Key Features

  • Compact and powerful: Handles airflow volumes from 7,000 to 18,000 m³/h with a space-saving footprint of just over 100 square feet
  • Flexible discharge options: Choose from collection bins, briquetting press, or rotary airlock, offering efficient material handling for various woodworking applications
  • Fast and easy installation: Delivered in three pre-assembled modules for quick setup, minimizing downtime
  • Energy efficiency: Standard IE3 motors with optional IE5 upgrades deliver maximum performance with reduced energy consumption
  • Certified safety: Tested explosion resistance and compliance with the highest safety standards
  • Whisper-quiet operation: Runs at just 60 decibels from 50 feet, ensuring low noise levels while maintaining high performance
  • Smart home integration: Optional smart control features allow for real-time system monitoring and performance tracking from any device

Cleaning & Discharge Options for Optimal Performance

Jet Cleaning (Compressed Air Impulse)

The MultiStar C utilizes jet cleaning to maximize dust extraction without halting production. A short burst of compressed air inflates the filter hoses, effectively dislodging dust and maintaining peak airflow. Designed for energy efficiency and compatibility with various dust types, this system ensures long-lasting performance while reducing maintenance demands.

Discharge Options

Rotary Valve (CZ): Seamlessly transports dust and chips to silos or containers. Flame-resistant and certified for safe, high-volume operations.

 

Briquetting Press (CP): Compresses dust into briquettes for easy storage, transport, or reuse as heating material. Ideal for reducing material volume and turning waste into valuable fuel.

 

Collection Bins (CT): Collects dust and chips in 1,050-liter bins for continuous operation. Easy to empty without system downtime, perfect for moderate material volumes.

Available Model:

MultiStar

The MultiStar series is a highly flexible dust collection solution, offering a variety of sizes and configurations. With airflow volumes up to 600,000 m³/h, this system is ideal for woodworking operations requiring reliable dust collection across multiple workstations.

Key Features

  • Airflow: Configurable up to 600,000 m³/h to handle high-volume dust extraction
  • Customizable design: Modular housing sizes and lengths tailored to your workspace
  • Energy-saving motors: Equipped with IE3 motors with optional IE5 for enhanced efficiency
  • Proven safety: Certified explosion resistance and compliance with stringent safety regulations ensure optimal protection in woodworking environments
  • Multiple cleaning options: Choose from jet cleaning, vibration cleaning, or cleaning carts to suit your production needs
  • Whisper-quiet operation: Runs at just 60 decibels from 50 feet, ensuring low noise levels while maintaining high performance
  • Flexible discharge systems: Integrated options for bins, briquetting presses, or rotary valves with transport lines

Cleaning & Discharge Options Optimized for Every Application

Cleaning Options

Low Pressure Scavenging Air (Cleaning Carts): A scavenging air cart blows air into the filter socks, briefly reversing airflow to release dust. This highly efficient method keeps filters clean without halting production.

Jet Cleaning: Compressed air bursts continuously clean the filter socks, ideal for high-demand operations that require constant performance without interruptions.

Vibration Cleaning: A shaker motor dislodges dust during downtime, making this energy-efficient option perfect for intermittent operations.

Discharge Options

Collection Bins: Efficiently discharge dust and chips into easy-to-empty collection bins designed for continuous operation without production halts. Ideal for moderate dust output, ensuring uninterrupted workflow.

BrikStar Briquetting: Compresses dust and chips into dense briquettes for easier storage, transport, or reuse as high-quality heating material. Briquetting reduces material volume, enhances storage efficiency, and turns waste into valuable energy, offering both environmental and cost-saving benefits.

Airlock Rotary Valve: Ensures pressure-free material discharge, adaptable to different operational needs.

Discharges material into easy-to-handle bins or big-bags for simple collection

Offers multiple options for smooth, continuous discharge into silos or containers:

  • Crosswise Range: Compact installations discharge material via gravity through a rotary valve, minimizing maintenance and maximizing space efficiency
  • Lengthwise Range with Chain Conveyor: For larger setups, the drag chain conveyor moves material efficiently over long distances, perfect for silos
  • Stirrer/Sliding Bar: A sliding bar prevents material bridging in low-height installations, discharging via rotary valves or briquetting presses
  • Screw Conveyors: Best for heavy or compacted materials, screw conveyors ensure safe, continuous transport to discharge points, ideal for large operations.
