Air Sampling Pumps

Power generation and mining operations need dependable air sampling to support worker health programs and operational decision-making. Casella Air Sampling Pumps deliver stable performance and durable construction to help teams execute personal, vapor, and area sampling across extraction sites, processing plants, and maintenance areas.

A portfolio for tough environments:

• Personal Sampling (Apex2): Support dust and aerosol exposure assessments for operators, mechanics, and maintenance crews.
• Low-Flow Vapor Sampling (Vapex): Capture solvent vapors associated with cleaning, coating, and fuel-related work using sorbent tube methods.
• High-Flow Area Sampling (Vortex3): Conduct static and perimeter dust studies around crushers, conveyors, ash handling, and shops.

Built for site realities:

• Stable Flow Under Load: Helps maintain set flow despite variable dust loading and media backpressure.
• Rugged Housings: Withstand daily handling, transport, and setup across industrial and mining sites.
• Shift-Ready Runtime: Supports extended sampling periods that align with operational schedules.
• Intuitive Controls: Simplify training and help crews deploy quickly during turnarounds and outages.
• Connectivity Options: App support helps with quick status checks and consolidated data.

Use cases across power and mining:

• Extraction and Handling: Evaluate dust near blasting support, haul roads, and material transfer points.
• Processing and Crushing: Monitor airborne particulates around crushers and mills.
• Plant Operations: Assess dust and aerosols near boilers, ash handling, and maintenance tasks.
• Turnarounds and Outages: Deploy temporary monitoring during high-activity periods.

Program benefits:

• Consistent Data Quality: Stable flow and standardized setup support reproducible results across campaigns.
• Operational Efficiency: Quick calibration and straightforward operation help minimize downtime.
• Scalable Coverage: Build fleets for multi-location sampling and broad site visibility.
• Clear Documentation: Data logs support reporting to internal and external stakeholders.

Selection guidance:

• Target analytes (dusts, metals, vapors) and applicable methods
• Expected backpressure and runtime requirements
• Mounting, transport, and power considerations
• Data capture and workflow needs

With Casella pumps and the right accessories, power generation and mining teams can implement robust air sampling programs that align with site demands, support exposure assessments, and inform control strategies.
