Why Choose the Delfin DM AIREX 1/3D ATEX Vacuum Cleaner?

High-Capacity Multi-Venturi Compressed Air Suction System

The defining feature of the DM AIREX 1/3D is its powerful multi-nozzle Venturi suction unit, designed to generate exceptional airflow using only compressed air.

Unlike electrically powered industrial vacuum cleaners, the DM AIREX 1/3D operates entirely without electrical power, making it ideal for hazardous environments where electrical equipment may not be suitable.

This means:

No electrical motor
No electrical ignition source
Safe operation within ATEX classified environments
Reduced maintenance requirements
Reliable continuous-duty performance
Suitable for areas where electrical power is unavailable or restricted

The low-maintenance Venturi suction system is available in two performance configurations:

DM AIREX 1/3D – 19 Venturi Nozzles

Airflow: 465 m³/h

DM AIREX 1/3D – 25 Venturi Nozzles

Airflow: 590 m³/h

These exceptionally high airflow rates provide cleaning performance comparable to many electric industrial vacuum cleaners while maintaining all the safety advantages of pneumatic operation.
