Heubach DUSTMETER GmbH

Small particles that fly through the air, known as airborne dust, can pose a serious threat to human and animal life. Many industrial processes create and release such particles in an uncontrolled manner, and research is gaining increasingly alarming information about the consequences of harmful particles being inhaled, due to their potential to cause occupational diseases such as lung cancer, baker’s asthma and other respiratory illnesses. The Heubach Dustmeters offer solutions to measure the dustiness of powders, granules, seeds and pellets, allowing to quantify and control dust release properties and improve on material characteristics. Our Dustmeters have the ability to simulate different handling scenarios such as filling/emptying, transport, bagging, mixing & processing by using different measuring methods, like the rotating drum, continuous drop method, and the Type III active agitation method.
