Manufacturers of filter media and respiratory masks are increasing their production capacities to the maximum. However, reliable protection is only offered by masks that have undergone special tests during production. To support manufacturers, Palas has introduced the newly developed&nbsp;PMFT&nbsp;1000 respiratory mask filter test rig, which enables both quality assurance in production and product improvement in the development department.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special advantage of the&nbsp;PMFT&nbsp;1000 from Palas compared to other filter test rigs is the exact representation of the separation per size class of the particles \u201cEspecially regarding the effectiveness of the breathing masks for the corona virus, which is only 120 nm \u2013 160 nm small, such an exact measurement of the particle size distribution is essential\u201d, says Dr. Maximilian Wei\u00df,&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;of Palas GmbH. Test rigs of other manufacturers often only measure the efficiency values at a predefined particle size of e.g. 200 nm and thus cannot check the effectiveness of the masks against this virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith our newly developed test rig, we additionally respond to the needs of our customers who can use our products for their research and development in the long term even after the reduction of production capacities\u201d, says the Managing Director Sales of Palas GmbH Dr. Daniel Auer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;PMFT&nbsp;1000 is produced at the headquarters of Palas GmbH in Karlsruhe with an individual adapter for the exact fitting of the respiratory mask. \u201cDespite this very complex customer-specific production method, we ensure the short-term availability of the test rigs by prefabrication of the high-quality components and flexible production processes, because our customers need these test rigs as soon as possible\u201d, explains Markus Herrmann, production manager of the Palas GmbH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Palas GmbH:<\/strong><br>Palas GmbH (www.palas.de) is a leading developer and manufacturer of high-precision instruments for the generation, measurement and characterization of particles in air.
