Dust monitoring and awareness in mining are crucial for the health and safety of workers. Safety technologies designed for these environments must be able to withstand harsh and hazardous conditions and effectively safeguard against potential risks. UK-based Trolex has developed a collection of dust monitors, including robust fixed units and portable, wearable units, which address various dust monitoring needs. These leading-edge technologies are available to the American mining markets through Strata Worldwide.
The AIR XD is a total area dust monitor, designed to operate effectively in both environments with low dust volume and those with heavy dust loads in complex mixtures. The AIR XD provides accurate, reliable, real-time dust monitoring that scans for threats in all working environments. It simultaneously monitors every dust particle from 0.35 to 40 µm, continuously and in real time.
The AIR XS Silica Monitor delivers highly accurate, continuous, real-time silica detection and provides valuable data needed to protect the workforce. The AIR XS is designed to detect all forms of crystalline silica, while also tracking changing levels of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) in complex dust mixtures over time.
The XD1 Personal Dust Monitor is a compact, wearable unit that continuously monitors the dust concentration in the immediate working environment. It provides real-time alerts for fully customizable STEL and TWA measurements for dust sizes of PM1, PM2.5, PM4.25 and PM10.
Backend Software: Trolex’s monitors stream data to dedicated software that provides fast access to live and historical data, making storing, accessing, and evaluating data quick and easy.
