SAG 421 Dust Generator
The SAG 421 is a generator designed to produce solid aerosols from powders and dusts.
The dust generator features a wide dosing range and can be flexibly used with various material systems for different applications.
The generator is particularly suitable for efficiency measurements and loading tests of filters and separators in ac-cordance with ISO 5011 and ISO 16890.

The SAG 421 dust generator features a storage hop-per for the dust to be aerosolized. The dust is continuously homogenized in the storage hopper via an agitation mechanism to ensure consistent conditions for solid dosing. Solid dosing is performed via a dosing belt through an opening (height-adjustable slide) in the storage tank. A scraper screw detaches the dust from the dosing belt, and it falls through a hopper into a compressed-air-powered Venturi nozzle, which efficiently disperses the powder stream.
