Casella Vapex Air Sampling Pumps

Precision for Low-Flow Applications

While many sampling pumps focus on particulates, the Casella VAPex is specialized for the unique requirements of gas and vapor sampling. Many chemical hazards require low flow rates to ensure adequate interaction with the sorbent material in sampling tubes. The VAPex excels here, offering stable, pulsation-free flow control between 20 mL/min and 500 mL/min. This precision helps ensure that breakthrough does not occur and that the sample collected is truly representative of the worker’s exposure to compounds like benzene, toluene, or formaldehyde.

Safety in Volatile Atmospheres

Chemical processing plants, painting operations, and manufacturing facilities often contain potentially explosive atmospheres. The VAPex is intrinsically safe, meaning it is designed to operate safely in environments where flammable gases or dusts may be present. This certification provides peace of mind to safety professionals working in high-risk zones. Its compact and lightweight design ensures it can be worn comfortably near the breathing zone without interfering with the worker's tasks, which is essential for gathering accurate personal exposure data.

Streamlined Data Management

Like its counterpart the Apex2, the VAPex supports Bluetooth connectivity for remote monitoring via the Airwave® app. This capability is particularly valuable when monitoring for toxic gases, as it allows the hygienist to check pump status from a safe distance. The unit records comprehensive run data, including flow stability and any blockages, which can be easily downloaded for reporting. By combining robust safety features with smart technology, the Casella VAPex enables you to conduct thorough chemical risk assessments and supports your ongoing efforts to manage hazardous substance exposure.
