The POWERMATIC PM1900 is designed with the power to work with planers, wide belt sanders and most woodworking machines. Its powerful dust-evacuating suction, effective filtering, multiple connection and large collection capacity make the POWERMATIC PM1900 a capable central dust collection system for the whole shop. Plus, it packs those capabilities into a durable, space-saving package that accommodates virtually any shop size and needs. The POWERMATIC PM1900 is shipped as a bare machine without filter elements or catch bags allowing the buyer to “design” the system they want. The fabric filter and catch bag sets as well as the pleated canister filters with five plastic catch bags are sold as individual kits. This allows the purchaser to save money by getting the POWERMATIC PM1900 with the filter style wanted without paying for and then discarding an unused “standard” filter and bag sets. Filtering Efficiency The bag filter elements are 20” in diameter and 48” in length. Upright hooks are included to support the bags when the POWERMATIC PM1900 is not running. Spring steel band clamps secure the filter bags to the twin collector housings. The fabric collector bags use spring retaining rings sewn into their upper edges that fit into a groove in the collector housings making installation and removal tool free. Many manufacturers use an outside band for securing collection bags that can be very difficult to work with, especially when done alone. The bag type elements filters out 96% of 30 micron particles. The canister filters are 20” in diameter and 29” long. The canisters mount directly to the collector housings and seal with factory installed foam gaskets within the canister flanges. Four finger- operated knobs lock each canister to the collector housings. Despite the canisters compact overall size, its pleated filter element has six times the filtering surface area of the fabric bag type. A pair of “hands” (left) within the canister flex the pleated element to knock off excess buildup. The hands are operated by the external handle (right), which is generally turned through one revolution per month in most home woodshop circumstances. The canisters filter 86% of 1 micron particles and 98% of 2 micron particles. To maintain that efficiency, a top-mounted handle operates a pair of “hands” within the canister. When turned the hands wipe across the interior filter pleats, flexing them to knock off excessive dust buildup but leaving the beneficial layer. Turning the top-mounted handle one full revolution per month (per canister) under normal conditions is all that is required. The oval POWERMATIC sticker on the canister exteriors can be easily peeled off the canisters wire mesh if one wants to remove any possible impact on performance though none has been recorded. The difference in height between the fabric and canister filter elements can be an issue in shop spaces with low ceilings or overhead clearances. The POWERMATIC PM1900 has an overall height of just under 6 feet with the canisters installed compared to 92 .” when equipped with the fabric filter bags and their hangars. Collector (catch) bag capacity for both the fabric and plastic bags is 10 cubic feet. Power and Control The 3 HP motor (1Ph version only) features a magnetic start switch that protects the motor itself, and you from unexpected power variations or outages. The POWERMATIC PM1900 is available in two configurations. First is with a 3HP, 1Ph 220V (only) TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor. We also offer a version with a 3HP motor running on 3Ph, 230/460V power, wired for 230V from the factory. POWERMATIC motors are rated using a continuous duty cycle rather than the “peak” or “max developed” claims so common in the industry. Very often new POWERMATIC users are pleasantly surprised by the amount of power our motors actually deliver when compared to other motors with similar power ratings in their shop. The motor is secured to a common mount with the blower section, directly on the base platform. This creates a very low center of gravity that makes moving the POWERMATIC PM1900 safe and easy. Because woodworkers sometimes locate their dust collector in an out of the way portion of the shop or connected to a permanently installed hard tubing system, we added a full-function, infrared remote control (1Ph version only) that emits its invisible light-based signal in a 120- degree cone. That means the pocket-sized remote unit will turn the POWERMATIC PM1900 on and off from virtually anywhere (line of sight) in most shops, saving untold numbers of steps and time. Eliminating those trips back and forth between a machine and dust collector can increase safety in the shop as well. The infrared remote (1Ph version only) can save untold steps back and forth to the DC1900. It also has a timer function that allows programming in up to 99 minutes of run time before the DC1900 shuts off automatically. Our remote control also has a timer function that allows ...
