Tiger-Vac CD-595 EX HEPA SS 2GD
ATEX-certified dust collector for process-proximate extraction of airborne dust in Zone 1 and 21
The Tiger-Vac CD-595 EX HEPA SS 2GD is a mobile dust collector developed for process-proximate extraction in industrial environments with high requirements for filtration, containment and explosion protection. The model is typically used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, laboratories and fine chemical production, where the handling of fine and potentially harmful particles requires controlled and documented extraction close to the source.
The dust collector is designed to capture airborne dust and operates on the principle of low pressure and high air flow. This makes it particularly suitable for containing suspended dust at open processes before it spreads into the working environment.
Who uses this dust collector?
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Biotechnology and life science
- Laboratories and pilot plants
- Chemical and fine chemical industry
- OEM manufacturers of process and laboratory equipment
What is it used for?
- Process-proximate point extraction at open process steps
- Filling, dosing and manual handling of powders
- Extraction when opening process equipment
- Process extraction from enclosures and machines via hose connection
- Limiting airborne dust and cross-contamination
The unit can be configured with either a hose connection for direct connection to process equipment or an extraction arm for open point extraction during manual operations.

Filtration, containment and operator safety
The CD-595 EX HEPA SS 2GD is supplied with a HEPA filter as standard. The HEPA filter has a documented filtration efficiency of 99.99% at 0.3 µm and is aerosol leak tested prior to shipment. This verifies system tightness and ensures that fine particles remain fully contained.
The HEPA filter is removed using a Bag-Out system, allowing the filter to be extracted enclosed in a bag. This reduces the risk of operator exposure during filter replacement and supports use in high-containment environments.
Filter condition is monitored via a clearly visible differential pressure gauge (filter blockage indicator), providing direct visual feedback on filter loading and replacement needs.
