Hi-Vol PUF Air Sampler, Brushless Motor, Mechanical Timer, 110V 60Hz
The TE-1000BL is a high-volume air sampler specifically configured for polyurethane foam (PUF) sampling to collect semi-volatile organic compounds from ambient air. This system is designed to meet EPA Method TO-13A requirements for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other semi-volatile compounds in ambient air monitoring programs.
The PUF sampling module captures both airborne particulate and vapor contaminants, making it ideal for collecting volatile organic compounds and airborne pesticides. The dual sampling system collects airborne particulates onto filter paper media while vapor elements are captured on polyurethane foam in the lower chamber.
Motor and Control System
Features a brushless vacuum motor that delivers smooth operation with reduced maintenance requirements compared to brush-style motors. The manual motor speed controller provides straightforward flow adjustment without the complexity of electronic flow control systems. Operating flow range of 125-250 LPM is maintained through a critical orifice venturi system.
The mechanical timer enables reliable, field-proven sampling schedules without dependence on digital electronics. This timer configuration is ideal for routine monitoring programs requiring simple set-and-run operation.

Configuration Options
The TE-1000 series offers multiple configurations to match specific monitoring requirements. Related models include brush motor versions (TE-1000), 220V 50Hz export models (TE-1000BLX), and digital timer configurations (TE-1000DBL). All models use the same PUF sampling module for consistent sample collection across different power and control configurations.
