ABYSS long flat nozzle in antistatic MM019NN NBR compound for deep-reach extraction of very fine dust and powder from crevices, gaps and narrow cavities in ATEX-classified Zone 21 and Zone 22. The flat profile and 430 mm length reach deep into crevices and machine cavities where shorter nozzles cannot gain access.

Applications
ABYSS ATEX is designed for deep-reach extraction of very fine dust and powder in explosive environments. The 430 mm flat profile reaches into places that shorter nozzles cannot access. Typical industries and materials:
- Food production — cereals, starches, sugars and flour in deep crevices and machine cavities
- Woodworking — fine wood dust in deep slots and machine cavities
- Metal processing — aluminium and magnesium dust in hard-to-access areas
- Chemical industry — explosive powder and granulate in deep machine gaps
- Coal processing — coal and coke dust in deep joints and cavities
Important notice: This nozzle is not ATEX-certified as a product. The ATEX directive certifies the complete installation — the nozzle’s role is to deliver the documented antistatic properties (MM019NN, 1.1 Ω·m, ISO 1853:2011) that the system manufacturer incorporates into their ATEX certification. It is the installer’s and user’s responsibility to verify suitability for the specific environment and dust class.
Frequently asked questions
ABYSS ATEX is manufactured in MM019NN antistatic NBR compound with certified volume resistivity of 1.1 Ω·m (CERISIE, ISO 1853:2011), ensuring documented equipotential bonding. A standard long nozzle does not have these documented antistatic properties and is not suitable for ATEX zones.
The nozzle is not ATEX-certified as a product. The ATEX directive certifies the complete installation — the nozzle’s role is to deliver the documented antistatic properties that the system manufacturer incorporates into their ATEX certification. It is the installer’s and user’s responsibility to verify suitability for the specific environment and zone.
The 430 mm flat profile reaches deep into crevices, slots and machine cavities that shorter nozzles such as SHARK cannot access. This makes ABYSS ideal for deep extraction in production machinery, under conveyors and in narrow channels where dust would otherwise accumulate and create an explosion hazard.
The nozzle is available in Ø38, Ø40, Ø44 and Ø50 mm. The diameter must match the pipe system on your vacuum unit. Contact us if you are unsure about the correct dimension.
The documented electrical resistance of 5–50 kΩ and volume resistivity of 1.1 Ω·m make the nozzle suitable for use in environments requiring equipotential bonding, including Zone 21 and Zone 22. It is always the user’s responsibility to verify suitability for the specific zone and installation.
Yes — ABYSS is also available in transparent silicone compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for food and pharmaceutical environments, and in colour-coded FDA NBR versions for colour-managed hygiene systems. Contact us to find out more.
