Morgantown, Pa.-The Nilfisk Industrial Vacuum Division has expanded its line of combustible dust vacuums with the availability of the new Nilfisk CFM 118/50EXP. Designed for the collection of dry dust and debris that often accumulates on floors and overhead areas in manufacturing facilities, this single-phase, electric vacuum cleaner is CSA-certified explosion-proof / dust ignition-proof for use in Class I, Group D, and Class II, Groups E, F, and G environments.
Constructed to the highest level of operational safety, the Nilfisk CFM 118/50EXP is completely grounded, composed of non-sparking 304 stainless steel, and equipped with conductive hose and accessories to eliminate percussion arcing and static charge. The Nilfisk CFM 118/50 EXP also features:
13.2-gallon collection container that is easy to remove, lift, carry, and empty.
Antistatic filter with large surface area that guarantees high filtration efficiency and prevents premature clogging.
Downstream HEPA filter to capture 99.97% of debris, down to and including 0.3 microns; Optional upstream HEPA/ULPA filtration is also available.
The launch of the Nilfisk CFM 118/50 EXP enhances the company's current explosion-proof vacuum offerings, which already include the 118EXP, a smaller, dry-only unit, and the 118EXPW, a wet/dry unit.
