About aDROP
aDROP Feuchtemeßtechnik GmbH, based in Fürth, develops and manufactures devices and system solutions for humidity generation, humidity measurement and related fields of process engineering. The product portfolio includes humidity generators (aGEBOX, aGEPRO, aGE-LOW, aGE-MID, aGE-HIGH, aCCU), direct and spray evaporators (aTHMOS, aTHMOS-RS5, aPULSE, aSTEAM) as well as custom temperature control units, static mixers and measuring/testing benches. The wetted components are predominantly made of stainless steel 316Ti (1.4571) and 316L (1.4404) as well as nickel-plated copper. In addition to standard devices, the company implements customized system solutions including CAD support, design consulting and software development, for example using LabView. The devices are used in research and development, the high-tech industry, humidity metrology and sensor calibration, materials testing, gas analysis and process engineering.
