MM019NN NBR 1.1 Ω·m ISO 1853:2011 Zone 21 Zone 22 45° angled cut 190 mm −20°C to +120°C Ø38 – Ø44 mm
SHARK crevice nozzle in antistatic black MM019NN NBR compound for ATEX Zone 21 and Zone 22 – 45° angled cut, 190 mm, Ø38–Ø44 mm

Used together with

SHARK crevice nozzle in antistatic MM019NN NBR compound for precise spot extraction of very fine dust and powder from crevices and hard-to-reach areas in ATEX-classified Zone 21 and Zone 22. The characteristic 45° angled cut and 190 mm length allow the nozzle to reach into tight spaces — alongside machinery, along edges and into joints — where conventional nozzles cannot gain access.

Applications

SHARK ATEX is specifically designed for extracting very fine dust and powder from crevices, gaps and hard-to-reach areas in explosive environments. The angled shape makes it easy to work along machine edges, bench overhangs and in narrow joints. Typical industries and materials:

  • Food production — cereals, starches, sugars and flour powder in crevices and joints
  • Woodworking — fine wood dust along machine edges and in gaps
  • Metal processing — aluminium and magnesium dust in hard-to-reach areas
  • Chemical industry — explosive powder and granulate in machinery gaps
  • Coal processing — coal and coke dust in narrow slots and joints
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

SHARK 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 crevice 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 45° cut allows the nozzle to be inserted into very narrow crevices and gaps, and to work close alongside machine edges and components. Combined with 190 mm length, it provides good reach while keeping the operator’s hands at a safe distance from the extraction area.
The nozzle is available in Ø38, Ø40 and Ø44 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 — SHARK 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.
