NILFISK ATTIX 40
TYPE 22 INDUSTRIAL
VACUUM
A compact professional safety vacuum designed for the controlled collection of hazardous and combustible dust in appropriately classified ATEX Zone 22 working environments.
Built For Hazardous & Combustible Dust
The Nilfisk ATTIX 40 Type 22 combines M-Class hazardous-dust filtration with a machine designed for use in appropriately classified ATEX Zone 22 environments. Its compact dimensions make it particularly useful for professional cleaning around production equipment, machinery and dust-generating processes.
M-Class Filtration
A washable PET fleece M-Class filter provides controlled collection of appropriate hazardous dust with a minimum filtration efficiency of 99.9%.
ATEX Zone 22
Designed for professional cleaning where the working location has been appropriately classified for Zone 22 combustible-dust risk.
Airflow Monitoring
The built-in FlowSensor and acoustic warning help the operator monitor suction airflow during professional use.
Brushless EC Motor
A brushless EC motor provides durable professional operation while removing conventional carbon motor brushes from the design.
Stainless-Steel Container
Robust professional construction includes a high-quality stainless-steel collection container.
Type 22 Accessories
The complete vacuum system should use accessories appropriate to the Type 22 application, including conductive hoses and tools.
Controlled Dust Collection Around Production Equipment
Fine combustible dust can accumulate around machinery, process lines and production equipment. Where the area has been classified as ATEX Zone 22, vacuum cleaning equipment must be appropriate for that environment.
The ATTIX 40 Type 22 provides a compact mobile solution for professional housekeeping and dust collection where its technical classification is appropriate to the site’s assessed risk.
Flour Dust Requires More Than A Broom
Flour dust presents an occupational health risk and, under certain conditions, can also create a combustible dust hazard. Dry sweeping can disturb settled flour and release dust back into the breathing zone rather than capturing it.
Where a bakery or food-production area has been classified as ATEX Zone 22, cleaning equipment must be suitable for that classified environment. The ATTIX 40 Type 22 combines Zone 22 suitability with M-Class hazardous-dust filtration in a compact professional machine.
The presence of flour alone does not automatically classify an entire bakery as an explosive atmosphere. The site’s DSEAR risk assessment and hazardous-area classification should determine whether ATEX-rated equipment is required in a particular location.
Dust Control Across Food Production
The same principles extend beyond bread production. Flour, cereals, starch, sugar and other powdered ingredients can require carefully controlled housekeeping and industrial vacuum systems selected for the particular material and working environment.
Food Production Cleaning
Professional vacuum systems allow dust and dry product to be captured rather than redistributed through manual sweeping. Equipment selection depends on the dust, quantity, process and hazardous-area classification.
Industrial Food Manufacturing
Larger food manufacturers may have several different cleaning requirements across the same site, including ordinary production areas and separately classified hazardous locations.
Does Your Site Actually Require A Type 22 Vacuum?
Combustible dust can create an explosion risk, but the presence of flour or another combustible powder does not automatically mean that every room or production area is classified as ATEX Zone 22.
The hazardous-area classification should come from the site’s risk assessment and DSEAR process. Once the area classification and the material being collected are known, the correct vacuum and accessory configuration can be selected for the application.
Send R&S the hazardous-area classification together with details of the dust or material being collected and how the vacuum will be used.
We can then help you identify an appropriate Nilfisk industrial vacuum and suitable conductive accessories for the application.

Use The Correct Conductive Accessories
For Type 22 applications the vacuum cleaner is only one part of the complete cleaning system. Hoses, tubes, floor tools and other accessories should be appropriate to the intended application and machine specification.
Conductive Hose
Use a hose intended for the relevant Type 22 application rather than substituting a conventional non-conductive vacuum hose.
Conductive Floor Tools
Floor and cleaning tools should form part of the correctly specified conductive accessory system.
Correct Filters
Replacement filtration should meet the manufacturer’s stated requirements for the particular machine and dust classification.
Correct Disposal
Collected hazardous material should be handled and disposed of in accordance with the site’s procedures and the substance involved.
