Vacuums for Explosive Powders in Ordinary Locations

Portable Industrial Vacuums Electric and Pneumatic. Compliant with NFPA 652 standard for explosive powders. Popular in Pharma and Food Applications.

Powerful vacuuming solutions when you don't have 3 phase power or a 30HP compressor.

Operating with a ½” airline, the new Tiger-Vac AVSD-1/2 (60L/100L) dual venturi system has twice the suction of a traditional pneumatic vacuum. Until now you would need a 30 HP compressor and a 1" airline to get this kind of vacuuming power. This new unique dual venturi design only requires a ½" airline and a 20 HP compressor.

The Tiger-Vac TV-200 / TV-200S (DT) MFS HEPA ORDLOC-652 delivers 270 cfm from 120V. The main bag filter has a manual shaker handle on the outside of the unit for easy cleaning. The dust falls off the filter and into the hopper. The final stage is a HEPA located under the motor deck.

The NFPA 652 compliant design includes a conductive star shaped main filter (MFS System) and a static conductive hose and tool kit that includes a 2” x 15’ conductive hose.

Perfect for:

Non-metallic XP dust in ORDLOC areas. Food industry, machine shops, Plastics industry, Ceramics industry, printing, textiles, heavy clean-up, etc.

FAQ Section

What kind of motor do I need for all day use with no stopping?

For all day, or multiple shift continuous vacuuming, you need a continuous-duty vacuum with a regenerative TEFC induction motor. TEFC stands for Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled.

What is a "regen" blower?

Lifespan: 20 + years with proper care. Our continuous-duty vacuums have “regen” or regenerative induction motors. These are the old fashioned production motors that have a primary winding that induces a current in a secondary winding. We recommend this type of motor if you are running 2 shifts non-stop. Newer carbon brush, and brushless type, have a purpose in that they are inexpensive and they can deliver a lot of power, but for a finite period. Regenerative type are generally superior and they last forever.

What is a carbon brush motor?

Lifespan: 1000 to 2000 hrs. A carbon brush motor will burn fast, hot and out. It is an inexpensive way to get a lot of power for a finite period of time. They are good for intermittent duty applications but they will go into thermal shutdown when they heat up as there isn’t a cooling fan. The brushes in the motors we use can be replaced quite easily and inexpensively. After changing the brushes the motor is not as powerful though.

What is an explosion-proof motor?

An electric motor is considered explosion-proof when it is capable of containing an internal explosion without rupturing and putting the entire industrial facility at risk. Tiger-Vac® explosion-proof vacuums are legally certified explosion proof/dust ignition proof by NRTL.

What is "brushless motor"

Brushless motors have been around since the 1960s, being used in industrial and manufacturing applications for [motors that drive] conveyor belts. These are more efficient than carbon brush type motors and have up to 11,000 to 15,000 hrs run time. They are not suitable for all day running, but they can run for a lot longer time span than carbon brush motors can.

Who do I call for parts or service?

Controlled Air Design are in Raleigh, NC. We can be reached locally at (919) 607-6765 or (800) 635-0298 and sales@controlledairdesign.com

Are these vacuums explosion-proof?

We carry both explosion-proof and non XP depending on what the application calls for. 

What is NRTL?

OSHA created the Nationally Recognized Testing Lab (NRTL) program to ensure that certain types of equipment be tested and certified for their safe use in the workplace. A Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) is a private-sector organization that OSHA has recognized as meeting the legal requirements in 29 CFR 1910.7 to perform testing and certification of products using consensus based test standards. An organization must have the necessary capability both as a product safety testing laboratory and as a product certification body to receive OSHA recognition as an NRTL. To find out more about the OSHA NRTL program, please follow this link to the OSHA website: https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/nrtllist.html

What are "conductive vacuum tools and hose"? and what is the difference between a grounded hose and a hose that conducts static?

​Our Static Conductive Vac Tools and Hoses are impregnated with a high concentration of conductive resins, such as carbon black and various conductive urethane resins. Our Statmax Conductive vac hoses specification sheets contain resistance readings that show the concentration of conductive resins used: https://www.controlledairdesign.com/images/uploads/files/StatMax_YL_1.pdf

For applications where a grounding wire is called for we have the food grade StatMax with copper grounding wire: https://www.controlledairdesign.com/products/hoses-tools/statmax-grounded

Can you better explain what NFPA Divisions and Classes mean?

Click on THIS LINK for more information.

Can you better explain what is NFPA 652 Compliance for Vacuums and Dust Collectors?

NFPA 652 requires all facilities handling combustible dust, even in NON-Classified environments, to use vacuum systems that meet very specific design requirements as laid out in NFPA 652 Section 8.4.2.2.

The standard identifies 7 specific requirements:

• The materials of construction must be conductive, except in a few specific circumstances.
• Hoses must be conductive or static dissipative.
• All conductive components, including wands and attachments, must be bonded and grounded.
• Dust-laden air must not pass through the fan or blower.
• Electrical motors must not be in the dust-laden air stream unless listed for Class II, Division I, locations.
• Paper filter elements aren’t allowed for picking up liquids or wet materials.
• Vacuum systems used for metal dust must meet the requirements of NFPA 484, which is the standard for combustible metals.
