Explosion & Dust Ignition Proof Division 1
Explosion Proof, Dust Ignition Proof
Tiger-Vac's extensive range of explosion proof and dust ignition proof industrial vacuum cleaner systems are certified for use in division 1 hazardous locations.
Internationally certified by IEC IECEx for explosive atmospheres, ATEX for explosive atmospheres for Europe, CSA C US, OSHA, and NFPA for the USA. Our vacuum cleaners meet and exceed these standards to provide a legally certified recovery system.
Suitable for flammable liquids and combustible dust.



Applications
Finely Pulverised Dust, Powder, Bulk Debris, Flammable Liquid, Tablets, Food etc.
Industry
Agriculture, Manufacturing, Processing, Pharma, Pyrotechnics, Firing Range, etc.
Customise
Custom built models available. Filtration, tank size, operation to suit customers requirements.
Explosion Proof System
Our explosion proof vacuum cleaners are legally certified by IEC IECEx or ATEX. Designed to prevent ignition of gas and vapour whilst maintaining an operating temperature that will not ignite the surrounding flammable atmosphere.
Dust Ignition Proof System
Our dust ignition-proof systems are legally certified by IEC IECEx or ATEX. Designed to not permit arcs, sparks, or heat otherwise generated inside of the electrical enclosure to cause ignition of exterior accumulations or atmospheric suspensions of specified dust on or near the vacuum system.

How to Choose a Vacuum Cleaner
Step 1: Identify the material to be recovered.
Dry only, wet & dry, vapor, fumes etc.
Step 2: Determine the classification of the location.
Hazardous, explosive, cleanroom, general etc.
Step 3: Single / 3 phase electric or pneumatic operation.
Recovery for disposal, containment or re-use.
Step 4: Portable or machine attachable system.
Step 5: Additional safety features for operator protection.
To work in a hazardous locations where flammable materials are present, Tiger-Vac recommends an explosion proof vacuum system that is Legally Certified.
