Why do I need ATEX Vacuums?

According to UK regulations, hazardous dust ATEX vacuum cleaners are required wherever dust, flammable chemicals, hydrocarbons, or paint spray can potentially cause an explosive atmosphere. Ensuring you use the correct explosion-proof vacuum cleaners in a specified zone is vitally important, and this is part of the Health & Safety At Work regulations that should never be ignored.

What does ATEX Stand for?

“ATEX”, an abbreviation for “ATmospheres EXplosible”, is a set of directives that are implied to mark up the security and safety of products, equipment, lighting, cameras, walkie-talkies and power tools to be used by operators in potentially explosive environments. With the risk from fine dust, an explosion proof vaccum becomes a must in many circumstances. 

What Vacuum Cleaners can Crescent Provide?

Explosion-proof vacuum cleaners are a reliable cleaning solution for potentially explosive dust areas in manufacturing plants, such as starch, flour, textiles, sugar, cereals, wood dust, plastics, metal dust, paint spray, petroleum compounds or fine coal dust. You can seen one example our our industrial vacuum cleaners on the video below.

If there is a build-up to a sufficient concentration of these substances when mixed with oxygen in the air, plus any ignition source, this can cause an explosion.

 

Using correct apparatus like the Huuvan EX industrial vacuum cleaner shown in the above video will ensure the workforce is kept away from harm such as a fire or explosion.
