What This ATEX Industrial Vacuum Cleaner Is Designed For
Industrial environments that generate fine powders or combustible dust require specialised cleaning equipment to prevent dust accumulation and reduce explosion risks. The Delfin MTL201 1/3D explosion proof vacuum is specifically designed to collect and contain hazardous dust particles safely without creating sparks or ignition sources.
This ATEX industrial vacuum cleaner is commonly used in industries such as:
- Food processing and flour mills where sugar, flour, starch, and grain dust are present
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing handling fine powders and active ingredients
- Chemical production facilities dealing with volatile dust and powders
- Woodworking and furniture manufacturing where wood dust can create explosive conditions
- Metalworking and additive manufacturing involving aluminium or metallic dust
- Packaging plants and industrial production lines requiring regular dust extraction
In these environments, a standard vacuum cleaner can pose serious risks. A certified hazardous area vacuum cleaner like the Delfin MTL201 ensures dust is safely captured and contained without compromising safety compliance.

Independent Third-Party ATEX Certification
A key advantage of the Delfin MTL201 1/3D is that it is independently certified by a third-party ATEX certification body. This means the vacuum has undergone rigorous external testing to verify compliance with ATEX safety standards for explosive atmospheres.
Third-party certification provides additional assurance that the equipment meets the required safety performance criteria for operation in hazardous dust environments.
The machine carries:
- Zone 20 Internal Certification – safe even where combustible dust may be continuously present inside the vacuum system.
- Zone 22 External Certification – safe for areas where explosive dust clouds may occasionally occur.
For companies searching for a third-party ATEX certified vacuum cleaner or Zone 20 industrial vacuum, this independent verification ensures compliance with recognised European safety standards.

Powerful Industrial Suction with a Single-Phase Motor
The Delfin MTL201 1/3D ATEX industrial vacuum system is powered by a single-phase bypass motor, delivering strong suction performance while remaining compatible with standard electrical power supplies found in most factories and workshops.
Because it runs on single-phase power, the vacuum can be installed and operated without requiring specialised electrical infrastructure, making it a practical industrial vacuum for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and production environments.
This motor configuration is designed for non-continuous cleaning tasks, typically up to three hours of operation per day. In practical terms, this makes the vacuum ideal for scheduled cleaning routines, machinery maintenance, floor preparation, or removing accumulated dust from production equipment.

Protected Motor Housing for Explosion Safety
Safety is critical when working in hazardous dust environments. The motor in the Delfin MTL201 1/3D explosion proof vacuum cleaner is housed inside an Ex tb certified protective enclosure, which prevents sparks or high temperatures from coming into contact with combustible dust.
This protective design dramatically reduces ignition risks and ensures the machine meets strict safety standards required for industrial explosion proof vacuum cleaners used in hazardous areas.
For companies prioritising compliance with ATEX regulations and workplace dust safety, this feature provides essential protection during daily industrial cleaning operations.

Advanced Filtration System with Antistatic Class M and HEPA Filters
The Delfin MTL201 ATEX vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a high-performance filtration system supplied as standard, ensuring safe and effective dust collection in hazardous environments.
The filtration system includes:
Polyester Antistatic Class M Filter
The primary filter is a durable polyester antistatic Class M filter, designed to capture fine dust particles while preventing static electricity build-up during operation. Class M filtration is designed for medium-risk hazardous dust and typically captures at least 99.9% of dust particles, making it suitable for many industrial applications involving combustible dust.
The antistatic properties are particularly important in ATEX environments because they help prevent electrostatic discharge that could potentially ignite dust particles.
HEPA Filter for Fine Particle Protection
In addition to the Class M filter, the vacuum also includes a HEPA filter as standard, providing an additional level of filtration for extremely fine particles. HEPA filtration is capable of capturing microscopic dust particles down to 0.3 microns, helping prevent hazardous dust from re-entering the workspace.
Together, this dual filtration system makes the Delfin MTL201 a highly effective industrial vacuum cleaner for fine dust, combustible powders, and hazardous particulates.

Portable and Durable Industrial Vacuum Design
Despite its powerful performance and safety certification, the Delfin MTL201 ATEX vacuum cleaner remains compact and easy to manoeuvre. Its robust industrial steel construction ensures durability in demanding manufacturing environments, while the portable design allows operators to easily move the vacuum between workstations, machinery, and production areas.
This combination of durability, portability, and safety certification makes the MTL201 a practical solution for companies seeking a reliable industrial vacuum system for hazardous dust environments.
