POWERMATIC PM1300 Dust Collector
The POWERMATIC PM1300 is designed to bring substantial
The POWERMATIC PM1300 is shipped as a bare machine without a filter element or catch bags allowing the buyer to “design” the system they want. The fabric filter and catch bag set as well as the pleated canister filter with 5 plastic catch bags are sold as individual kits. This allows the purchaser to save money by getting the POWERMATIC PM1300 with the filter style wanted without
paying for and then discarding an unused “standard” filter and bag set.
Filtering Efficiency
The bag filter element is 20” in diameter and 48” in length. An upright hook is included to support the bag when the POWERMATIC PM1300 is not running. A spring steel band clamp secures the filter bag to the collector housing. The fabric collector bag has a spring retaining ring sewn into its upper edge that fits into a groove in the collector housing making its installation and removal tool free. Many manufacturers use an outside band for securing the collection bag
that can be very difficult to work with, especially when done alone.
To help maintain the filtering efficiency a pair of hands (left) wipe across the inside of the pleated canister element to knock off excess buildup. The hands are operated by a simple turn of the exterior handle (right). Giving the handle a single turn once per month is adequate in most situations.
The bag type element filters out 96% of 30 micron particles.
The canister filter is 20” in diameter and 29” long. The canister mounts directly to the collector housing and seals with a factory installed foam gasket within the canister flange. Four
