Air-Tight Blast Gates

Blast gates are used in industrial dust extraction and kept in the closed position until the vacuum source is needed. 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, whether manually or automatically activated, 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.
