Blowing Sand and Dust Test Chamber

IP5X/5KX & IP6X/6KX Dust Proof Test Chamber China Manufacturer & Supplier

Blowing Sand and Dust Test Chamber is intended to perform IP5X(IP5KX) and IP6X(IP6KX) dustproof testing. It enables the specimen to be exposed to a harshly simulated dust environment with the assistance of vertical circulation airflow. After exposure for a specified time, the sample equipment’s performance in resisting the penetration of dust particles is determined.

This dust chamber is an essential member of the Ingress Protection Test Equipment family, which is suitable for dustproof testing of automobile parts, seal assemblies, electric instruments, gas meters, outdoor lamps, etc.

Our dust chamber features a closed cabinet to accommodate specimens. You are allowed to customize its size to fit your products. The chamber’s inner wall is made of mirror stainless steel to reduce dust adhesion. During the test, the talcum powder continuously falls and lingers around the specimen to exert influence on it. The bottom of the cabinet is a funnel to facilitate collecting the falling powder. We equip the machine with a circulation blower to continuously pump the collected powder to the chamber’s top for redistribution and circulation through a separate pipe, maintaining the powder in suspension inside the chamber.

There is a vibrator attached to the inner side of the funnel body to produce vibration so as to prevent powder agglomeration and accelerate the falling powder to the collection port at the bottom of the funnel. To further avoid dust caking due to excessive humidity, we have installed a heater to warm the dust across the test. A piece of tempered glass fitted with a wiper is installed on the chamber door for you to observe the sample state throughout the test.

For some sample enclosures whose normal operation of the equipment causes reductions in air pressure within the enclosure below that of the surrounding air, we will configure a vacuum system to simulate the specimen’s behavior more realistically. The vacuum system contains a pump, valve, air flow meter, dust filter, and manometer. The suction connection is connected to the specimen through a special hole provided for the test. The depressure rate can be adjusted to draw the air volume 80 times the volume of the specimen enclosure into the enclosure but without exceeding the extraction rate of 60 volumes per hour. The allowable maximum depressure is 2 kPa.

With the aid of the PLC module, all operations and controls on the dust blower, vibrator, test duration, etc., are controllable and intelligent. It only requires you to select and input necessary parameters through a 7″ touch screen. You can feel free to set the dust-blowing duration and interval time. The set values and real-time values are displayed on the screen. The machine will run automatically according to the set program. When the test is over, the machine will automatically stop and alarm to remind you.

Difference Between IP5X and IP6X

The test methods and test equipment required for IP5X and IP6X testing are the same. The difference between them is their test requirements.
IP5X testing allows ingress of dust to exist, but dust shall not penetrate in a quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment or impair safety. IP6X testing does not allow any ingress of dust to occur.
