DMT has long-standing expertise in the testing of aerosol filters for use in commercial kitchens. Its test laboratory for the aerosol filtration tests is accredited by DAkkS according to DIN 18869 sheet 5 (D-PL 11035-01 -00), and is hence the first laboratory in Germany to fully meet the norm requirements for DIN 18869 accreditation.

Thanks to the appropriate test rigs, we can also perform flame resistance testing in line with the American standard UL 1046 or the British Standard LPS 1263. Additionally, DMT can determine the fractional collection efficiency of aerosol filters according to Directive VDI 2052-1. Parallel to this, the pressure loss of the filter as well as the increase in differential pressure caused by a build-up of grease can be ascertained.
