Industrial Vacuum for Fine Powders and Combustible Dusts

Vac-U-Max’s MDL15 combustible dust air-vac is part of the company’s industrial vacuum cleaning product range for combustible dusts and offers high-volume cleanup of powders and combustible dusts from floors, walls, machinery, and overhead surfaces. The vacuum’s features

include manual blow-back filter cleaning with static-conductive PTFE pre-filter and secondary cartridge filter, and static-conductive casters. Dust, debris and fine powders are collected in “off-the-shelf” static-conductive polybags, eliminating “the mushroom cloud” that comes with drum dumping. Standard construction includes anti-sparking stainless steel in 304SS or 316SS bead-blast finish. The device is equipped with a static-conductive compressed-air hose, ATEX-certified vacuum hose, and complete cleaning tool kit assembly for floors, walls, machinery, and overhead cleaning.

The vacuum uses the company’s Venturi power unit, which allows for low compressed-air consumption with no electricity required. The unit offers suction power at 16 in. Hg (208 in. H20), with Air Flow of 100 SCFM, requiring 35 SCFM at 60 PSI. Suction connection is 1.5 in. in diameter, with compressed-air connection at half inch NPT (Female). Noise levels are below 79 DBA at 8 in. Hg. Bonding and grounding requirements meet NFPA 77-2007 "Recommended Practice on Static Electricity” standard. The device is also suitable for Class II, Division 2 environments.
