Find the right vacuum cleaner for combustible dust in ATEX Zone 22. Compare three compact models from Delfin, Depureco and Tiger-Vac with prices, or get help choosing a solution for your production.
All three are compact ATEX vacuum cleaners for combustible dust in Zone 22, shown with price and key specifications. If you need help choosing, send us an enquiry.
A compact model with class M filter, HEPA H14 and a stainless steel container.
Brushless motor for intensive, continuous operation. The highest airflow of the three.
HEPA H14 filtration and closed collection in conductive bags. Each of the four HEPA filters is leak-tested at the factory.
These three are only a small part of our range. We work with more than 300 models for ATEX gas Zones 1 and 2 and dust Zones 21 and 22, both mobile and stationary. Technical advice: we help you choose the right industrial vacuum cleaner based on dust type, application and ATEX requirements.
See the main differences before you choose. Final suitability depends on dust type, ATEX zone and the specific task.

ATEX suitability must always be assessed against the specific zone and the product documentation.

When you collect combustible dust, comparing motor power and price is not enough. Dust type, zone classification, filtration and the collection method all belong in the choice.
An ATEX vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the environment where it is used. The documentation and marking of each model are decisive.
Ask us about your needs →Look at both the area around the machine and the conditions inside the collection system.
The properties of the dust and the process conditions are important for choosing a safe solution.
HEPA H14, dust class and ATEX approval describe different things and must not be confused.
Look at airflow, vacuum, container size and expected operating time.
An ATEX vacuum cleaner is designed and marked for specific explosive atmospheres. An ordinary industrial vacuum cleaner is not automatically suitable for combustible dust or ATEX zones. Always check the manufacturer's documentation.
No. We work with more than 300 ATEX vacuum cleaners for gas Zones 1 and 2 and dust Zones 21 and 22, both mobile and stationary. See all Ex-Vac products or ask us for advice.
It depends on the ATEX marking of the specific machine, the classified zone and the properties of the dust. The models shown here must be assessed individually against the application.
Zone 22 is a place where a cloud of combustible dust is not likely to occur in normal operation, and if it does occur, only for a short period. Zone 20 is a place where such a cloud is present continuously, for long periods or frequently. Source: Directive 1999/92/EC, Annex I.
Inside the container, the three machines on this page are category 1D with protection level Da, which corresponds to Zone 20. Outside, they are category 3D with protection level Dc, so the machine may stand and work in Zone 22. For Zone 21 you need a 1/2D version. Delfin MTL 301 and Depureco BL PRO DEX also exist as 1/2D.
EN 17348:2022 is the harmonised standard for vacuum cleaners used in hazardous areas. It requires tightness and filtration to be tested on the complete machine, all conductive parts to be measured to earth, an H-class HEPA filter after the main filter, and a manual that states which dust the machine may and may not be used for. DT means dry type, dry pick-up only. All three machines here are built to EN 17348 DT.
No. HEPA H14 describes the performance of a filter, while H class refers to the dust classification of the vacuum cleaner under the relevant standards. A HEPA H14 filter is not in itself proof of H class or ATEX suitability.
The three models on this page start at EUR 2,375 excl. VAT, with the accessory kit included. Ask for a current quote to confirm accessories and delivery terms.
Start with the zone classification, the dust type and the work process. Then assess the requirements for airflow, filtration and collection. Particulair can help you clarify the relevant product properties.
