The world's only on-demand control system that measures airflow at every gate — and adjusts in real time.
Conventional Ventilation, the Outdated Way
Imagine every light in your home controlled by a single switch — every room illuminated, whether anyone's in it or not.
That's exactly how conventional dust collection systems operate: running at full power regardless of how many machines are actually running.
The result? Wasted electricity, accelerated equipment wear, and energy bills that never reflect your actual production.

Sensors detect when a machine is about to generate dust or fumes.
Triggered by the sensor, the Smart Gate opens for active machines, directing airflow only where needed.
The greenBOX calculates the exact airflow needed and opens or closes gates in real time.
Power Master VFD adjusts fan speed based on real-time demand, reducing energy.
Any dust collector error automatically stops the fan.
Airflow That Adapts to Your Production In Real-Time
Ecogate’s On-Demand Control System matches airflow directly to your production schedule, not just to machines turning on or off. Each workstation is equipped with a sensor, tracking electrical current, voltage, vibration, motion, or even integrating directly with your PLC’s dry contact outputs, to precisely detect when dust or fumes are about to be generated. This proactive approach lets the greenBOX controller instantly open/close gates and adjust fan speed exactly when and where suction is truly needed.
This means your ventilation system operates with surgical precision, preventing energy waste, maintaining safe duct velocities, and keeping your workshop cleaner, quieter, and safer. If precision is what you need, check out our Precision Airflow Gates.
Benefits of An Ecogate
On-Demand Control System
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
The Smartest Investment in Dust Collection
Ventilation systems equipped with Ecogate may have a higher initial investment, but over time they cost significantly less to operate. By reducing energy use by up to 70%, lowering mechanical wear, and extending filter life, they deliver a 35–40% reduction in total cost of ownership.
Conventional systems run at full power all day, wasting energy and accelerating wear regardless of actual demand. Ecogate adds intelligence, delivering the right amount of airflow only when and where it’s needed. The result is a return on investment within 1-3 years making the Ecogate system pay for itself and then some.
