Casella USA introduces the HazVac unit for emergency managers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Casella HazVac kit for emergency management services

Today's date -- August 1, 2004

Based on the popular Casella ‘APEX’ pump, the HazVac unit is a watertight sampling system for obtaining gases and vapors in hazardous environments with zero contact between the sample and the pump.

Unlike other vacuum samplers, which use external pumps, the Casella HazVac unit offers an internal Apex pump which means it does not come into contact with the vapor or toxin on site. This helps to prevent contamination of the pump, a common problem with other similar systems.

The HazVac unit is set-up for ease of operation with a large single external push button that can be started easily even when wearing gloves. An indicator light on the outside of the casing signals that the system has been correctly turned on. Once activated, the Apex pump will remove air from the hermetically sealed case, drawing a sample into the gas bag. The pump can be set to sample for a set time prior to operation. The sampling case is fully dust, gas and water tight and is constructed from inert resin material enabling the unit to be decontaminated using a shower, a hose line or a physical wipe down.

The operation of the system can be adjusted to suit the required sampling situation with a variable pump flow, variable timer and optional extendable inert PTFE input sample line. The sample is taken into standard ‘Tedlar’ bags (1 off 3Liter bag supplied with each unit). The unit operates via dry cell batteries with no charging requirement to worry about.

Come and visit our booth #600 at the National Safety Council show in New Orleans, LA (Sept 13-15, 2004), and see how the all new Casella HazVac system can  make quick and easy measurements in potentially hazardous situations.
