PrestiVac Mercury Vacuums are specifically designed to safely vacuum mercury spills and other products contaminated with Mercury. The Mersob® Brand Activated Carbon Filtration System adsorbs the harmful, toxic Mercury vapours and fumes generated. HEPA^Plus* absolute filtration at 99.995% @ 0.2 micron captures any contaminated particles. This combined filtration system provides a safe and clean working environment for the operator.

PrestiVac explosion proof/dust ignition proof vacuums are specifically designed to safely vacuum explosive, combustible 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. All the electrical components, including the motor and starter are totally enclosed so there is no 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.
