American Ecotech - Model HiVol 3000 -PUF High Volume Puf Sampler
The HiVol 3000 PUF Sampler provides a flexible platform for sampling organic compounds and monitoring basic meteorological parameters. The PUF utilises poly-urethane foam (PUF) to collect particulate matter and store it in a sterile environment for later analysis.
The HiVol 3000 PUF unit is a reliable, durable and proven sampler using volumetric flow control to maintain consistent flow and collect a truly representative sample of particulate matter.
Optional attachments allow the sampler to measure wind speed and direction which can then be used to trigger sector selectable sampling (e.g. fence-line monitoring).
The HiVol 3000 PUF incorporates advanced programming functions and electronic volumetric flow control to maintain a consistent flow and collect a truly representative sample.
- Volumetric flow control automatically corrected to standard reference temperature.
- Industrial brushless motor (100 000 hours continuous field operation).
