Leak testing in the production of HEPA and ULPA filters is critical in the context of industrial development which has led to a significant increase in demand for these filters. Manual testing, however, is time-consuming and prone to human error.Palas® has the know-how to support filter manufacturers with the LFT 3000, an automated leak test for HEPA/ULPA filters according to ISO 29463-4 and -5.MEGE Filtre, an outstanding filter manufacturer in Izmir, Turkey, has demonstrated the outstanding performance of the LFT 3000 in its production practice.
A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE: Palas® tailor-made solution for MEGE Filtre
A great example of how the LFT 3000 has been successfully implemented can be seen with MEGE Filtre, a leading filter manufacturer based in Izmir, Turkey. As part of their commitment to providing innovative and reliable filtration solutions, MEGE Filtre needed a testing system that could handle various filter sizes while ensuring compliance with ISO 29463-4 and -5 standards.
The LFT 3000 was customized to meet their specific requirements, including testing a range of filter element dimensions (from 305 x 305 mm to 610 x 1,220 mm) and airflow rates between 100 m³/h and 1,200 m³/h. The automatic scanning system allowed MEGE Filtre to detect leaks quickly and accurately, improving their overall production efficiency and ensuring the highest level of quality. This strengthens MEGE Filtre’s position in the market.
LFT 3000：COMPACT AND POWERFUL
The LFT 3000 is an automated leakage testing system designed to meet the stringent requirements of ISO 29463-4 and -5 standards. It performs precise scan tests that not only detect potential leaks but also assess the overall efficiency of filter elements. This combination provides manufacturers with valuable insights into their products’ performance, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
A standout feature of the LFT 3000 is its versatility. It can test a wide range of filiter sizes and accommodate various airflow volumes, offering tailor-made solutions for individual customer needs.
Palas® offers three different airflow systems to choose from:
· 100 – 1200 m3/h
· 300 – 3500 m3/h
· 500 – 5000 m3/h
In addition, it can handle filters up to 1,220 x 1,220 mm and accepts customized requirements for other sizes from the user.
SELF-DIAGNOSTICS FOR MAXIMUM QUALITY ASSURANCE
A key component is the self-diagnostic system. It continuously monitors the performance of individual components, enabling early detection of potential issues. This feature plays a critical role in ensuring the quality and reliability of the entire testing process. Combined with flexible test parameter adjustments and pre-defined test scenarios, the test rig ensures fast and precise testing cycles.
The LFT 3000 offers comprehensive reporting options, automatically generating test reports according to ISO 29463-4 and -5 standards. An automatic pass/fail report ensures that results are evaluated quickly and accurately.
