Powermatic 3 HP 3PH 230/460 V 2-Micron Canister Kit

Description

Evacuate fine wood dust and planer shavings by running the Powermatic 3HP 2-Micron Dust Collector across commercial cabinet shop duct drops. This three-phase unit pulls 1,900 CFM through twin pleated canisters. It requires a dedicated 230V or 460V three-phase electrical supply, making it incompatible with standard single-phase residential workshops or 120V convenience outlets.

Heavy 12-gauge cold-rolled carbon sheet steel constructs the motor blower housing and support frame, coated in Powermatic industrial mustard yellow powder paint. A continuous-duty TEFC induction motor outputs 3.0 HP, drawing 8.6 amps on 230V or 4.3 amps on 460V three-phase circuits at 3,450 RPM. Total dry bare machine weight measures 235 lbs. Assembled floor dimensions measure 62 inches long, 28 inches wide, and 90 inches tall on caster wheels.

Key Features of Powermatic PM1900CK

Commercial millwork plants buy Powermatic PM1900CK collectors to run simultaneous extraction across automated table saws, shapers, and planers without suction drop. Industrial pricing delivers heavy three-phase motor engineering and two-micron filtration built for multi-shift manufacturing runs.

• Industrial 3.0 HP three-phase TEFC induction motors drive continuous dust extraction across long shop shifts.
• Dual high-efficiency pleated canister filters capture 99 percent of fine airborne wood dust down to two microns.
• Top crank handles rotate internal cleaning paddles to dislodge caked dust into lower bags without canister removal.
• 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.
• Clear plastic lower collection bags provide ten cubic feet of chip storage to cut production dump cycles.
• Smooth-rolling caster wheels roll across sawdust-covered shop floors to reposition between woodworking machinery.

Canister Static Suction Bench Metrics

Airflow bench evaluations confirm 1,900 CFM output in free air at 3,450 RPM rotor speed through an eight-inch main inlet. Connected to fifteen feet of ducting, static pressure holds at 10.4 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 8.2 FLA on 230V three-phase circuits. Operating sound meter tests record 77 dB at six feet from the blower housing without frame rattle.

Woodshop Floor Usability Realities

Moving this 235 lb collector takes two workers pushing the steel frame uprights over concrete slab expansion joints. Clearing the pleated canisters takes three rotations of the top hand cranks after heavy jointing runs. Do not buy this machine for hot metal grinding sparks, concrete silica extraction, or wet plumbing slurries.

• Rotate the top canister cleaning handles three full turns after each high-volume planer pass.
• Empty the clear lower collection bags before chips rise into the upper steel drum ring.
• Inspect the four-inch intake splitter caps for tight air seal fit every two months.

Factory Warranty Manifest Inclusions
