Filter Testing
ATM 230 (left) and ATM 220 (right) Aerosol Generator Product quality assurance and safety aspects
require regular testing of high-efficiency filters,
certification of laminar air flow boxes and clean
room measurements in general.
For this purpose a suitable test aerosol needs to be
generated as atmospheric aerosols or ambient air
do not have stable particle size or concentration.
VDI-guideline 3491 suggests using aerosol
generators to produce test aerosols in a definite
manner. Aerosol generators producing highly

Operation Principle
The essential part of the aerosol generators is a
patented atomizer made completely of stainless
steel. It works as a two-stream nozzle based on the
injection principle and is combined with a baffle
