Industrial Vacuums for Hazardous Materials

Explosion Proof/Dust Ignition Proof Containment 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 Containment Vacuums are specifically designed to safely vacuum potent compounds. The potent compounds are safely collected and contained inside a Disposable Absolute HEPAPlus* Collection Tank with an efficiency of 99.995% on 0.2 micron so there is no risk of exposure or contamination for the operator or the environment.

PrestiVac explosion proof/dust ignition proof vacuums are designed to safely vacuum explosive, combustible conductive* 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 vacuums comply with NFPA 484 guidelines and are an effective tool for good housekeeping practise as per OSHA.

Features:

  • Single Phase Explosion Proof Motor
  • Stainless steel construction makes it a solid unit that is easy to clean and sterilize
  • Automatic Filter Shaker
  • Static dissipating ESD safe
  • 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
