Beware of explosive dust

Diseases are not the only danger. It is well-known that cotton or paper can burn

but also other materials, such as flour or even metals can ignite! Many types

of dust which are potentially explosive are classified as an ATEX (ATmosphere

EXplosive) Type 22 application and Type 22 equipment must meet additional

and very special requirements.

The presence of oxygen and an ignition source with sufficient energy and an

flammable substance (gaseous, liquid or solid) are factors which can provoke an

explosion. The finer the dust, the higher the risk for an explosion!

Nilfisk-ALTO safety vacuum cleaners pick up the dust, and separate them from

the surrounding air. Up to 99.995% is filtered out and isolated in the container.

Asbestos dusts are only

permitted to be picked

up with vacuum cleaners

conforming to dust class H.

In Germany they furthermore have

to meet the additional requirements

for asbestos.

These vacuum cleaners

are approved to pick up

explosive dusts as well

as dusts from dust classes L and

M. These include hardwood dust,

all non-carcinogenic dusts with

OEL values > 0.1 mg/m

and/or

inflammable dusts in ATEX Zone 22

applications.

The ATEX directive:

ATEX is a directive of the EC (94/9/EC, in

force since 1 July, 2003) and it establishes

the protection criteria that a manufacturer

must meet to produce equipment for Type 22

applications, as well as standards for users of

machines in Type 22 environments. All products

that are designated to be used in explosive

areas are affected by the ATEX directive.

Our B1 safety vacuum systems have been tested in

accordance with the appropriate standards for ATEX

Zone 22 or Zone 2.

ONLY Type 22 accessories must be used to ensure

continued conformity to the standards.

The ATEX directive & accessories:

For safety vacuum cleaners tested to

application category Type 22 (BIA B1) the

law requires that only approved special

conductive accessories that are unique to the

machine are used. (Special Type 22 accessories

can be found in this catalogue on page 63 or at

www.nilfisk-alto.com).
