Avoid explosions with ATEX vacuums

This is particularly common in industries such as food manufacturing, where there is a lot of combustible dusts in the atmosphere. Hazardous dusts in food industries include materials such as flour, instant coffee, sugar, dried milk, custard powder, potato powder and soup powder. 

Morclean supply an extensive range of ATEX rated vacuum cleaners, specifically designed to handle jobs that are not suitable for standard vacuums, when working with potentially hazardous dust and debris in the prevention of explosions. 

It recently sent a Morclean MAV 2 Air Powered Vacuum to a popular bakery product manufacturers in Oxfordshire. The MAV 2 is a rugged die-cast aluminium, trigger operated, air vacuum gun, which can be used in the removal of almost any debris, including glass, swarf, metal chippings, plastic particles, dust and powder. For fine dust or large volumes of debris the cloth bag can be replaced with a range of different size canisters and filtration systems.

This vacuum cleaner is Category 3 and suitable for use in Gas Zone 2 and Dust Zone 22. Due to its construction and its Anti Static (Conductive) air supply hose, any static build up will be dissipated. However it is the user's responsibility to ensure and maintain a good earth bond at the compressed air connection point.

Our range of ATEX vacuums are are suitable for use in various Gas Zones and Dust Zones (i.e. Gas Zone 2 and Dust Zone 22) to pick up hazardous dust and debris without fear of explosion. The Vacuum cleaners are fully earth bonded and have an Anti-static (conductive) vacuum hose and air supply hose to prevent sparks or shocks.
