Explosion Proof, ELECTRIC

Industrial Vacuums for Hazardous Materials

Explosion Proof/Dust Ignition Proof Electrically Operated Industrial 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 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.
