Some industries need to vacuum up chips from machine tools, sawdust, liquid with particular compositions which will impose a specific motor size and tank material (stainless steel, epoxy steel, Numatic structofoam...).
Which vacuum cleaner is best for which materials need to be vacuumed?
Before selecting an industrial vacuum cleaner, you must first define the types of materials you will need to vacuum . Vacuum cleaners are designed to meet a variety of needs, including:
Fine dust: Ideal for environments where dust is omnipresent, such as carpentry or construction workshops.
Liquids: For areas where spills may occur, such as food processing plants.
Solid debris: Metal shavings, rubble, etc., requiring increased suction power.

Which vacuum cleaner should I choose for an ATEX type 22 zone?
These Class M vacuum cleaners are suitable for use in ATEX Type 22 zones, where the risk of explosion is minimal but must still be considered. These devices have been designed with a large storage capacity for specific dusts, featuring stainless steel tanks, for use in hazardous environments.
ATEX standards in detail
Some devices are classified as ATEX. ATEX (Explosive Atmospheres) regulations are based on two European directives, 99/92/EC and 94/9/EC, which have been mandatory in all member states of the European Union since July 1, 2003. All manufacturers, distributors, and users of devices operating in potentially explosive atmospheres must comply with the safety and health requirements of these ATEX Directives . An explosive atmosphere is defined as a mixture of air and flammable substances in the form of gases, vapors, mists, or dusts, in which, after ignition, combustion spreads throughout the entire unburned mixture.
Examples of dust: metallic dust, flour…
The devices must bear the standardized ATEX marking.
