Filter Testers

Optimize production quality with filter testers engineered for industrial manufacturing. TSI systems help manufacturing teams characterize filters and media with speed, repeatability, and data integrity across demanding factory conditions.

What These Systems Do

• Quantify filtration efficiency and penetration across defined particle sizes.
• Measure pressure drop to assess airflow performance and energy impact.
• Execute repeatable, automated test sequences to support shift-to-shift consistency.
• Capture, store, and export results for traceability, audits, and continuous improvement.

Industrial-Ready Capabilities

• Throughput and Uptime: Configurations for high-volume lines with fast changeovers and robust components that support long operating windows.
• Automation and Integration: Barcodes, recipes, and I/O interfaces simplify operator steps and help align tests with work orders and part numbers.
• Flexible Aerosol Options: NaCl, DEHS/PAO, and PSL-based methods support common product families, from HVAC and industrial process filters to HEPA/ULPA units.
• Scalable Measurement: Photometers for total penetration checks and particle counters for fractional efficiency curves help match test depth to your production stage.
• Data and Reporting: Centralized result storage, export to CSV or databases, and configurable pass/fail criteria help standardize QA/QC decisions.

Where They Add Value

• HVAC and Clean Manufacturing: Characterize pressure drop and overall efficiency to help balance energy use and filtration performance.
• Automotive Cabin and Engine Intake: Confirm media and assembled filters meet target filtration bands to support comfort and equipment longevity goals.
• Respiratory and PPE: Support testing workflows for production screening of respirator filters and cartridges.
• Process and Utility Air: Check compressor intake and process filters to help reduce downstream contamination risk in production environments.

Standards Support
TSI filter testing approaches are designed to support commonly referenced methods, including EN 1822, ISO 29463, and related industry practices. Configurable test parameters help teams align internal methods with evolving customer and regulatory expectations.

Operational Benefits

• Consistency: Automated test steps and defined recipes help reduce operator-to-operator variation.
• Efficiency: High-throughput operation and quick fixture swaps support takt time targets.
• Traceability: Time-stamped results, device IDs, and lot tracking enable robust audit trails.
• Total Cost Awareness: Systems are designed for serviceability, with consumables and maintenance plans that support predictable ownership.
