Explosion Proof, MERCURY, Mercury, EXPLOSION PROOF DIVISION 1 (ELECTRIC)

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 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. HEPAPlus* 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.
