Manufacturers Have New Option For Tackling High-Risk Combustible Metal Dusts
Nilfisk Industrial Vacuums Launches EXP Immersion Separator for Group E Dusts
Combustible metal dusts, such as the aluminum particulate being blamed for this week's deadly explosion at a Chinese factory, often require special care during housekeeping processes. It is often recommended that metal dusts be collected by an approved explosion-proof vacuum cleaner in conjunction with a wet immersion separator, like Nilfisk Industrial Vacuum's new Nilfisk CFM Immersion Separator.
Built to the same high standards associated with Nilfisk's Explosion-Proof Vacuum line, the Nilfisk CFM Immersion Separator for explosive dusts is used in conjunction with Nilfisk CFM-brand vacuum cleaners, such as the A15 EXP or A17 EXP. Placed upstream from the vacuum, it safely traps and retains dangerous dust particles, common to Group E, in a neutralizing fluid bath. Standard features include:
- Constructed of low-sparking materials and grounded components
- Grounding strap for added safety
- Drain valve for easy emptying
- Sight level tube to monitor liquid levels
- Antistatic wheels for maneuverability
- Coalescent filters that prevent the passage of fluid droplets that have been agitated by the working air from passing back to the vacuum
All of Nilfisk's explosion-proof vacuum cleaners can be equipped with antistatic, conductive accessories to meet every combustible dust cleaning challenge, including overhead.
