Tiger-Vac CD/EUR-36L EX DT (MFS) HEPA 1/2GD
ATEX/IECEx Zone 1/21 vacuum cleaner with integrated HEPA filtration and 36 L recovery capacity
The Tiger-Vac CD/EUR-36L EX DT (MFS) HEPA is a fully third-party ATEX/IECEx certified industrial vacuum cleaner designed for the safe recovery of combustible, explosive and conductive dusts in Zone 1 and Zone 21 environments. Internally, the system is certified for Zone 0/20 (Ga/Da), providing maximum protection when handling combustible dust inside the filter chamber and recovery tank. Built entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel and equipped with an integrated upstream HEPA H14 filter as standard, the unit is ideal for pharmaceutical production, cleanrooms, chemical industries, metal powders and additive manufacturing.
- External classification: II 1/2GD – approved for Zone 1 (gas) and Zone 21 (dust).
- Internal classification: Zone 0/20 (Ga/Da) – certified ignition protection inside the vacuum.
- Certificates: IECEx LCI 10.0040X and ATEX LCIE 03 ATEX 6295 X (Notified Body 0081).
- Filtration: HEPA H14 upstream (99.995%) included; downstream HEPA and ULPA U15 available.
- Main filter: SD* PTFE star-shaped primary filter cleaned with the Manual Filter Shaker (MFS).
- Construction: AISI 304 stainless steel, ESD-safe design, resistivity < 10 Ω.
- Motor options: Single-phase 230 V (1.5 kW) or three-phase 400 V (2.2 kW), both TEFC EX-protected.
- Dust collection: 36 L detachable DT tank with optional conductive poly liner.
- Sound level: 75 dB(A).
Technical design and filtration
The CD/EUR-36L EX DT (MFS) HEPA combines maximum safety and efficient dust recovery in ATEX environments. The integrated upstream HEPA H14 filter is tested according to EN 1822 and IEST-RP-CC001 (MPPS). The PTFE star-shaped main filter provides a large surface area of 8,584 cm² and is cleaned manually using the MFS system without compressed air. ULPA U15 filtration is available for applications requiring ISO Class 4 cleanroom compatibility.
Safety and certification
- IECEx marking: Ex db h IIB T4 Gb (external) / Ex h IIC T6 Ga (internal)
- ATEX marking: II 1/2GD – external Zone 1/21, internal Zone 0/20
- Temperature class: T135°C (external), T50°C (internal)
- Complies with EN 17348 for dry combustible dust recovery
- Designed for conductive dust (≤10 Ω) with EX tools and static dissipative hoses
- Delivered with a complete static dissipative Ø38 mm tool kit
Technical note
The internal Zone 0/20 certification is crucial for combustible and conductive dust applications, as it eliminates potential ignition sources within the vacuum cleaner through the Ex h protection principles. The system is tested as a complete unit by NB 0081. When recovering metal powders, pyrotechnic dusts or other highly conductive materials, EX-approved tools and grounded static-dissipative hoses must be used as part of a properly bonded grounding system.

FAQ
What is the difference between the 36 L and 25 L models?
The 36 L model offers a larger tank, integrated upstream HEPA as standard and includes a complete static-dissipative tool kit.
Can it be used for metal powders?
Yes — when used with EX-approved tools and antistatic hoses (included as standard).
Which filters are included?
Upstream HEPA H14 is included. Downstream HEPA and ULPA U15 are optional.
How is the main filter cleaned?
Via the Manual Filter Shaker (MFS), which dislodges dust from the PTFE star filter without compressed air.
