Explosion Proof Vacuums

For collecting dust in hazardous environments

No-explosion symbol \ CAPT-AIR

Explosion-Proof Industrial Vacuums

Examples of potentially combustible dust include cereals, flour, starch, sugar, animal feed, light metals, coal, plastics, and textiles. If there is a sufficient concentration of these substances, mixed with air, an ignition source can cause an explosion. Nilfisk vacuum cleaners prevent the triggering of potentially explosive mixtures.

Capt-Air supplies industrial high-performance explosion-proof vacuums in three-phase electric & pneumatic-powered models to clean combustible dust in your facility.

Safe Collection of Combustible Dust

The threat of an explosion in your facility is very real. That is why OSHA recommends, and sometimes requires, manufacturers to use properly-equipped industrial vacuums as part of a regular plant maintenance program to collect hazardous dust. Nilfisk offers a full line of industrial vacuum cleaners to meet NFPA 652 housekeeping requirements for collecting combustible dust in Class I and Class II and non-classified environments.

VHT456 EXP

The VHT456 EXP delivers continuous duty operation for use in Class I (Group D) and Class II (Groups E, F and G) rated work environments.

The VHT456 EXP three phase, continuous duty vacuum is ideal for collecting potentially combustible dusts and can be outfitted for a wide range of industrial applications. Standard equipment includes an antistatic polyester star filter with a 21 sq ft surface area, and can be upgraded to alternative filter media options. An upstream HEPA filter is standard on some models and can be easily added to others to stop fine or harmful dusts from passing through the vacuum. The standard stainless steel filter chamber and container and fully bonded and grounded chassis, combined with compliance to the strict electrical requirements for portable vacuums to be operated in Class II Division 2 environments deliver optimal operator safety. When propery equipped, Group E metal dusts can be safely contained and neutralized. All are equipped with a manometer that indicates when the main filter requires cleaning and the top mounted manual filter shaker lets the operator de-dust the filter without disassembling the machine.

The ATEX versions of these vacuums carry an EXP suffix on the model number and are equipped with the PullClean filter cleaning system and the M class filter, for additional safety. The VHC series is a step ahead in compressed air technology with its basic features of more power and less air consumption.

The VHC110EXP and VHC120EXP vacuum cleaners feature the latest in compressed air technology – our customers are surprised by how little air is needed to produce so much power.
The Nilfisk VHC110 is equipped with an innovative system which provides the same high suction power you expect from Nilfisk but uses 60% less compressed air when compared to traditional compressed air vacuum cleaners. This gives the flexibility to use any compressed air generator, significantly amplifying cost savings.

The Nilfisk VHC120 delivers an even more powerful system, allowing 40%* more suction power, compared to the traditional vacuum cleaners equipped with a Venturi system.

The Nilfisk model VHC200, the largest model in the range, provides a high-performance solution for applications where high vacuum suction and airflow are required in heavy-duty applications.
