Delfin 802 WD AIREX 1/3D ATEX Industrial Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner
Compressed Air Powered Explosion Proof Industrial Vacuum for Debris & Liquid Recovery
The Delfin 802 WD AIREX 1/3D is a high-performance ATEX certified industrial vacuum cleaner designed for the safe collection of liquids, and industrial debris in hazardous environments. Specifically engineered for ATEX Zone 22 applications, this industrial wet and dry vacuum cleaner operates entirely using a compressed air supply via a Venturi unit, not electricity, making it ideal for industrial facilities where electrical equipment cannot be safely used. Whilst the vacuum is certified for safe operation in ATEX Zone 22 environments, it also benefits from internal Zone 20 certification, providing an additional level of protection within the collection chamber where combustible dust may be present during operation.
Unlike conventional electric industrial vacuum cleaners, the 802 WD AIREX 1/3D uses compressed air technology to generate powerful suction without any electrical motor. This significantly reduces ignition risks in explosive dust atmospheres and allows safe operation in classified hazardous areas where electrically powered equipment may be restricted.
Built for demanding industrial cleaning applications, the 802 WD AIREX 1/3D combines powerful pneumatic suction, advanced filtration, and heavy-duty steel construction to provide reliable debris extraction and liquid recovery in explosive atmosphere environments.
For industries requiring compliant dust extraction equipment and safe industrial cleaning systems, this is more than a standard industrial vacuum cleaner, it is a certified ATEX compressed air vacuum solution for hazardous areas.

Why Choose the Delfin 802 WD AIREX 1/3D ATEX Vacuum Cleaner?
Compressed Air Supply via Venturi Unit – No Electricity Required
The defining feature of the 802 WD AIREX 1/3D is its pneumatic Venturi suction system, which operates entirely from a compressed air supply rather than electricity.
This means:
- No electrical motor
- No electrical ignition source
- Safe operation in ATEX Zone 22 areas
- Internally certified for ATEX Zone 20
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Reliable continuous industrial cleaning performance
- Suitable for hazardous environments where electric equipment may be restricted
The Venturi system uses compressed air to generate powerful industrial suction safely and efficiently, making this vacuum cleaner ideal for explosive atmosphere applications where electric equipment may not be permitted.
This compressed air industrial vacuum cleaner is available in two airflow configurations:
- 7 Venturi nozzles – 150 m³/h airflow
- 14 Venturi nozzles – 300 m³/h airflow
This flexibility allows businesses to select the correct airflow and suction performance for their industrial cleaning applications.

ATEX Zone 22 Certified Explosion Proof Vacuum Cleaner
The Delfin 802 WD AIREX carries ATEX II 1/3D certification, making it suitable for environments with occasional explosive dust atmospheres. This certification provides external protection for use within ATEX Zone 22 hazardous areas, whilst the vacuum’s internal components are certified to Zone 20, offering an additional level of safety inside the collection chamber where combustible dust may accumulate.
Zone 22 hazardous areas are locations where combustible dust clouds may occur infrequently during normal operations. In these environments, businesses are required to use ATEX approved industrial vacuum cleaners that minimise ignition risks and comply with explosion protection regulations.
Because the 802 WD AIREX 1/3D operates entirely via compressed air and Venturi technology rather than electricity, it provides an additional level of operational safety for hazardous area cleaning.
The vacuum is fully compliant with EN 17348:2022 standards for industrial vacuums used in explosive atmospheres.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Is this vacuum electrically powered?
No. The Delfin 802 WD AIREX 1/3D operates entirely using a compressed air supply via a Venturi unit and does not use an electrical motor.
Why is compressed air operation important in hazardous areas?
Compressed air powered vacuum cleaners eliminate electrical ignition sources, making them significantly safer for ATEX classified environments where combustible dust or explosive atmospheres may be present.
What is a Venturi vacuum system?
A Venturi vacuum system uses compressed air to create suction without electricity. This makes it ideal for hazardous industrial applications where electrical equipment may create ignition risks.
What does ATEX Zone 22 mean?
Zone 22 refers to areas where explosive dust clouds are not normally present but may occur occasionally during industrial operations. The 802 WD AIREX 1/3D is certified for safe external use within these Zone 22 environments, whilst its internal collection chamber is certified to Zone 20, providing an additional level of protection during material collection.
