High dust levels pose risks to both health and safety.
Implementing a dust monitoring system can improve dust levels, catch unwanted dust events, increase the health and safety of employees, and help prevent a dust explosion.
To combat these issues, Arnco Safety has partnered with Sintrol to offer the DumoPro Ambient Air Dust Monitor, an advanced dust monitoring system designed to keep your environment safe and compliant with OSHA regulations. Let’s explore the features, benefits, applications, and industries supported by the DumoPro dust monitor.
Arnco Safety President, Albert Middeke, breaks down the basics of the DumoPro’s capabilities and how the DumoPro helps prevent potential hazards due to dust accumulation in active industrial environments.

How Does the DumPro Work?
The DumoPro dust monitor is a continuous, ambient air dust monitor that provides visibility to dust levels in real time. Utilizing Sintrol’s proven measuring technology, the DumoPro offers 24/7 trend monitoring in key areas of your business, detecting and alarming of dust events.
“It is always better to address an unexpected dust event as soon as possible” -Albert Middeke
The Dumo Pro works by pulling material through the device, and the material interacts with a stainless steel probe in a process called inductive electrification. It sends an electrical signal to the computer system notifying the level of ambient dust.
Set up is easy with a quick auto setup feature that measures dust levels during normal acceptable working environments and then sets alert and alarm levels. Default settings trigger an alert when dust reaches five times the normal baseline. If it reaches twenty times the baseline normal level it will send an alarm, indicating to the user that there is a dust event. All settings can be easily modified by the end user.
Let’s look at some specific benefits of DumoPro.
