Our remote control also has a timer function that allows programming in a specific amount of
run time between 1 and 99 minutes. When activated, the timer function allows the
POWERMATIC PM1300 to run a specific amount of time before it shuts off automatically.
Fan System
We designed a super efficient air system for the POWERMATIC
PM1300, based on a specially designed 12”-diameter impeller and
housing. The heavy-duty impeller has been optimized to both
move large amounts of air and to maintain that volume
consistently in a wide range of usage situations.
The specially designed impeller
insures strong, consistent airflow to
maximize the effectiveness of the
DC1300.
The fan section develops 1,064 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of
airflow at 6” of water. Velocity, also at 6” of water is 5,374 FPM
(feet per minute). Static pressure is 11.31 inches of water.
To make the POWERMATIC PM1300 compatible with the widest range of machines, it comes
with a single 6”-diameter inlet port fitted with a dual 4”-port adapter. One of the 4” ports comes
with a tethered, friction fit cover that seals it when not in use.
The inlet ports are mounted directly to the blower housing, putting them low on the
POWERMATIC PM1300 and on an even plane with the dust outlets on many machines. This
alignment keeps more of the hose flat on the floor for safety and eliminates much of the lifting
loss higher inlet ports experience to enhance performance.
To further enhance overall airflow we replaced the common flex hose
connection between the fan and collector housings with a curved,
smooth-walled sheet metal chute. Both ends of the chute have flange-
type connections with gaskets that help prevent even small leaks. This
chute has a larger inside area than a hose initially, and then tapers
down slightly as it runs to the collector housing. The smooth, flowing
shape of the chutes interior surfaces move air efficiently and
contribute to the overall performance of the POWERMATIC
PM1300.
The strength and rigid mounting of the sheet metal duct adds a
considerable amount of stability to the POWERMATIC PM1300
making it possible to eliminate two of the three legs normally needed
to support the collector housing. Eliminating two legs creates
substantially more unobstructed space that makes changing the
collection bag much easier.
The smooth, flowing lines of
this sheet metal chute make it
very efficient. This chute
replaces simple section of flex
hose found on most dust
collectors.
The collector housing is specially designed to a cyclonic effect that helps separate particles from
the air to enhance filtering and venting. The swirl of air also helps distribute the dust evenly in
the catch bag.
