--Dust Management Solutions
Clean air isn't optional. It's essential.
Intelligent tool-responsive dust collection, automated blast gates, and real-time air quality monitoring—all working together.
THE CHALLENGE
Dust doesn't wait. Neither should you.
Every minute of operation without proper dust management puts your facility, equipment, and most importantly—your people—at risk.
Health & Safety Hazards
Fine particulates penetrate deep into lungs. Long-term exposure leads to respiratory disease, and certain wood dusts are classified carcinogens. Your people deserve better.
Time & Money Waste
Every tool change means walking across the shop to close one gate and open another—time that adds up to hours each week. Automated blast gates eliminate this wasted motion while directing full suction only where it's needed, allowing a single dust collector to effectively serve more machines than a manual system ever could.
Energy Waste
Running dust collection at full power 100% of the time wastes energy and shortens equipment life. Intelligent automation changes the equation.
Compliance Burden
OSHA PELs, NFPA 652, local regulations—the requirements are complex and the penalties are steep. Manual documentation drains time from what matters.
THE SOLUTION
Implement one or all three as part of a complete dust management ecosystem.
AUTOMATED DUST COLLECTION | AUTOMATED BLAST GATES | AUTOMATED AIR QUALITY FILTRATION
01.
Automated Dust Collection
Your collector runs when you need it. Stops when you don't.
Our smart dust collection system automatically activates when tools are powered on and shuts down after a configurable delay—saving energy, reducing noise, and extending equipment life without requiring a single manual switch flip.
- Automatic on/off triggered by tool activation
- Configurable run-timer/ off delay ensures complete dust evacuation
- Variable frequency drive (VFD) integration for staged startup
- Real-time status monitoring from GRIT App
- Works with existing single-phase and three-phase collectors
02.
Automated Blast Gates
Retrofit intelligence onto your existing infrastructure.
Don't rip out your ductwork. Our motorized blast gate actuators mount directly to your existing metal blast gates, bringing automated zone control to any dust collection system without major renovation.
- Mounts on standard sliding metal blast gates 2.5'' to 12''
- Opens automatically when associated tool powers on
- Closes gates to unused zones for maximum suction where needed
- Wireless mesh network—not limited to hardwire associations
03.
Automated Air Filtration
See the invisible. Act before problems become crises.
Continuous particulate monitoring across your facility with automatic filtration response. When dust levels exceed your configured thresholds, the system activates air filtration—and logs everything for compliance documentation.
- PM2.5 and PM10 particulate sensing with industrial-grade accuracy
- Configurable alert thresholds with escalating notifications
- Automatic activation of air filtration units when levels spike
- Historical data logging for OSHA compliance and trend analysis
- Multi-zone monitoring with per-area dashboards
