WHY AN ATEX VACUUM?

The European Union adopted two European directives in regard to health and safety, known as ATEX 2014/34/UE (also ATEX 114) and ATEX 99/92/CE (also ATEX 137 or ATEX 153), concerning the risk of the existence of potentially explosives atmospheres.

• 2014/34/EU for the regulation of those devices to be used in zones where a risk of explosion exists; the directive points at those manufacturers of equipment intended for use in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres and at an obligation to certify these products; Directive 94/9/CE was cancelled and replaced effectively from 20 April 2016;

• 99/92/CE for the workers safety and health in explosive atmospheres; it is applied to those environments where a risk of explosion exists, where installations and certified tooling is used and it is consequently addressed to the users.

ATEX ZONES CLASSIFICATION

ATEX zones classify the risk of potentially explosive
atmospheres and require ATEX-certified industrial vacuums for safety:

Zone 20 (Z20): Combustible dust continuously present or for extended periods.
Zone 21 (Z21): Combustible dust likely to occur occasionally during normal operation.
Zone 22 (Z22): Combustible dust infrequently present and short-lived.

Zone 0 (Z0): Flammable gas or vapor continuously present or for long periods.
Zone 1 (Z1): Flammable gas or vapor likely to occur during normal operation.
Zone 2 (Z2): Flammable gas or vapor present occasionally and briefly.

EXPLOSION PENTAGON

Just like the fire triangle, that represents the flammability conditions (and of consequent explosion), for liquid and gaseous combustibles, it is common to refer to “the explosion pentagon” when it comes to dusts as well as gases, vapours and mists.The five conditions represented in the pentagon of the explosions, and necessary to create the conditions for an explosion are:

  1. Presence of combustible dust
  2. Presence of a combustion agent in the environment
  3. Presence of an ignition source
  4. Delimited environment
DUST & GASS INCREASE OF TEMPERATURE, SPARKS AND OPEN FLAMES CLOSED AREA WHERE THE COMBUSTIBLE CANNOT BE EASILY DISPERSED MIX OF COMBUSTIBLE AND FUEL

ATEX industrial vacuums are intrinsically safe to minimise the risk of explosion, according to the specific requirements of each respective zone.
