Depureco TX 300 ACD
- Dedicated production-line collection behind cyclone inlets
- Continuous process duty in powder metallurgy and sintering
- Conveyor belts with open or semi-open collection points
- Welding and plasma-cutting lines with metallic splatter
- Foundries with sand, mould and process dust
- IEC 60335-2-69 Annex AA (ACD)
- Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
- EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
Depureco TX 300 ACD
The Depureco TX 300 ACD is the entry model in the TX range and a dedicated production-line vacuum: three-phase 400 V, 3 kW side-channel blower, 100 L tangential container with cyclone and 350 m3/h airflow at 230 mbar vacuum. It is used where collection must run continuously as part of the production flow itself -- not as a mobile collector but as a fixed part of the line. The IEC 60335-2-69 Annex AA certification applies to the internal parts, so an ignition inside the container does not reach the surroundings.
Applications
- Dedicated production-line collection behind cyclone inlets

Questions and answers
Why is the Depureco TX 300 ACD a better choice than a standard industrial vacuum?
Because production-line collection requires a vacuum that can run 24/7 without human supervision. The TX range is a side-channel blower with 100 L tangential cyclone container, designed to sit fixed in the line and collect continuously through a cyclone inlet. The ACD certification per IEC 60335-2-69 Annex AA preserves the internal Zone 20 capacity, so combustible dust does not become an ignition source for the production environment.
Why this specific motor and phase configuration?
A three-phase side-channel blower is the only motor configuration that can run continuously 24/7 in a production flow. The TX range offers different motor sizes and flow/suction calibrations, letting you match exactly the suction profile your production plant requires -- from 3 kW to 7.5 kW, from 160 mbar flow-biased up to 440 mbar suction-biased.
What types of dust is the Depureco TX 300 ACD actually intended for?
Continuous process dust in production-line quantities: fine foundry sand, metal swarf from CNC and laser-cutting lines, powder-metallurgy fractions, cellulose dust from paper and wood industry, fine aluminium and magnesium dust from light-metal machining. The TX range is used where collection is a fixed part of the production flow, not a mobile task.
What is the difference between ACD and ATEX?
ACD is the IEC 60335-2-69 Annex AA certification for combustible dust in non-ATEX-classified production halls. Most industrial plants are not formally ATEX-classified because dust concentration does not constantly exceed the classification threshold -- but a fine-dust ignition is still a realistic risk. ATEX is for formally classified zones per Directive 2014/34/EU and used in Zone 20/21/22.
Which filter is fitted as standard, and can I upgrade to HEPA?
The standard is an antistatic polyester star filter class M at 38000 cm2 with integrated relief valve. Options are SP (star-polyester with pulse cleaning) or PSC (polyester cartridge with compressed-air cleaning) plus HEPA H14 for class H. The compressed-air cleaning option is recommended at high dust volumes where manual filter cleaning would interrupt production.
How mobile or stationary is it in practice?
The Depureco TX 300 ACD is a stationary production-line vacuum at 130 kg -- on wheels and movable, but not intended for daily relocation. Placement is fixed at a production station with permanent cable and hose routing. Noise level is 74 dB(A) at 1 metre, matched to industrial background.
