Description
## What is an ATEX Explosion-Proof Pneumatic Cleaner?
An internationally certified explosion-proof wet/dry pneumatic vacuum cleaner designed for hazardous environments. The SP20 model (20-liter capacity) operates using compressed air instead of electricity, eliminating sparks and electrical shock risks in explosive or flammable atmospheres.
## Key Benefits of ATEX-Certified Cleaners
1. **Increases ESG Ratings** - Improves Social (S) sector evaluation by ensuring workplace safety compliance.
2. **Reduces Risk Assessment Scores** - Lower hazard classification leads to reduced insurance premiums.
3. **Prevents Workplace Accidents** - Eliminates electrical shock and fire risks in explosive areas.
4. **Cost-Effective Solution** - 50% cheaper than competing international explosion-proof equipment.
## What Makes ATEX Certification Important?
ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) is the European international explosion-proof certification. This certification confirms:
- **Safety Assurance**: Equipment is safe for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas areas, Zone 21 and Zone 22 dust areas
- **Performance Verified**: Tested and approved by international standards
- **Regulatory Compliance**: Meets global maritime and industrial safety requirements
- **Risk Mitigation**: Prevents catastrophic industrial accidents
## How Does the SP20 Pneumatic Cleaner Work?
Unlike electric cleaners, the SP20 uses compressed air (600 L/min) to create suction:
- **Air Compression System**: Requires standard 1HP compressor
- **Vacuum Generation**: 6000 L/min inhalation capacity
- **No Electrical Components**: Eliminates spark and static electricity
- **Anti-Static Grounding**: All components designed to prevent static buildup
- **Robust Construction**: Stainless steel body resists corrosion

- Unsuitable for explosive atmospheres
**ATEX Pneumatic Cleaners:**
- Zero electrical shock risk
- No ignition sources or sparks
- 10+ year operational lifespan
- ATEX certified for explosive zones
- Single maintenance-free operation
## What Hazardous Areas Require Explosion-Proof Equipment?

- Sewage tanks and wastewater systems
- Lube oil storage tanks
- Fresh water tanks and ballast tanks
- Engine room maintenance areas
- Cargo tank areas (Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2)
- Anchor chain storage rooms
### Onshore Industrial Facilities:
- Oil refineries and chemical plants
- Explosive powder manufacturing
- 3D printing facilities (metal/polymer powder)
- Paint factories and coating facilities
- Semiconductor cleanrooms
- Thermal and nuclear power plants
- Food processing plants (HACCP certified)
- Steel mills and welding shops
### Specialized Applications:

**Military & Defense:** Korean Navy, Korean Air Force, Army Consolidated Maintenance
**Advanced Manufacturing:** SAMSUNG SDI (battery materials), Poongsan Corporation (ammunition), NOBELIS (aluminum processing)
## How ATEX Zoning Works
### Gas Areas:
- **Zone 0**: Explosive atmosphere continuously or for long periods
- **Zone 1**: Explosive atmosphere likely during normal operation
- **Zone 2**: Explosive atmosphere unlikely under normal conditions
### Dust Areas:
- **Zone 20**: Explosive dust atmosphere continuously
- **Zone 21**: Explosive dust atmosphere likely during normal operation
- **Zone 22**: Explosive dust atmosphere unlikely under normal conditions
**Note:** MROVIA's SP20 is certified for use in Zones 1 & 2 (gas) and Zones 21 & 22 (dust), providing broader coverage than standard electric explosion-proof cleaners.
