Invisible dangers revealed by air
monitoring system from KEMPER
T
he AirWatch system utilises KEMPER’s sensor technology to
measure and analyse fine dust particles, helping to ensure a safe
environment in production facilities, warehouses and logistics halls.
It is able to determine and document the number of nanoparticles and
compare it to limit values via smartphone, tablet or PC. A traffic light
display visualises the status of air quality.
“With our new air monitoring system AirWatch, we introduce for the
first time a system on the market that is in a position to efficiently measure
the number of fine dust particles,” emphasised Björn Kemper, KEMPER
Managing Director. For this purpose, the highly sensitive sensor technology
is essential as it can capture particles right up to the nano range.
AirWatch continuously monitors the air quality, using a laser-powered
sensor to measure fine dust particles in a radius of up to 30 metres. An
integrated fan draws in ambient air.
It is possible to save individual limit values for hazardous substances,
with the traffic light system clearly highlighting any breach. At the same
time, the system saves the data across a long time period. A trend
display for day, week, month or year also allows companies to analyse
concentration of specific substances in more detail.
AirWatch captures particles in the range of 100 nanometres up to 16
micrometres. This area includes the fine dust categories PM2.5 for
alveolar common dust (A dust) and PM10 for all inhalable dusts (E dust),
as defined by the World Health Organisation. The system automatically
classifies the captured particles accordingly.
In addition to checking air quality, AirWatch also monitors the
effectiveness of ventilation measures. Companies can independently
check their compliance with regulations issued by professional
associations apart from official checks made by professional associations.
Bolt and Go dry bulk compressor
option from Garden Denver
G
ardner Denver Transport Solutions France has developed
its PAM (bolt and go) variant of the successful XK dry
bulk compressor to enable professional installation in the
greatest possible spread of circumstances.
The company’s French division, based in Paris and Lyon, has
continued to capture increased market share with its range of dry
bulk compressors. The development of the PAM versions of the
XK12 and XK18 units has been welcomed by many of the major
hauliers transporting materials from cement to food stuffs and
plastics. This complete package with the market-leading XK machine
has been developed for customers with their own workshop and
installation facilities and for fleet operators that cannot simply
convey their trucks to Gardner Denver’s France installation facility
in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier (Lyon).
The primary reason for designing this package is to allow the
installer, either end-use or
