Tiger-Vac CD-1200 EX PAINTED AUT 1/2GD

ATEX dust collector for process-related extraction in Zone 1 and 21 – with internal Zone 0 / 20 classification

Tiger-Vac CD-1200 EX PAINTED AUT 1/2GD is a mobile ATEX dust collector designed for process-related extraction of airborne and suspended dust in industrial environments with explosive atmospheres. The unit is ATEX classified as II 1/2GD and is intended for use in Zone 1 (gas) and Zone 21 (dust), with an internal classification for Zone 0 (gas) and Zone 20 (dust).

The dust collector operates on the principle of low vacuum and high airflow and is designed for efficient capture of dust directly at the source. With a documented airflow of 2,000 m³/h, the CD-1200 EX can be connected to two Ø150 mm extraction arms or to a single Ø200 mm hose or duct connection.

Applications

CD-1200 EX PAINTED AUT 1/2GD is used for process-related point extraction in environments where ATEX-compliant extraction is required in both gas and dust zones. The automatic filter cleaning system makes this version particularly suitable for continuous or dust-intensive processes where stable airflow is essential.

• Point extraction at open process points in Zone 1 and Zone 21
• Process extraction during filling, dosing and material handling
• Extraction above conveyors and material transfer points
• Recovery of airborne, combustible and conductive dust

Key features

• ATEX classification: II 1/2GD
• External use: Zone 1 (gas) and Zone 21 (dust)
• Internal classification: Zone 0 (gas) and Zone 20 (dust)
• Airflow: 2,000 m³/h
• Automatic filter cleaning – Automatic Reverse Purge (ARP)
• Multi-stage filtration system as standard
• Painted, heavy-duty industrial housing

Standard filtration system

The dust collector is supplied as standard with a multi-stage filtration system designed for safe handling of combustible dust:

• Conductive aluminized spun-bond cartridge filter (12 m² filter area)
• Metal mesh spark trap as a mechanical pre-filter
• Carbon after-filter to improve exhaust air quality

Technical design

The CD-1200 EX PAINTED AUT 1/2GD is equipped with a 3-phase TEFC motor designed for continuous duty. The motor is third-party certified, while the complete machine is ATEX type-examined by a Notified Body (LCIE) and marked in accordance with the ATEX Directive.

Filter cleaning is performed automatically via a reverse purge compressed-air system with an integrated air tank. Collected dust is discharged into a pull-out dust drawer with a capacity of 10 litres.

All wheels and structural components are electrically conductive, and the unit is designed as an ESD-safe system.

Optional equipment

• HEPA filter module for additional downstream filtration
• Extraction arms: 2 × Ø150 mm or 1 × Ø200 mm
• Differential pressure gauge (filter blockage indicator)
• Wall mounting bracket for extraction arms

Safety and certification

• ATEX marking: II 1/2GD
• External protection: Ex db h IIB T4 Gb / Ex h tb IIIC T135°C Db IP65
• Internal protection: Ex h IIC T6 Ga / Ex h IIIC T50°C Da
• Standard: EN 17348:2022 – DT (Combustible Dust Collection)
• EU Type Examination Certificate: LCIE 03 ATEX 6295 X

Technical note

The dust collector is designed for continuous recovery of dry, combustible and conductive dust.
The HEPA filter is not supplied as standard and is available as an option.
The unit is not intended for the extraction of explosive gases.
