Ecogate Gates Paper
In industrial ventilation, every detail of a gate's selection and installation impacts your system's performance, energy costs, and long-term reliability. Mistakes here can lead to turbulent airflow, material buildup, and inconsistent dust capture.
​
This complimentary paper, "Ecogate Gates: Selection, Installation Best Practice, and Comparison," provides the comprehensive guidance you need to selecting the right gate and installing it properly.
In this paper you'll learn:
How to Choose the Right Gate: A step-by-step process for selecting the correct gate style (Rotating Blade or Butterfly), material (zinc-plated or stainless steel), and motor type (Standard, Smart, or Precision Airflow) for your specific application.
​
Essential Installation Best Practices: The critical three-duct-diameter rule to prevent jamming and maintain a maintenance-free installation, especially for rotating blade gates.
​
A Technical Comparison of Motor Types: Detailed differences between Standard, Smart, and Precision Airflow motors, including their compatibility with various greenBOX controllers and ability to measure airflow metrics.
​
Why Motorized is Superior to Pneumatic: A direct, data-backed comparison showing why 24V DC motorized operation is more cost-effective, reliable, and easier to operate than conventional pneumatic gates.
