An Explosion-Proof Vacuum System is a vacuum system that is capable of preventing the ignition of a specified gas or vapor and operates at such an external temperature that a surrounding flammable atmosphere will not be ignited. A Nationally Recognized Testing Lab (NRTL) must certify that a vacuum system is explosion-proof.
What is an Intrinsically Safe Vacuum Cleaner?
An Intrinsically Safe Vacuum is one that operates with no moving parts and no electrical parts. The power is supplied by compressed air that is fed into a tapered restriction also called a “venturi”. Intrinsically safe vacuums are made from non-sparking metals like stainless steel and aluminum. Mild steel is not suitable as it can create a spark when a nut or a screww is vacuumed. It will create a spark when it hits the wall of the vacuum dirt-bin.
