Lincolnshire Food Manufacturer Invests in ATEX Safety with Morclean Vacuums

A large food manufacturing facility in Lincolnshire has taken a major step forward in site safety and dust control by investing in eight ATEX-certified industrial vacuum cleaners from Morclean. The purchase reflects the manufacturer’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of hygiene, operator safety, and compliance within a potentially hazardous production environment.

Addressing Dust Risks in Food Manufacturing

In large-scale food production, airborne dust is more than just a housekeeping issue. Fine powders such as flour, sugar, starch, and other ingredients can present serious explosion and health risks if not managed correctly. ATEX-rated equipment is essential in these environments to ensure dust is safely contained and removed without introducing ignition sources.

Recognising these risks, the Lincolnshire-based manufacturer selected Morclean’s MAV 15-45 ATEX vacuum cleaner, a robust and cost-effective solution designed specifically for hazardous dust applications.

Why the Morclean MAV 15-45?

The MAV 15-45 Type H vacuum cleaner is a proven choice for demanding industrial environments. Powered entirely by compressed air, it eliminates the need for electrical components, significantly reducing the risk of sparks and ignition in explosive atmospheres.

Key features of the MAV 15-45 include:

• ATEX certification for use in Gas Zone 1 and 2 and Dust Zone 21 and 22

• 99.995% filtration efficiency, ensuring hazardous fine dusts are safely captured

• Type H classification, suitable for higher-risk dusts that pose serious health concerns

• A durable, low-maintenance design built with long-lasting components

• A highly cost-effective solution for large-scale industrial operations

This combination of safety, reliability, and affordability made the MAV 15-45 an ideal fit for a high-throughput food manufacturing site operating across multiple production zones.

Enhancing Safety and Efficiency Across the Site

By deploying eight ATEX vacuum units, the manufacturer can now support multiple cleaning teams simultaneously, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent housekeeping standards throughout the facility. Improved dust control also helps protect machinery, maintain product quality, and create a safer working environment for employees.

The use of compressed air-powered vacuums further supports operational efficiency, particularly in areas where electrical equipment is restricted or impractical.
