Powermatic Dust Collector 3 HP 1PH 230 V 30-Micron Bag Filter Kit

Description

Choked by heavy wood shavings and coarse planer chips accumulating across your production millwork floor? The Powermatic 3HP Dust Collector Kit pulls 1,900 CFM across multi-machine duct drops. It uses standard 30-micron fabric filter bags, requiring outdoor exhaust venting or micro-filter canister upgrades if your work requires sub-micron sanding dust capture.

Heavy 12-gauge formed sheet steel constructs the motor housing and dual collection drums, finished in classic Powermatic mustard yellow powder coat. An industrial continuous-duty TEFC motor outputs 3.0 HP, pulling 15 full-load amps on 230V 60Hz single-phase circuits at 3,450 RPM. Total dry bare machine weight measures 215 lbs. Assembled machine dimensions measure 62 inches long, 28 inches wide, and 90 inches tall on wheels.

Key Features of Powermatic PM1900

Commercial millwork shops buy Powermatic PM1900 collectors to run simultaneous extraction across table saws, planers, and jointers without line suction loss. Heavy machinery pricing delivers continuous-duty 3.0 HP motor engineering that withstands three-shift manufacturing runs.

• Industrial 3.0 HP TEFC induction motors drive continuous dust extraction across long shop production shifts.
• Heavy-gauge all-steel fan impellers chop up heavy wood shavings without cracking on hard knot strikes.
• Triple four-inch intake splitter ports connect three woodworking machines at once for efficient shop ducting.
• Dual lower collection bags provide ten cubic feet of chip storage to cut production bag dump intervals.
• Upper 30-micron woven fabric filter bags capture airborne wood shavings and coarse cutter dust.
• Four smooth-rolling caster wheels roll across sawdust-covered shop floors to reposition between machine tools.
• Magnetic starter switches protect motor windings against electrical brownouts, line surges, and phase drops.

Static Pressure Blower Bench Metrics

Airflow bench evaluations confirm 1,900 CFM output in free air at 3,450 RPM rotor speed through an eight-inch inlet. Connected to fifteen feet of ducting, static pressure holds at 10.2 inches of water gauge resistance with zero motor bog. Shaft runout measures under 0.001 inches TIR, preventing motor bearing chatter under continuous load. Motor current draw stabilizes at 14.2 FLA on 230V single-phase circuits. Operating sound meter tests record 78 dB at six feet from the blower housing without frame rattle.

Woodshop Floor Usability Realities

Moving this 215 lb collector takes two workers pushing the steel frame uprights over sawdust-covered concrete slabs. Emptying the dual lower collection bags takes two hands on the snap-ring band clamps. Do not buy this machine for hot metal grinding sparks, concrete silica extraction, or wet plumbing slurries.

• Empty the lower collection bags before shavings reach the upper steel separator drum rings.
• Beat dust from the upper fabric filter bags with a wooden paddle once each week.
• Inspect the four-inch intake splitter port caps for tight air seal fit every month.
