iVac Automatic Pro Blast Gates for Shop Dust Systems

Automated blast gates are a key component of an efficient shop dust collection network. The iVac Fully Automated Pro Blast Gate opens when its paired tool is running and closes when the tool stops, directing suction to the active machine and maintaining strong airflow without manual gate adjustment.

By closing off inactive duct branches, automated blast gates reduce static pressure losses across the system — meaning your dust collector delivers full suction to wherever it is needed most. For complete iVac system packages including switches and contactor hardware, see the full iVac collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an automated blast gate?

An automated blast gate is a motorized valve in a dust collection duct that opens when its associated tool is in use and closes when the tool stops, automatically directing suction to the active machine without manual adjustment.

How does the iVac Fully Automated Pro Blast Gate integrate with iVac switches?

The iVac Fully Automated Pro Blast Gate communicates wirelessly with iVac switches, opening in sync with the tool's startup signal and closing when the tool shuts off.

Where can I buy a complete iVac dust collection automation kit?

Complete multi-piece iVac system packs are available in the iVac collection at Infinity Tools, including configurations with switches, blast gates, and high-capacity contactors.

How does the iVac Fully Automated Pro Blast Gate work?

The iVac Fully Automated Pro Blast Gate opens and closes automatically in response to signals from an iVac tool switch or receiver — when the connected power tool turns on, the gate opens to allow airflow from that machine; when the tool stops, the gate closes to maintain suction at whichever machine is running next. This automation eliminates the need to manually open and close gates as you move between machines in a multi-tool shop. See the iVac Fully Automated Pro Blast Gate product page for specifications.

What size ducting do iVac automated blast gates fit?

iVac automated blast gates are available in sizes to fit the standard dust collection duct diameters used in most woodworking shops, typically 4-inch and 2.5-inch hose connections. Always confirm the inlet and outlet dimensions of the gate match your duct diameter before ordering. Reducers can adapt gates to different hose sizes if needed.

Can I use iVac automated blast gates with a central dust collector and multiple machines?

Yes — this is exactly the scenario iVac automated blast gates are designed for. Each gate is assigned to a specific machine via its paired iVac tool switch, so when you turn on the table saw, only that machine's gate opens and directs full suction to it. This approach maximizes the efficiency of a single dust collector across an entire shop by delivering full airflow where it is needed rather than splitting it across open gates.

Do iVac automated blast gates require hardwiring or do they plug in?

iVac automated blast gates are electrically powered but are designed to connect within the iVac ecosystem without traditional hardwiring — they communicate with iVac tool switches to receive open and close commands. Power is typically supplied via a low-voltage connection included in the system. Installation is designed to be straightforward for the DIY shop owner without requiring an electrician.

What is the difference between a manual blast gate and an iVac automated blast gate?

A manual blast gate requires the operator to physically slide or rotate the gate open and closed when switching between machines, which is easy to forget and disruptive to workflow. An iVac automated gate opens and closes on its own in response to which tool is running, ensuring dust collection is always active at the right machine without any manual steps. For shops with multiple machines, automation significantly improves both convenience and dust capture effectiveness.

Are iVac automated blast gates covered by Infinity Tools' quality guarantee?

Yes — all iVac products sold by Infinity Tools are backed by the Infinity Tools quality guarantee. If a product does not meet expectations, the support team will help make it right. Full guarantee terms are on the quality guarantee page.
