The Tiger-Vac C-10 EX (4W) EU EN17348 BLSD is Tiger-Vac's EN 17348-certified 4-wheel dolly variant of the C-10 EX platform in BLSD configuration. This is the variant Thomas recommends -- 19 L disposable filter bag as the recovery medium, 4-wheel dolly at 93 cm tall, and a BLSD motor (1100 W / 1.1 kW / 8 A) delivering 216 m3/h at 2250 mmH2O and 72 dB(A). Marked II 1/3D Ex h tc IIIC T85 C Dc IP6X (External) / Ex h IIIC T85 C Da (Internal), EN 17348 DT compliance and IECEx LCIE 15.0048 3rd party certificate. AISI 430 tank as standard, AISI 304 tank available as an option (111805B-304 configuration, +3 kg in weight).

Questions and answers
What does II 1/3D mean on this machine?
II 1/3D means category 1 internally and category 3 externally -- the highest protection level (Da) inside the collection tank and the lowest on the outer housing (Dc). In practice: the unit can recover from Zone 20 (dust continuously present) even though the powerhead itself sits in Zone 22 (dust rarely present). That is the typical ATEX housekeeping configuration in process production -- recovery happens at a hazardous point while the operator stays in the less hazardous area.
What is the benefit of the BLSD motor?
BLSD = Brushless. The model delivers 1100 W / 1.1 kW / 8 A and 216 m3/h at 2250 mmH2O. The brushless motor has no carbon brushes, which extends life by about 4-5x (typically 5000 hours versus 1000-1500 hours for a universal motor) and gives a lower surface temperature (T85 C vs T200 C). This also means lower dust-ignition risk and 3rd party certified EN 17348 DT compliance. Plus: no carbon dust from brushes in the internal air path.
What is the HEPA H14 setup on this model?
Every unit is supplied with 4 individually factory-tested HEPA H14 filters in the housing (212304B-HD as primary HEPA, 215372 and 211854 as tertiary). Total filter area is 20,253 cm2 -- about 2 m2. The class is H14 per EN 1822, equivalent to 99.995 % MPPS (Most Penetrating Particle Size). That is the requirement EN 17348 DT places on ATEX vacuums for combustible dust including asbestos, lead and pharma CMR substances.
Can it pick up liquids?
No. The entire C series is certified EN 17348 DT -- dry recovery only. For wet/dry recovery in Zone 20/22, a dedicated WD model must be used, such as the CD-63L EX (W&D) variants. For liquid recovery in ATEX Kombi zones (II 2GD), see the ATEX-12A (4W) or (2+2W).
How is the unit wired up?
The power outlet is not included -- it must be fitted by an electrician per local regulations (typically 16 A schuko or blue CEE in Europe). 220-240 V 50/60 Hz single-phase. The cord is 10.6 m. The ATEX marking covers the vacuum cleaner itself -- the outlet and supply must be ATEX-rated if the unit is supplied from inside Zone 22 (II 3D-rated outlet). Supply from a non-classified area places no requirement on the outlet itself.
Why this EN17348 VERSION specifically?
EN 17348 is the European harmonised standard for industrial vacuums for combustible dust -- published 2022 and harmonised March 2023 (under the ATEX directive) and August 2024 (under the Machinery Directive). The "DT" suffix means Dust-Tight (dry recovery only). EN 17348 compliance is not a separate certificate but a strict test protocol the manufacturer must meet to apply the EN 17348 DT marking on the nameplate. The EN17348 VERSION additionally has the BLSD motor as standard -- T85 C surface temperature is a combined benefit for electrical efficiency and lower ignition risk.
