Tiger-Vac EXP1-10 (4W) BASE MODEL 2GD
ATEX Zone 1/21 explosion proof industrial vacuum for combustible and conductive dust
The Tiger-Vac EXP1-10 (4W) BASE MODEL is a third-party ATEX certified (Notify Body 0081) industrial vacuum cleaner designed for the safe recovery of combustible and conductive dusts in Zone 1 and Zone 21 classified atmospheres. The unit is constructed from static dissipative stainless steel (SS304) and supplied with SD filters. Its larger 22.7 L tank and robust design make it suitable for pharmaceutical environments, chemical processing, cleanrooms and applications involving fine or electrically conductive dusts.
- ATEX marking: II 2GD Ex d IIA T3 Gb / Ex t IIIC T200°C Db IP6X.
- Third-party certified by Notify Body 0081 (LCIE 03 ATEX 6297).
- System resistivity below 10 ohms – fully ESD safe.
- All stainless steel AISI 304 construction with SD wheels.
- HEPA H14 and ULPA filtration available as optional upgrades.
- Suitable for pharmaceutical applications and cleanrooms down to ISO Class 4.
Technical construction
The unit is equipped with an explosion proof 230 V single-phase TEFC motor offering stable performance and low noise (78–85 dB(A)). The 22.7 L static dissipative tank provides increased capacity for dry materials, and the vacuum can be upgraded for liquid recovery with an optional kit. HEPA H14 and ULPA filters can be added for sensitive environments requiring high-level particle control. All SD accessories fulfil ESD requirements for proper grounding.
- Airflow: 224 m³/h.
- Vacuum pressure: 1,550 mm H₂O.
- Tank capacity (dry): 22.7 L.
- Liquid capacity (optional): 28.5 L.
- Suction inlet: Ø38 mm.
- 4-wheel SD dolly system.
Safety and certification
- Certified II 2GD – suitable for ATEX Zone 1 (gas) and Zone 21 (dust).
- Ex d IIA T3 explosion proof motor enclosure and Ex t IIIC dust-tight construction.
- Complies with EN 17348 for combustible dust collection.
- ULPA filtration available for ultra-clean processes.
- ESD safe: total system resistance under 10 ohms.
Technical note
The EXP1-10 (4W) BASE MODEL is particularly suitable for environments where ATEX requirements intersect with clean processes. It is frequently used in pharmaceutical production, chemical plants, cleanrooms, pyrotechnics, metallurgy and for the recovery of conductive metal powders, carbon dust or aluminium fines. The accessory kit (SD) is static dissipative but not ATEX-tested (accessories are never ATEX tested). HEPA and pre-filter options support particle control in ISO Class 4 cleanroom applications.
