ATEX approved industrial vacuum cleaners

Protect yourself from combustible dust and flammable liquids with field-proven explosion proof vaccums

The Nederman industrial vacuum cleaners includes a wide range of ATEX certified portable vacuum cleaning systems, for use in areas where explosion hazards exist and capturing of combustible dust. 

Our heavy duty ATEX industrial vacuums are supplied with PE or PUR anti-static hoses and are compliant with Gas Group II C (the highest class). The PVC or standard PUR hoses are only compliant with gas Group II B. The ATEX approved products are all made of conductive and antistatic material, to comply with the ATEX directive 94/9/EC, and can be used in explosion hazardous category 2 and 3 areas.

Mandatory ATEX directives

On 1 July 2003, two ATEX directives became mandatory:

The ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, which applies to equipment manufacturers and harmonizes the technical and legal standards to which equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is manufactured.

The ATEX Directive 99/92/EC which applies to endusers and requires a complete, documented analysis to be conducted on sites that may have a potentially explosive atmosphere and that only ATEX certified electrical, mechanical and safety related systems are installed. The ATEX Directive 99/92/EC states that it is the responsibility of the user/employer to assess and classify the working environment as to whether there is a risk of explosive atmospheres, taking into account at least the following: 

  • the likelihood that explosive atmospheres will occur and their persistence
  • the likelihood that ignition sources, including electrostatic discharges, will be present and become active and effective.
  • the installations, substances used, processes and their possible interactions.
  • the scale of the anticipated effects. 
In short, the first step is to determine whether the risk is due to gas or dust, the second step is to determine the classification zone.
