Why the sparktrap® EPA SafeAssure® Is Replacing Traditional Resistance Meters

Industrial laundry service providers bear a great deal of responsibility: Leading industrial companies rely on their ESD workwear to provide reliable protection after every wash cycle. Whereas resistance meters alone were once used, modern laundry operations today demand more than just numbers: speed, guided processes, and seamless, digital traceability. The sparktrap® EPA SafeAssure® ESD multimeter takes these testing processes to a new level.

The Evolution of Garment Testing: From a Single Measuring Device to a Smart System

For years, traditional high-resistance meters and standard resistance testers were the tools of choice for testing ESD textiles. They served their purpose—but required staff to take readings manually, compare them manually to standard thresholds, and laboriously record the results by hand.

As the industry faces increasing pressure to ensure quality and maintain documentation, traditional measuring instruments are reaching their limits. This is exactly where the sparktrap® EPA SafeAssure® ESD multimeter comes in: it combines all necessary test procedures into a single, guided system and completely replaces previous standalone devices.

Your Benefits in Day-to-Day Laundry and Service Operations

SPARKTRAP® EPA SAFEASSURE®

  • Large Touchscreen & User Guidance: The system guides the operator step by step through the measurement process.
  • Automatic Standard Analysis: No tables or manual conversions: The device compares measurement results directly with the stored ESD standards.
  • Complete traceability for each garment: Measurement results are uniquely assigned to individual textiles. A legally compliant history is created throughout the entire life cycle.
  • Central Measurement Database & Test Reports: After each measurement, a complete report is automatically generated and archived in the central database.
  • All-in-One-System: In addition to clothing inspections, the multimeter also performs resistance, charge, and discharge time measurements throughout the EPA.
  • Reduced calibration effort: Instead of having to calibrate several separate measuring devices, in the future only a single system will need to be calibrated. This saves time and money each year.

Just give it a try: In-person meeting or flexible online meeting
In textile processing in particular, every second per item counts. The best way to see exactly how much time and effort you can save through automated evaluation and documentation is to see it in action. We’d be happy to give you a no-obligation demonstration of the sparktrap® EPA SafeAssure®. We can do this right at your location or flexibly via a short web meeting.
