AFC 136 Filter Element Production-Control Test System
Automated production-control system for 100% inspection of integral separation efficiency and pressure drop on exhaust filters, HEPA cartridges and other small air-filter elements, with approximately 30-second cycles.
Model Overview
| Model | System role | Primary measurements | Standards / application fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFC 136 | Automated filter-element production-control system | Integral separation efficiency, pressure drop and traceable pass/fail evaluation | GPF/DPF, HEPA cartridges, industrial-vacuum filters and other small elements |
Key Features
High-throughput inspection
Automated supply, analysis and removal enable approximately 30-second test cycles.
24/7 production design
Robust control and safety functions support continuous manufacturing environments.
Configurable acceptance criteria
Efficiency and pressure-drop limits can be set for each product family.
Minimal specimen loading
The measurement concept limits aerosol loading and helps preserve the tested product.
Identification and traceability
Barcode or QR-code integration can link results directly to production databases.
Flexible instrumentation
OPC, CPC and customer-specific aerosol-analysis devices can be selected for the application.
