When working in industrial environments where explosive dust is present, safety should always be the top priority. That’s where ATEX-certified vacuum cleaners, such as the ATTIX 40 TYPE 22, come in. Designed for ATEX Zone 22, these specialized machines ensure that hazardous and explosive dust can be safely collected without creating additional risks. Here’s why you should invest in an ATEX vacuum cleaner for your facility.
1. Certified Safety for Explosive Dust
ATEX vacuums are specifically designed and certified for ATEX Zone 22, where potentially explosive dusts (like those found in industries handling wood, chemicals, or pharmaceuticals) pose significant risks. The ATTIX 40 TYPE 22 is equipped with FlowSensor technology, which constantly monitors airflow to ensure it stays above 20 m/s, preventing dangerous dust accumulation. This, coupled with electrically conductive materials and anti-static systems, ensures safe use in these sensitive environments.
2. Compliance with Regulations
Using ATEX-certified equipment helps your business comply with stringent health and safety regulations, such as the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR). Not only does this protect your workforce from dangerous explosions, but it also ensures you’re adhering to legal standards, avoiding potential fines or penalties.
3. Long-Term Durability and Cost Savings
ATEX vacuums, like the ATTIX 40 TYPE 22, feature brushless motors and durable, stainless steel construction, making them long-lasting and reliable. With features such as the Push&Clean filter cleaning system, these machines minimize downtime by allowing for quick filter maintenance, so your workflow stays uninterrupted. The washable PET fleece filters also help reduce ongoing operating costs by extending the life of the filter and maintaining optimal suction performance.
4. Multiple Options for Different Facility Sizes
No two work environments are the same, and that’s why we offer a range of ATEX vacuum cleaners to fit your specific needs. Whether you’re operating in a small workshop or a large-scale industrial facility, we have machines with varying capacities to handle environments of different sizes. For smaller spaces, a mid-sized vacuum like the ATTIX 40 TYPE 22 offers the perfect balance of power and portability, while larger facilities can benefit from other models with increased container volumes and advanced filtration systems.
5. Protect Your Workers and Your Business
Ultimately, the investment in an ATEX-certified vacuum ensures that your workers are protected from potentially harmful dust explosions. These vacuums reduce airborne dust and contamination, creating a safer workspace for everyone. Moreover, they help reduce your liability as an employer, safeguarding your business from accidents and legal ramifications.
