8” OD

Allow 4 - 6 weeks lead time

Blastgate Connector (BC) serves as an extension to facilitate installation of Flexhose to Blastgates. Connectors are three inches long, 22 gauge, and fit snugly over small end of Blastgate, Flexhose fits tightly over the other end. Pop rivet Connector to Blastgate and add hose clamp, for a long lasting easy installation. (Gate NOT inlcuded)
