Industrial Vacuums for Hazardous Materials

Explosion Proof/Dust Ignition Proof Electrically Operated Cleanroom Vacuums

Certified Explosion proof/Dust ignition proof industrial vacuum certified Class I, Division 1, Group D and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F and G Hazardous Locations as defined in the National Electric Code (NEC) and NFPA 70

Certified EPL Db and EPL Gb (Equipment Protection Level)

PrestiVac cleanroom vacuums are specifically designed to be used in ISO 4 (Class 10) cleanroom/controlled environments for decontamination control. The stainless steel construction is easy to clean and sterilize. The exhaust air is filtered through a ULPA filtration system with an efficiency of 99.9995% @ 0.12 microns, eliminating the risk of any contamination. Our cleanroom vacuums are also equipped with an Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) / Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter to protect any electronic equipment in the cleanroom.

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.
