FAQ

Click on the + sign for answers to FAQs

Can you better explain what is NFPA 652 Compliance for Vacuums and Dust Collectors?

• The materials of construction must be conductive, except in a few specific circumstances.
• Hoses must be conductive or static dissipative.
• All conductive components, including wands and attachments, must be bonded and grounded.
• Dust-laden air must not pass through the fan or blower.
• Electrical motors must not be in the dust-laden air stream unless listed for Class II, Division I, locations.
• Paper filter elements aren’t allowed for picking up liquids or wet materials.
• Vacuum systems used for metal dust must meet the requirements of NFPA 484, which is the standard for combustible metals.

Our company did a Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) and we found out our dust has a low explosivity KST rating of under 100. Our area is ORDLOC, do we need a fully explosion proof vacuum?

This is up to the discretion of your EHS or AHJ. In almost all cases a NFPA 652 vacuum for ST1 dust in ORDLOC is all you need. 

Does your company sell fully explosion proof vacuums?

Yes. Everything from small portables for Class 1 all the way to 50HP trailer mount with explosion venting.  But we don't oversell someone a fully XP vacuum when all you really need is something that is NFPA 652 safe for ST1 dust in ORDLOC. 

I was told I need a vacuum for Class II, Division 1, Division 2, Groups F, G. What does that mean?

A "vacuum for Class II, Division 1, Division 2, Groups F, G" refers to an explosion-proof vacuum cleaner specifically designed and certified for use in hazardous locations where combustible dusts like flour, grain, wood, plastic, and certain chemicals are present; meaning it can be used in areas classified as Class II, Division 1 and Division 2, with potential combustible dusts categorized under Groups F and G, according to NFPA standards. The AC 100 Z22 Air Powered is a top seller for these kinds of applications.

Safety features:

These vacuums are designed with features to prevent ignition of combustible dust, including static dissipating components, spark-resistant materials, and high-efficiency filtration systems

What types of applications are these vacuums used for?

Industries like food processing (flour mills), woodworking shops, plastic manufacturing facilities, and chemical handling operations may require such vacuums.
