Nilfisk Attix 33-2H PC H-Class Hazardous Dust Vacuum Cleaner
Nilfisk Attix 33-2H PC H-Class Hazardous Dust Vacuum Cleaner
The Nilfisk Attix 33-2H PC H-Class Hazardous Dust Vacuum Cleaner and extractor is designed to enhance productivity while prioritising health and safety standards. With a substantial 30-litre capacity and a power tool take-off feature, this series provides excellent value for professional applications in both worksites and factories. Each unit comes with its certification included, ensuring it is a reliable choice for effective dust removal.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an advanced filtration system that delivers exceptional performance and durability, along with H-class dust certification. It is powered by either a 1400 Watt motor for 240-volt applications or a 1200 Watt motor for 110-volt setups, providing strong suction power. The machine features a sealed dust system and automatic filter cleaning capabilities, which are essential for compliance with stringent industry requirements, particularly in construction, where worker safety is paramount. A comprehensive kit accompanies the vacuum, including tools and attachments such as a 4-metre hose, a power tool adaptor, and storage straps for convenience.
What Filtration Does The Attix 33-2H PC Offer?
The InfiniClean™ automatic filter cleaning system helps maintain consistent performance by minimising filter clogging. Additionally, the PTFE Long-Life Filter offers a high filtration efficiency of at least 99.9% due to its non-stick membrane. Safety is further enhanced by the Dust Class H Certification, which allows safe handling of asbestos. The unique Dual Filter Solution incorporates a three-stage filtration process designed specifically for H-class/HEPA applications.
To monitor performance, the vacuum is equipped with a flow sensor that provides acoustic and LED warning signals. The 30-litre container is designed for mobility, featuring steel castors and a durable bumper for protection. The MultiFit Accessory System adds versatility for various tasks, while convenient storage solutions, including flexible rubber straps, toolbox storage, and an optional trolley handle, make transport and storage easier. It is important to note that the 240-volt option offers a power take-off of 1200 watts, while the 110-volt variant provides a power take-off of 1000 watts.
What Can I Use The Nilfisk Attix 33-2H PC H-Class Hazardous Dust Vacuum Cleaner for? And, What Can I Collect?
It is capable of collecting a variety of materials, including silica dust, asbestos, hardwood dust, synthetic mineral fibre like glass wool, mineral fibre, asphalt, cement, grout, plaster, and concrete.
Understanding H-Class Vacuum Cleaners: Safety & Compliance Explained
In industrial and specialist environments where dust is not just a nuisance but a life-threatening hazard—such as asbestos removal, lead abatement, or pharmaceutical manufacturing—even M-Class equipment is not enough. For the most dangerous airborne particles, H-Class vacuum cleaners are the only legally compliant and safe solution.
What is an H-Class Vacuum Cleaner?
H-Class (High-Hazard Class) is the highest international safety standard for professional dust extraction. While M-Class vacuums are designed for medium-risk dusts, H-Class machines are engineered to contain highly carcinogenic, pathogenic, and toxic materials.
A vacuum certified to H-Class standards is guaranteed to capture at least 99.995% of the dust it processes. These machines utilize HEPA H14 filtration (the highest grade) and are built with fully sealed chassis. Unlike standard vacuums, every H-Class unit is individually tested and certified to ensure no hazardous fibres can bypass the filter or leak through the casing.
Why Are H-Class Vacuums Important?
When dealing with "High-Hazard" materials, the margin for error is zero. Using H-Class equipment is a mandatory requirement for specialized sectors:
- Maximum Health Protection: H-Class vacuums are designed to trap microscopic particles like asbestos fibres and lead dust, which can cause terminal illnesses such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and systemic poisoning.
- Legal Compliance (COSHH & HSE): In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and COSHH regulations mandate H-Class extraction for any material with a Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL) of less than 0.1 mg/m³. Failure to use certified equipment can lead to massive fines, site closures, and legal prosecution.
- Strict Containment & Disposal: H-Class vacuums feature "low-dust" or "dust-free" bag change systems. This ensures that when the vacuum is full, workers are not exposed to a "dust cloud" during disposal—a common failure point in lesser machines.
- Acoustic & Visual Safety Alarms: To comply with BS EN 60335-2-69, these machines include integrated sensors that trigger an audible alarm if the airflow drops below 20m/s, alerting the operator to a blockage or filter saturation immediately.
Materials Requiring H-Class Collection
H-Class vacuums are required for dusts contaminated with carcinogens, pathogens, or toxic substances where the exposure limit is extremely low.
| Material Type | Common Sources & Hazards |
| Asbestos | Licensed and non-licensed removal of lagging, floor tiles, and textured coatings. |
| Lead Dust | Stripping lead-based paints, renovation of heritage buildings, or firing range maintenance. |
| Silica (RCS) | High-intensity grinding or cutting of stone and concrete (where H-Class provides a higher safety margin than M-Class). |
| Carcinogenic Dusts | Processing of materials containing bitumen, tar, nickel, cobalt, copper, or cadmium. |
| Pathogenic Hazards | Mould spores, bacteria, germs, and pharmaceutical waste in lab or clinical settings. |
| Highly Toxic Finishes | Sanding of certain chemical-heavy coatings, resins, and formaldehyde-based materials. |
⚠️ Important Safety Note: H-Class Compliance
H-Class extraction is a life-safety requirement. Because exposure to toxic, carcinogenic, or pathogenic dusts (such as asbestos or respirable crystalline silica) can lead to fatal respiratory diseases, a formal COSHH Risk Assessment must be conducted to determine the correct filtration level for your specific materials.
Standard industrial vacuums are not sufficient for high-hazard environments. For official UK guidance on the selection and use of H-Class equipment, please refer to the HSE Usin a H-Class Vacuum Cleaner page.
