SAG 440 ASHRAE Dust Disperser
Belt-dosing solid-aerosol generator developed for reproducible dispersion of ASHRAE 52.2 test dust and other fibre-containing powders in ventilation-filter loading, separation-efficiency and dust-monitor evaluation workflows.
Model Overview
| Model | Group | Positioning | Core fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAG 440 | ASHRAE belt-dosing dust disperser | Feeding belt, dosing wheel and pneumatic dispersing nozzle adapted to fibre-containing ASHRAE test dust | Ventilation-filter dust holding, separation-efficiency testing and dust-sampler or monitor evaluation |
Key Features
Designed for fibre-containing dust
The feeding belt, paddle wheel and dispersing nozzle are adapted to ASHRAE 52.2 dust and comparable powders containing fibres.
Reproducible adjustable dosing
Test-aerosol concentration is controlled through the belt and dosing-wheel speeds over a 4–350 g/h dosing range.
Continuous long-duration operation
The dust supply can be replenished during operation, supporting extended filter-loading and capacity tests.
Optional control and neutralisation
An optional remote-control unit supports manual or computer operation, while the EAN 581 can reduce electrostatic charging.
