Nilfisk ATTIX 40-0M PC ATEX Type 22 Vacuum Cleaner
Nilfisk ATTIX 40-0M PC ATEX Type 22 Vacuum Cleaner
The Nilfisk ATTIX 40-0M PC ATEX Type 22 is a high-performance industrial vacuum specifically engineered for environments where combustible dust poses a serious explosion risk. Unlike standard vacuums, this machine is fully certified under the ATEX Directive for use in Zone 22 environments. Built with a high-quality stainless steel container and an electronically controlled brushless motor, it provides the ultimate combination of safety, durability, and powerful suction.
Whether you are handling explosive flour, wood dust, or chemical powders, the ATTIX 40-0M PC ensures your facility remains compliant with strict health and safety regulations while providing a cleaner, safer workspace.
Nilfisk ATTIX 40 ATEX Type 22 Key Features
- Zone 22 ATEX Certification: Fully explosion-proof design, approved for use in environments containing explosive dusts (Type 22).
- M-Class Dust Compliance: Certified to capture 99.9% of medium-hazard dusts, ensuring high-level respiratory protection for operators.
- EC Brushless Motor Technology: Features a long-life, spark-free motor designed for continuous use in hazardous areas without the risk of ignition.
- High-Grade Stainless Steel Drum: The 37-litre container is made from durable stainless steel, offering superior chemical resistance and easy decontamination.
- Push&Clean™ Semi-Automatic System: Rapidly clean the filter during operation at the press of a button, maintaining peak suction without exposing the user to dust.
- Washable PTFE Filter: A high-efficiency, non-stick membrane filter that is easy to clean and built to withstand rigorous industrial use.
- Fully Anti-Static Design: The machine is completely earthed to prevent static build-up, a critical safety requirement for handling dry, combustible powders.
- Compact & Mobile: Despite its industrial power, the ATTIX 40 features a compact footprint and high-quality castors for easy movement around tight workspaces.
Who and Where is the ATTIX 40 ATEX Best Suited?
- Food & Beverage Production: Essential for handling combustible organic dusts like flour, sugar, and starch in bakeries or processing plants.
- Woodworking & Joinery: Ideal for Zone 22 areas where fine wood shavings and sawdust create a potential fire and explosion hazard.
- Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Perfect for labs and manufacturing sites dealing with sensitive powders that require sparked-controlled extraction.
- Metalworking: Safe for extracting specific types of metal dust that are prone to ignition in standard vacuum systems.
Supplied with Type-22 Hose, Curved Tube and Diagonal Tube Nozzle.
*An additional complete 6-piece Type-22 4890 7-tool kit can be purchased separately. Please refer to the 'You May Need' section for more details. SOLD SEPARATELY.
Are The Filters Easy To Maintain?
The Nilfisk ATTIX 40-0M TYPE 22 is a mid-sized vacuum cleaner equipped with a Push&Clean filter cleaning system that enhances efficiency and minimises downtime. Operating costs are kept low thanks to the washable M-class PET fleece filter elements, while user-friendliness peaks with its low working sound level, allowing you to work nearby others without causing any disturbances.
The Nilfisk ATTIX 40-0M-PC is a very popular choice for the food industry, specifically bakeries and flour mills. The machine can also be used in all environments where M-Class is required.
TYPE 22 vacuum cleaners meet all requirements with the utmost safety, guaranteeing optimal health protection. Featuring EC technology, which includes a single-phase brushless motor, these machines are suitable for use in ATEX Zone 22 environments. The electrically conductive and grounded container inlet, along with the TYPE 22 accessories, provides a safe and spark-free working solution.
Understanding ATEX Vacuum Cleaners: Explosion Safety & Compliance Explained
In industrial environments where combustible dusts, powders, or flammable vapors are present—such as chemical plants, grain silos, and advanced manufacturing hubs—standard vacuum cleaners pose a severe ignition risk. This is where ATEX-certified vacuum cleaners become a legal and life-saving necessity.
What is an ATEX Vacuum Cleaner?
ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) is a mandatory European and UK safety framework for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. Unlike standard units, an ATEX vacuum is specifically engineered to prevent the machine itself from becoming an ignition source.
A vacuum certified for ATEX Zone 22 (the most common industrial dust zone) is built with total anti-static continuity. Every component—from the hose to the motor—is designed to dissipate static electricity safely to the earth, ensuring that sparks cannot trigger a dust explosion.
Why Are ATEX Vacuums Important?
The importance of using ATEX-certified equipment goes beyond basic cleaning; it is a fundamental requirement for fire prevention and disaster mitigation:
- Explosion Prevention: Many common industrial dusts (like flour, sugar, or aluminium) become highly explosive when suspended in the air. ATEX vacuums eliminate the static discharge and motor sparks that cause "primary" explosions.
- Regulatory Compliance: In the UK, the DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations) mandates that employers control the risks from fire and explosion. Using non-certified equipment in a designated ATEX zone is a major legal breach.
- Operational Continuity: A dust explosion can be catastrophic for a business. Investing in ATEX-rated machinery protects your facility, your infrastructure, and most importantly, your workforce.
Materials Suitable for ATEX Collection
ATEX vacuums are designed to safely handle combustible dusts and conductive materials that could otherwise cause a short circuit or ignition:
| Material Type | Common Sources |
| Combustible Food Dusts | Flour mills, sugar processing, grain silos, and spice blending. |
| Reactive Metal Powders | Aluminium, Magnesium, and Titanium dust from grinding or 3D Printing. |
| Chemical & Pharma | Processing of powders, organic pigments, and pharmaceutical ingredients. |
| Carbon & Coal Dust | Fuel handling, coal power facilities, and carbon fibre manufacturing. |
| Powder Coating | Over-spray from industrial painting and metal finishing lines. |
⚠️ Important Safety Note: ATEX Compliance
This guide is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal safety audit. Because explosive atmospheres vary by industry and material concentration, a comprehensive DSEAR Risk Assessment must be carried out by a qualified person to determine if your specific environment and the materials being collected require ATEX-certified equipment.
Failure to use correctly rated machinery in hazardous zones can lead to catastrophic ignition risks. For official UK regulatory guidance on ATEX and explosive atmospheres, please visit the HSE ATEX Equipment and Explosive Atmospheres page.
The MK Floortec Standard
At MK Floortec, we understand that ATEX compliance is about precision engineering and total reliability. Our ATEX range features specialized industrial models from Nilfisk and MAC, specifically engineered to meet the highest safety standards:
- Total Anti-Static Continuity: All our ATEX units feature "Ground-to-Earth" conductivity across every part—hoses, accessories, and filters—to prevent static build-up.
- Brushless, Spark-Free Motors: Equipped with specialised induction motors that have no brushes, eliminating the internal friction sparks found in standard vacuum motors.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Most units feature high-grade stainless steel containers to prevent corrosion and ensure maximum durability in high-risk zones.
- HEPA Filtration for Hazardous Dust: Many of our ATEX models also meet H-Class filtration standards, providing dual protection against both explosions and toxic particle inhalation.
Investing in an ATEX-rated vacuum cleaner is a critical commitment to industrial safety. It ensures your facility remains protected against the hidden dangers of combustible dust while remaining fully compliant with DSEAR legislation.
