EXPERIENCE THE most advanced Particulate Filtration Efficiency Analyzer

M19 Particulate Filtration Efficiency Analyzer (PFE-50) for technical textile — AI-based, ultra-high-precision testing. Standards: ASTM F2100, ASTM F2299.

Model: PFE-50 · Industry: Technical Textile

Technology principle

The M19 Particulate Filtration Efficiency Analyzer (PFE-50) measures the particulate capture of textile-based filter media used in masks, respirators, and industrial filtration, using an automated aerosol control system with upstream/downstream particle counting and differential-pressure measurement. Referenced to ASTM F2299 / F2100 and ISO 16890 / 29463, the PFE-50 lets textile manufacturers verify filtration performance and breathability of media and finished masks with traceable results.

Applications

  • Surgical and respirator masks
  • Meltblown filter media
  • Nonwoven filtration textiles
  • Industrial filter fabrics
  • Cabin and HVAC media
  • Reusable-mask media

Key capabilities

  • Lightweight, compact and ergonomically engineered, the M19 Particulate Filtration Efficiency Analyzer (PFE-50) pairs a 15" capacitive touchscreen with enhanced pressure- and flow-control hardware, so operators run a full technical textile test sequence with minimal training and markedly shorter cycle times. Available in aluminum or stainless-steel variants, it ships with real-time remote support, USB connectivity and remote-control automation. Domestic manufacturing in India and the USA keeps maintenance cost and downtime low, and a 2-year extended warranty is available.
  • Modern, low-training user interface
  • Lightweight and portable chassis
  • IP65 rated · GAMP 5 compliant
  • Three secure user levels — Operator, Supervisor and Administrator
  • Versatile connectivity — USB, Ethernet and Wireless LAN
  • Flexible reporting — built-in thermal printer or network / PDF / CSV export

Frequently asked questions

What does the PFE-50 measure for textile filter media?

It quantifies particulate capture and resistance: Particle filtration efficiency (PFE) across sizes Overall and most-penetrating-particle efficiency Differential pressure (breathability) Pass/fail against mask/media specifications

How does it outperform manual efficiency testing?

Automated aerosol delivery and synchronised counting remove operator variability, speed testing and produce standard-ready records.

How does the aerosol control system improve accuracy?

It: Delivers a stable, characterized challenge aerosol Supports mono- and poly-dispersed particles Correlates counts with differential pressure Auto-calibrates for reproducibility

What are the advantages of domestic manufacturing?

Local build delivers: Faster service and local support Reduced lead time and spare-parts availability Lower import cost and easy customisation 2-year warranty with on-site support

Can it integrate into textile QA workflows?

Yes — secure records, connectivity and PDF/CSV export let efficiency data feed media and mask development.

How does it support standards compliance?

Alignment to ASTM F2299 / F2100 and ISO 16890 / 29463 plus tamper-proof records keeps efficiency data audit-ready for certification.
