Dust and Particulates: Monitoring Solutions for Every Work Environment
Shawcity offers a comprehensive range of air quality and dust sampling monitors from personal aerosol monitors for individual workers and indoor or outdoor workplace monitors right up to environmental monitoring site stations for construction and demolition sites. (Read More)
Personal
The SidePak AM520 and AM520i is the industry’s smallest portable, battery-operated, data logging, light-scattering photometer. It provides immediate access to aerosol contaminant mass concentration readings within a worker’s breathing zone including dust, fumes, mists, smoke and fog.
This monitor is the perfect solution for a variety of workplace environments, including but not limited to general industry, foundries, construction sites, chemical plants, refineries, petrochemical, power and utilities, transportation, aerospace, maritime, confined space and mining.
Traditional gravimetric reference samplers collect a sample on a cartridge over and eight hour period, which then needs to be sent off to a laboratory for analysis. The AM520 gives the user real time measurements and instant data, with audible and visible alarms which allow for quick reaction to any situation, including evacuation of the area, in a way similar to gas monitors.
Newly designed inlet conditioners increase the mass concentration capability and provide size fraction cut points for PM10, Respirable (PM4), PM2.5, PM1, and 0.8µm Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM).
Overall cost of ownership is lower as there are no cartridges or laboratory costs to pay for and with an intrinsically safe model also available the AM520 offers an even wider range of applications.
Workplace
The DustTrak II and DRX handheld models work on the same principle of light-scattering photometry as the AM520 and use a sheath air system to isolate the aerosol in the optics chamber for improved reliability and low maintenance.
It measures PM1, PM2.5, Respirable or PM10 size fractions and is ideal for walk-through monitoring of clean office settings as well as harsher industrial workplaces, construction and remediaton sites and other outdoor environments.
The DustTrak II and DRX desktop range offers the same technology and capability (pictured left) as the handheld models and is ideal for industrial hygiene surveys, indoor air quality investigations, emissions, aerosol research studies and outdoor environmental and remote monitoring.
Only the DustTrak™ DRX Aerosol Monitor 8534 and 8533 can simultaneously measure both mass and size fraction - no other monitors can do both.
Environmental
Shawcity also offers a purpose-built solution for real time environmental monitoring with the DustTrak Environmental Aerosol Monitor, available in three models depending on application requirements: EDTPM2.5, EDTPM10 and EDTDRX.
Its robust, weather-proof design is perfect for long-term runtime studies with a need to monitor fugitive emissions, site perimeters and fence lines, construction and remediation sites, mining, hazardous waste and dust control. It will withstand extreme outdoor temperatures and works with a cloud-based management system which allows for remote real-time data access and monitoring.
