Aerodyne now offers on-site or off-site dust testing for customers. There are a variety of dust testing options that we offer in order for you to better understand and improve your dust collection process.

Dust Particle Size Distribution
Aerodyne offers particle size distribution testing on your dust. Submit a 5 gram sample of dust (minimum) and our test will show sizes ranging from 0.024 micron to 2800 micron.
*MSDS is required before testing.

GPC Removal Efficiency

Factory Testing- A factory test can be run on the GPC-18 (800 CFM). A dust sample will be measured for size distribution before and after the test. Removal efficiency results will be provided to you. Witnessing the test is available upon request.
Jobsite Testing- Aerodyne offers 2 different jobsite testing options.

Our cyclones are unique in design to address common issues such as problematic dusts and space constraints. Our airlocks are chosen to fit your specific application instead of hastily installing traditional equipment options. We believe that when we see things differently, we can solve problems effectively. That's why so many people turn to us for help in solving their tough dust problems.
