Delfin SEP.EX-001 INERT Separator for ATEX Industrial Vacuums
ATEX Certified Inert Separator for the Safe Collection of Reactive & Combustible Dust
The Delfin SEP.EX-001 INERT Separator is a specialist ATEX certified inert separator designed to improve the safe collection of combustible, reactive and potentially explosive dust. Installed upstream of an industrial vacuum cleaner, it uses an advanced inert fluid bath to neutralise hazardous dust during collection, significantly reducing the risk of ignition while providing an additional layer of protection for both operators and equipment.
Developed for demanding industrial applications involving reactive metal dust such as aluminium, titanium and magnesium, the SEP.EX-001 INERT not only improves safety but also extends vacuum cleaner life, reduces filter maintenance and increases overall collection efficiency. Its fully stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance for long-term industrial use.

What Makes the Delfin SEP.EX-001 INERT Different?
Integrated Inert Fluid System for Hazardous Dust Neutralisation
The defining feature of the SEP.EX-001 INERT is its advanced inert fluid bath, specifically developed to safely neutralise combustible and reactive dust during collection.
As dust passes through the separator, it is immersed within the inert fluid, significantly reducing the possibility of ignition, combustion or explosive reactions before entering the connected vacuum system.
Suitable for collecting:
- Aluminium dust
- Titanium dust
- Magnesium dust
- Reactive metal powders
- Combustible industrial dust
Key benefits include:
- Safely neutralises reactive dust during collection
- Helps reduce ignition risk
- Increases process safety
- Protects the connected vacuum cleaner
- Ideal for hazardous industrial environments

Multi-Stage Filtration for Improved Vacuum Performance
The SEP.EX-001 INERT incorporates an effective multi-stage filtration system that reduces the volume of material reaching the vacuum cleaner filters.
Filtration benefits include:
- Reduces filter loading
- Maintains high suction performance
- Increases overall collection capacity
- Helps lower filter replacement costs
- Improves overall vacuum efficiency
By reducing the workload placed on the vacuum’s filtration system, the separator helps maintain consistent performance even during demanding industrial cleaning applications.
