Nilfisk VHC110 Z1 ATEX Compressed Air Vacuum

The Nilfisk VHC110 Z1 ATEX Compressed Air Vacuum is a specialist explosion-protected industrial vacuum designed for use in ATEX Zone 1 environments, where the highest levels of safety and compliance are required. Unlike electrically powered units, the VHC110 operates using a compressed air (pneumatic) feed to generate vacuum, making it ideal for hazardous areas where electrical equipment is restricted.

Utilising advanced pneumatic technology, the VHC110 delivers high suction performance while significantly reducing compressed air consumption, improving efficiency and lowering operating costs. This innovative design ensures reliable and powerful dust and material recovery while maintaining strict ATEX compliance.

The vacuum is fitted with a 37-litre waste container featuring an easy-empty drop-down design, allowing safe and efficient disposal of collected material. A large anti-static star filter, combined with an on-board manual filter cleaning system, ensures consistent airflow and effective filtration during operation, even in demanding industrial environments.

The Nilfisk VHC110 Z1 is available in multiple configuration options, including upstream and downstream filtration systems and full stainless steel construction, allowing the machine to be tailored to specific applications and process requirements. Designed for robustness, flexibility, and maximum safety, the VHC110 Z1 is an ideal solution for chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food production, and other high-risk ATEX Zone 1 applications.
