Great news! We’ve expanded our 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 our current explosion-proof vacuum offerings, which already include the 118EXP, a smaller, dry-only unit, and the 118EXPW, a wet/dry unit. We also offer a pneumatic line of hazardous location vacuums.
