Zefon Sampling Equipment for Indoor Environmental Monitoring

With over 30 years of experience supplying safety and environmental monitoring devices, Carroll Technologies stocks and distributes Zefon products across the U.S. mining industry. Carroll Technologies president, Allen Haywood, emphasizes the reliability of Zefon’s products: “Zefon is a great company with a product that has been reliably tested and proven. We have been distributing for them for decades, and we are an authorized repair and calibration facility for that product.”

Zefon Pumps for Environmental Monitoring

Pumps are central to the air sampling and analysis process. In environmental monitoring, Zefon offers a range of advanced air sampling pumps suited for various applications, including indoor air quality (IAQ) analysis, personal abatement, and industrial hygiene. Paired with filters or sampling cassettes, Zefon’s pumps are capable of detecting exposure to harmful substances like asbestos, respirable dust, mold spores, silica, beryllium, and hazardous particulates.

Zefon’s latest innovations include the Zefon Bio-Pump Plus, a state-of-the-art, portable, battery-powered IAQ pump designed specifically for use with Air-O-Cell and Via-Cell cassettes. The Bio-Pump Plus is lightweight and user-friendly, featuring programmable sample times and a real-time display. Its long-lasting NiMH battery supports up to eight hours of continuous use or 100 five-minute samples, making it highly efficient for fieldwork. This model also offers quiet operation and provides visual and audible indicators to signal when a sample collection is complete.

For environments that demand higher precision, such as mining or hazardous industrial settings, the Zefon Escort ELF sampling pump is an ideal solution. Built with intrinsic safety features, this pump provides excellent laminar flow control with temperature and pressure compensation, ensuring reliable accuracy in challenging environments, including underground locations.

Diverse Pump Options for Varied Applications

Zefon’s Z-Lite IAQ pump series is another addition to its lineup, designed to handle IAQ sampling with ease. These pumps are capable of operating on both DC and AC power, providing flexibility in the field. Z-Lite pumps are particularly well-suited for applications that require low backpressure sampling devices, such as spore traps. With their versatility, they meet the demanding needs of environmental monitoring and industrial hygiene professionals.

Gas Detection and Additional Services

In addition to its air sampling pumps, Zefon also produces gas detector tubes. These tubes detect the presence of gases by changing color when they react with a specific airborne compound. Zefon’s gas detection technology is a simple, safe, and cost-effective method for identifying flammable or toxic gases, pollutants, and vapors. This rapid detection capability eliminates the need for lab-based analysis, making it invaluable for on-site inspections.

Carroll Technologies supports Zefon customers through its MinerCare 24/7 support service, offering certified repair services for Zefon products, alongside other environmental monitoring devices. This service provides continuous technical support, rapid response to mining emergencies, and an extensive stock of spare parts.
