ATEX certified and approved vacuum cleaners for Explosive materials and environments.

BVC have developed a range of electric and compressed air driven industrial vacuum cleaners for use in potentially explosive atmospheres where the presence of gases, vapours, mists or dust may ignite. Under the EU ATEX 100a directive 94/9/EC only suitably approved machines can be used to perform this duty.

The machines offer collection capacities up to 80 litres of dry product and some can also be used with liquids.
