Tiger-Vac CD-230V EX CFB HEPA 1/2GD
IECEx and ATEX Zone 1/21 vacuum cleaner for combustible and conductive dust
The Tiger-Vac CD-230V EX CFB HEPA is an IECEx and ATEX 3rd party certified industrial vacuum cleaner designed for the safe recovery of combustible, explosive, and conductive dust in Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22. With an internal Zone 20 rating (Da) and external Zone 1/21 (Gb/Db), the system is approved for the safe collection of both combustible and conductive dust, including metal powders and low-resistivity materials. The static dissipative Conductive Filter Bag (CFB) system combined with H14 HEPA final filtration ensures maximum process and operator safety in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and metal processing environments.
- ATEX and IECEx certified by notified body LCIE (0081) – full 3rd party verification.
- Conductive Filter Bag (CFB) system for safe recovery of combustible and conductive dusts.
- H14 HEPA filter (99.995% @ 0.3 μm) tested by the MPPS method (EN 1822 / IEST) – included.
- Continuous duty TEFC motor, 1.5 kW, 212 m³/h airflow and 2,540 mm H₂O vacuum.
- 50 L stainless steel recovery tank (AISI 304) and complete static dissipative tool kit.
Technical construction
The CD-230V EX CFB HEPA is built in stainless steel (AISI 304) and mounted on a heavy-duty carriage base with an IP65-rated motor enclosure. The static dissipative CFB filter system ensures very low electrical resistance (<10 ohms) and controlled discharge of electrostatic energy. A steel-framed H14 HEPA filter (99.995% efficiency) acts as the final filtration stage. The system is delivered with an ESD-safe crushproof hose, conductive tool kit, and multimeter for resistance verification.
Certification and safety
- ATEX marking: II 1/2GD.
- External: Ex db h IIB T4 Gb / Ex h tb IIIC T135°C Db IP65.
- Internal: Ex h IIC T6 Ga / Ex h IIIC T50°C Da.
- Certified by LCIE (0081) according to EN 17348 (DT – Combustible Dust Collection).
- Approved for the safe recovery of combustible and conductive dusts (conductive dust).
- Explosion-proof, dust ignition proof and fully ESD-safe components.
Technical note
This model is one of the few compact industrial vacuum systems on the market with full ATEX and IECEx 3rd party certification for gas and dust hazards (Zones 1/21 + 2/22) combined with internal Zone 20 approval. The Conductive Filter Bag (CFB) system and the H14 HEPA filter make it suitable for conductive dusts such as metal powders (aluminium, titanium, magnesium), as well as fine combustible dust in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical production. When used with proper grounding and static dissipative accessories (including the supplied multimeter), the system ensures compliance with EN 17348, EN 60079 series, and IECEx LCI 10.0040X.

FAQ
What does ATEX II 1/2GD mean?
It means the vacuum is certified for internal Zone 20 (Da) and external Zones 1/21 (Gb/Db), suitable for both gas and dust hazardous atmospheres.
What is a Conductive Filter Bag (CFB)?
The CFB is made of conductive material with very low electrical resistance. It ensures safe recovery of combustible and conductive dust without static buildup.
Can this vacuum handle conductive metal dust?
Yes. It is certified for conductive dust recovery (e.g. aluminium, titanium, steel). The system includes conductive filters, H14 HEPA, and ESD-safe tools.
Is this model tested by a notified body?
Yes. Certification is performed by LCIE (0081), providing full 3rd party verification of ATEX and IECEx compliance.
Can I use standard hoses or tools?
No. Only static dissipative or conductive accessories may be used in Zone 1/21 installations.
