Trolex AirXD Silica Monitor
Trolex AirXD Silica Monitor
The Trolex Air XD Silica Monitor is a fixed, real-time monitoring system that provides continuous measurement of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) in harsh industrial environments. Using advanced Optical Refraction Technology (ORT), it detects and quantifies silica concentrations down to 1 µm particle size, delivering fast, reliable data for worker safety and exposure control.
Designed for dust-heavy industries such as mining, tunnelling, construction, and manufacturing, the Air XD Silica Monitor helps organisations meet compliance standards by providing immediate visibility of airborne silica levels. With no consumables, low maintenance, and full compatibility with Trolex BreatheXS software, it enables continuous, accurate silica monitoring where it matters most.
