Overview

Explosion Proof, AIR-OPERATED

Industrial Vacuums for Hazardous Materials

Explosion Proof/Dust Ignition Proof Compressed Air-Operated Pneumatic Industrial Vacuums

 II 2 GD c IIC T6 (85oC)

Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D T6 and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, G Hazardous Locations as defined in the National Electric Code (NEC) and NFPA 70

Certified EPL Db and EPL Gb (Equipment Protection Level)

PrestiVac explosion proof/dust ignition proof vacuums are specifically designed to safely vacuum explosive, combustible liquids and dusts. Our explosion proof/dust ignition proof vacuums are completely grounded and static dissipating because they are built entirely with non-sparking metals and do not have any painted components so there is no risk of fire or explosion from a spark or static build up. Compressed Air-Operated Vacuums do not have any electrical components that can overheat and be a source of ignition. Our explosion proof/dust ignition proof vacuums comply with NFPA 484 guidelines and are an effective tool for good housekeeping practise as per OSHA.

Features:

  • Powerful Suction - High Performance
  • Static dissipating ESD safe
  • All Stainless steel construction makes it a solid unit that is easy to clean and sterilize
  • Automatic Filter Shaker
  • Complete with static dissipating suction hose and accessories
  • Automatic suction shut off system when the collection tank is full of liquids (for Wet & Dry models)
  • Stainless steel Drain valve assembly for easy emptying (for Wet & Dry models)
  • RCT Removable Collection Tank system makes it easy to empty and clean
  • Stainless steel storage bin for hose and accessories
  • Quiet operation with only 72 dB

Filtration System :

  • Conductive ESD safe filters
  • HEPAPlus* Filtration with an efficiency of 99.995% @ 0.2 micron. Testing Method: IEST RP-CC034.3. H14. MIL-STD 282 / A.S.T.M. - D2986-91. MPPS method EN 1822.
