Depureco TX 400S ACD
The Depureco TX 400S ACD is the suction variant of the TX 400 range: same 4 kW motor as the 400P, but calibrated to 360 mbar vacuum at the expense of airflow (330 m3/h here). S stands for suction and means the model is chosen for collection through long hoses, small inlets or heavy dust -- for instance metal and foundry sand -- where high vacuum is decisive. IEC 60335-2-69 Annex AA ensures that the internal Zone 20 construction matches the requirement for combustible dust.
Applications
- Dedicated production-line collection behind cyclone inlets

Questions and answers
Why is the Depureco TX 400S 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 400S 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 400S ACD is a stationary production-line vacuum at 140 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 76 dB(A) at 1 metre, matched to industrial background.
