Explosion Proof Vacuum and Cyclone Separation System



Ruwac offers its FRV1400 explosion proof vacuum and HEC-XLT-EX pre-separation system. This vacuum is compliant to OSHA's combustible dust initiative CPL-03-00-008, making it useful for work environments where materials may pose a hazard. "Not only does this continuous duty vacuum remove the risk of a possible explosion, but it keeps the workspace clean and dust-free," said a company spokesperson. "Combined with 28 sq. ft. of Ruwac's MicroClean filtration that is 99.99% efficient at 0.5 microns with the option to upgrade to HEPA or ULPA filtration, the FRV1400 is virtually maintenance free."

Each of the electric explosion proof vacuums is certified to Class I, Division 1 & 2, Group D and Class II, Division 1 & 2, Groups F & G requirements for use in hazardous locations and ETL third party certified to UL and CSA standards. Made in the USA, Ruwac's electric explosion proof vacuum parts and components are fully grounded, static dissipating and guaranteed to be spark-free.

Available in 300 CFM, the FRV1400 includes an explosion proof TEFC motor alongside a multi-stage centrifugal, high performance turbine and relief valve rated for 24/7 operation. This vacuum's modular housing is under 8 cubic feet in total area, fully grounded and made from a durable carbon impregnated, compression cast composite backed by a lifetime guarantee. Each FRV1400 vacuum features a foot-actuated dustpan for dustless clean-up and Ruwac's MicroClean filtration (with the option to upgrade to HEPA.)

Connecting the FRV1400 to the HEC-XLT-EX can help prevent fine dust from prematurely clogging the vacuum cleaner filter. The pre-separation system features Ruwac's 12" high efficiency cyclone and collects up to 97% of fines prior to reaching the filter, reducing downtime and costly filter replacements in the process, according to the company. A lifting assembly mechanically raises the HEC unit from a drum collector while the drum tips for easy emptying. The system also includes an equalizer kit that allows plastic bags to be inserted inside the drum for easier clean-ups. Forklift pockets provide mobility while conductive casters provide explosion proof safety.
