Avoid explosions with Morclean ATEX Vacuums

Image
Potential explosions can occur when a dust cloud of any combustible material will ignite under certain operating conditions; for example, when the concentration of dust in air falls within the explosion limits and when a source of ignition of the required energy is present. This is particularly common in industries such as food manufacturing, where there is a lot of combustible dusts in the atmosphere. Hazardous dusts in food industries include materials such as flour, instant coffee, sugar, dried milk, custard powder, potato powder and soup powder.  At Morclean, we supply an extensive range of ATEX rated vacuum cleaners, specifically designed to handle jobs that are not suitable for standard vacuums, when  working with potentially hazardous dust and debris in the prevention of explosions.  We have recently sent a Morclean MAV 2 Air Powered Vacuum to a popular bakery product manufacturers in Oxfordshire.

Hazardous Dust Removal

Image
Morclean have just sold three ATEX   APPROVED Vacuum Cleaners to a bakery Company in Stoke-on-Trent.   The reason for the need to use ATEX vacs is because residue from some ingredients used in their baking operations, i.e.  flour, sugar, milk powder, present a possible flash hazard when being picked up with a vacuum cleaner.  All ATEX vacuum cleaners are built using anti-static ( conductive ) materials, preventing ignition of any potentially explosive/hazardous dusts in the atmosphere. The Company opted for air operated units, but mains operated ATEX machines are also available from Morclean .  Oh, and, did I mention the also  company make sausage rolls? I hope the delivery van that's dropping the vacs off comes back with some snacks for us! The humble sausage roll.
