Why using an industrial vacuum in potentially explosive atmospheres?

Nilfisk-CFM vacuum cleaners prevent the trigger of potentially explosive mixtures.

The conditions necessary for an explosion or fire to occur are: the presence of a combustible substance , oxygen and an ignition source.

When using industrial vacuum cleaners, air and therefore oxygen, is always present, and there are also dust clouds and possibly flammable gas or vapor. Therefore, two of the three elements that can generate the explosion are always present: air and a combustible material.

ATEX certified Nilfisk-CFM industrial vacuum cleaners eliminate the third parameter: the trigger. The vacuum cleaners are designed to prevent the triggering of any source of ignition, making vacuum cleaning operations safe.
