ATEX is an abbreviation for the French term "Atmospheres Explosibles," meaning explosive atmospheres. It is mandatory within the EU for equipment used in atmospheres with a risk of explosion to comply with the ATEX directive. An explosive atmosphere refers to an environment containing flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust. When the concentration of these substances exceeds a certain level, mixes with air, and there is an ignition source, there is a risk of explosion. Nilfisk manufactures ATEX-certified vacuum cleaners that have been certified by third-party organizations for companies handling these hazardous materials. In particular, the European Directive on the Improvement of Occupational Safety and Health (EEC Directive 89/391, 1989) stipulates the avoidance of explosion risks. Furthermore, the Directive on the Use of Work Equipment (2009/104/EC) sets requirements for work equipment, including vacuum cleaners.

Applications/Examples of results

■Mechanism of Dust and Gas Explosions Three conditions for explosions and fires to occur: (1) Combustible materials (dust, gas) (2) Oxygen (3) Ignition source (spark, static electricity, heat from motors, etc.) They do not explode on their own, but can cause explosions when combined with other conditions. Examples of combustible materials: Grains, flour, starch, sugar, animal feed, light metals, coal, plastics, textile products, etc. When these materials are at a certain concentration and mixed with air, an explosion may occur from an ignition source. Nilfisk vacuum cleaners prevent ignition of mixtures that may pose an explosion risk. For environments that require explosion-proof vacuum cleaners to prevent dust and gas explosions, please refer to the following: ● Dust (Bulk Material) When transporting, moving, or cleaning dust (bulk material) in industries such as: Food, feed, pharmaceuticals, herbal medicine, sake brewing, detergents, industrial, wood, plastics, paints, chemicals, petrochemicals, power generation, recycling ● Gas Petrochemicals, sake brewing, herbal medicine, gas stations, paint manufacturing, cleaning with solvents, chemicals, industrial, open-pit mining/metallurgy, bioenergy
