Handle Either Liquids or Solids with an Explosion-Proof Vacuum

| By Chemical Engineering

Explosion-proof vacuum cleaners play a key role in the prevention of accidents. This line of explosion-proof vacuums is composed of two electric models, the CFM 118 EXP and 118 EXPW, and two intrinsically-safe pneumatic models, the A15 EXP and A15 EXPW. The 118 EXP is for pick-up of dry materials, while the 118 EXPW is equipped for picking up liquids and other wet hazardous materials. They are composed entirely of 304 stainless steel, and equipped with conductive accessories to eliminate percussion arcing and static charge. In addition, the 118 EXP Series has undergone extensive testing and is CSA approved for use in Class I, Group D, and Class II, Groups E, F, and G environments. All vacuums in the new explosion-proof line feature an ergonomic design, including a wheeled collection container that is easy to remove, lift, carry and empty. — Nilfisk cfm, Malvern, Pa.
