Casella Vapex Air Sampling Pumps

Volatile organic compounds appear across industrial manufacturing — solvent-based coatings, cleaning agents, adhesives, and specialty chemicals. The Casella Vapex low-flow air sampling pump is designed to help industrial hygienists capture consistent vapor samples with confidence while minimizing impact on production.

Why Vapex fits manufacturing VOC assessments:

• Precise Low-Flow Control: Supports common sorbent tube methods for a range of solvents and VOCs used in paint, adhesive, and cleaning operations.
• Robust Under Backpressure: Designed to help maintain set flow despite changing restrictions during sampling.
• Quiet, Compact, Comfortable: Helps encourage full-shift wear time on tasks that require continuous sampling.
• Simple Setup and Calibration: Speeds deployment during maintenance windows and task-based studies.
• Data Logging and Event Notes: Helps create clear documentation for audits and internal reviews.

Typical manufacturing applications:

• Paint and Coating Lines: Assess exposure near spray booths, touch-up stations, or curing areas.
• Adhesive and Sealant Workstations: Characterize worker exposure during application and cleanup.
• Parts Washing and Degreasing: Evaluate solvent vapor levels during manual operations.
• Maintenance Tasks: Capture short-duration VOC exposures during turnarounds.

Operational benefits for teams:

• Faster Turnaround: Straightforward setup helps crews deploy multiple pumps quickly across a production area.
• Consistency Across Fleets: Standardized workflows and accessories help support repeatable sampling across sites.
• Better Communication: Clear status indicators and logs help supervisors monitor progress without interrupting work.

Selection checklist:

• Target analytes and media selection
• Required flow range and expected backpressure
• Duration of sampling and battery needs
• Data capture and reporting requirements

When integrated into your broader exposure assessment program, Vapex helps round out a complete picture of airborne risks in industrial manufacturing — complementing particulate sampling and area measurements to guide controls, inform training, and support continuous improvement.
