How the Serrax Respirable Dust Sampler APM 560 (DFC) Supports Workplace Air Quality Compliance
In today’s industrial world, where air quality directly impacts health and safety, businesses can’t afford to take chances with dust exposure. The Serrax Respirable Dust Sampler APM 560 (DFC) is more than just an instrument — it’s a crucial partner in helping industries stay compliant with environmental regulations and ensure safer breathing environments for workers.
Why Dust Monitoring Matters in Industrial Settings
Industries like cement, mining, power generation, foundries, and construction constantly battle dust hazards. Inhalable and respirable dust, particularly particles smaller than 10 microns, can penetrate deep into the lungs and pose serious health risks.
Authorities such as CPCB (India), OSHA (USA), and ISO standards have set clear thresholds for ambient air particulate levels. Failing to meet these can lead to hefty penalties, plant shutdowns, or worse — chronic respiratory diseases among employees.
That’s where Serrax's APM 560 (DFC) comes into play.
How the APM 560 Helps You Stay Compliant
1. Automatic Flow Regulation with DFC The APM 560 is equipped with a Digital Flow Controller that maintains a constant airflow (0.8 – 1.4 m³/min). This ensures sampling accuracy even as the dust load increases — making your data reliable for compliance reporting.
2. Cyclone-Based Separation for Respirable Dust Using a scientifically designed cyclone separator, it isolates particles above and below the 10-micron cut-off. This helps you meet PM10 monitoring guidelines — crucial for health-based air quality indices.
3. Programmable & Timed Operation With an integrated programmable timer and digital time totalizer, you can run continuous or scheduled monitoring sessions, making it ideal for CPCB and local regulatory audits.
4. Durable, Outdoor-Ready Design Its powder-coated aluminum housing and brushless heavy-duty blower ensure the system runs reliably for over 28 hours. You can confidently operate it in remote or rugged industrial environments.
