Casella Apex2 Air Sampling Pumps

Manufacturing facilities depend on reliable personal air sampling to understand task-based exposure and support occupational hygiene programs. The Casella Apex2 air sampling pump is designed for the realities of industrial manufacturing — tight changeovers, variable tasks, and demanding shifts — while helping teams collect defensible data with less disruption.

Key advantages for industrial manufacturing:

• Stable Flow Performance: Helps maintain target flow across common backpressures found with filter cassettes used for dust and fume sampling.
• Shift-Ready Runtime: Long battery life supports extended sampling periods without frequent swaps, helping reduce interruptions on busy production lines.
• Wireless Connectivity: Mobile app integration enables quick status checks, event logs, and streamlined data download, which can help reduce time spent on documentation.
• Worker-Friendly Design: Compact, lightweight, and quiet to support comfort and acceptance during personal sampling.
• Flexible Methods: Works with common media and sampling heads for particulates and fumes used across welding, cutting, grinding, and finishing operations.

Where Apex2 fits in industrial manufacturing:

• Welding and Fabrication: Personal sampling of metal fumes and by-products during arc welding, cutting, and grinding.
• Assembly and Finishing: Dust and aerosol sampling near sanding, polishing, and spray operations.
• Maintenance and Turnarounds: Exposure assessments for short-duration tasks and nonroutine work.
• Continuous Improvement: Baseline studies before and after engineering changes to quantify impact.

A simpler workflow:

• Pre-Use Checks: Quick setup and flow verification help teams get sampling underway with minimal downtime.
• In-Shift Oversight: Visual indicators and wireless status checks help supervisors verify operation without stopping work.
• Data and Reporting: Electronic logs and app support can help accelerate chain-of-custody documentation and reporting to stakeholders.

Selection considerations:

• Target contaminant and flow rate requirements
• Media type, expected backpressure, and runtime
• Worker comfort and mounting options
• Reporting needs and fleet management preferences

By combining stable flow, long runtime, and connected data tools, the Apex2 helps industrial manufacturing teams execute reliable personal sampling programs that align with plant schedules and production demands. For method guidance, compatible accessories, and kit recommendations, contact our team.
