| The Y- axis shows the Dust concentration in percent, the X-axis shows the measurement time (typically 30 seconds per measurement) while the graph shows the result of three samples with a different amount of Dust: Very dusty (Yellow) | Less Dust (red) | Dust free (green) |
The Dust Analyzer DustMon RD 100 characterizes the dustiness of powders and granulates and is an ideal system to measure the amount and concentration of dust. The analysis method offers a real-time measurement with up to 1000 measurements per second. All results will be stored and can be transferred into other databases such as Excel.
Features
The DustMon RD 100 features two system operating modes:
- Stand alone (no PC control)
- Control via Windows PC
Measures taken to avoid dust formation can be controlled with the DustMon RD 100 (see Screenshot):
- Agglomeration (e.g. tablets, granulates)
- Production of granulates
- Adsorption on liquids
- Addition of dust-reducing agents

Functional Principle
RETSCH’s DustMon RD 100 consists of a dosing control system (sample beaker [1] with a valve and a tube [2], which is easily detachable for cleaning and transportation, a sample collector [3], a light source [4] and a detector [5].
The sample is poured into the sample beaker [1]. On starting the measurement, the valve opens and the sample drops down the tube [2] into the sample collector [3].
The dust generated in the sample collector will be measured by the detector [5] and the resulting dust index will be displayed.
Results:
- Maximum dust concentration in % (0-100 % of complete dust concentration)
- Dust concentration, dust index (maximum and concentration) and dust area available after 30 seconds
