Predator Black Line (ATEX/ESD)
Product description
Predator Black Line is a flexible, conical nozzle for industrial vacuum cleaning systems, manufactured in oil-resistant NBR rubber. The nozzle is designed for efficient vacuum cleaning in hard-to-reach areas such as crevices, corners and narrow openings where precise, controlled suction is required.
The Black Line version is made from a statically conductive material and is suitable for industrial environments where controlled dissipation of electrostatic charges during vacuum cleaning is required.
What can the product be used for
- Vacuum cleaning of very fine dust or powder from crevices and cavities
- Removal of process dust, light materials and fine particles
- Cleaning in areas with limited access
- Use in ATEX-related environments as part of an overall system
Industries using the product
- General industry
- Process industry
- ATEX-related production environments
Technical note
Predator Black Line is manufactured using NBR rubber compound MM019NN. The electrical properties of the compound are documented through volume resistivity measurements performed by an accredited laboratory (CERISIE) in accordance with ISO 1853:2011.
The measured volume resistivity of the raw material is approximately 1.1 Ω·m, and the electrical resistance is stated within the range of 5–50 kΩ. The reported measurement results refer exclusively to the tested sample.
The manufacturer’s documentation states that identical values cannot necessarily be reproduced under different test conditions, in other laboratories or on finished products.
Progetto Gomma S.r.l. does not issue declarations of conformity with the ATEX Directive (94/9/EC / 2014/34/EU) for accessories for industrial vacuum cleaning systems. Accessories are not ATEX-certified as standalone components.
It is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer to assess suitability, ensure correct equipotential bonding and perform the overall ATEX assessment of the finished equipment in which this product is installed.

FAQ
What does it mean that Predator Black Line is antistatic?
Being antistatic means that the NBR rubber compound MM019NN used in the product has documented electrical properties that allow controlled dissipation of electrostatic charges. These properties are documented through volume resistivity measurements performed in accordance with ISO 1853:2011.
Is Predator Black Line ATEX certified?
No. Nozzles and other accessories are not ATEX-certified as standalone products. Compliance with the ATEX Directive must be assessed as part of the complete equipment.
Which material is used in the product?
The product is manufactured in oil-resistant NBR rubber based on compound MM019NN.
Can the product be used in ATEX zones?
The product may be used as a component in equipment intended for ATEX-classified zones, but only as part of an overall assessment of the complete system.
