Dust Dispersers

Dust Generators SAG 410

General-purpose dry powder disperser that may be used for a variety of  applications in aerosol and powder science, industrial processes and quality assurance tasks. 

The technique for the dispersion of dry dust and powders comprises two steps, the continuous supply of material to the disperser and thedispersal of the material as an aerosol.

Atomizer Aerosol Generator ATM 220, 221

An aerosol generator for producing a test aerosol with defined characteristics especially for qualitative tests of filters for suspended matter (HEPA and ULPA filters), function test at laminar flow boxes and acceptance measurement in clean rooms. 

It produces aerosols with known properties in accordance with the guideline VDI 3491. The generated polydisperse aerosols are mainly in the size range 0.2 to 0.5 µm with a very high permanence of the particle size distribution and a defined and high particle number concentration.

A further range of application for aerosol generators is calibration of measuring devices and visualization of currents. That enables measurements of local velocities and flow profiles of the tracer particles by means of optical methods.

The Atomizers can also be used to disperse PSL reference materials and so to produce monodisperse particles.
