Explosion-Proof for Every Space
We’re proud to offer this explosion-proof, anti-static compressed air vacuum from HafcoVac. This vacuum was designed to be safe for Class I, II, and III, Division 1 and 2 environments. Even with combustible material in the air, the vacuum’s construction and convenient grounding means the vacuum operates safely.
Power and Versatility in One
This vacuum was made to be the only vacuum you need for potentially hazardous spaces. Able to easily handle wet or dry applications, and the optional extension kits allow you to extend your vacuum’s reach up to 18’. An optional silencer lets you dampen the noise to only 77 dB, while the included crevice tool lets you get into hard-to-reach areas.
No Electricity or Moving Parts
Using the power of compressed air, this vacuum eliminates the risk of running an electric-powered vacuum in hazardous spaces. The right model of vacuum depends on your available compressed air supply. We’ve included a chart below to help you determine the right model for you. The lack of moving parts on the vacuum means there’s no parts to wear out, replace, or give off sparks.
Don’t sacrifice safety for performance.
With the explosion-proof compressed-air vacuum from HafcoVac, you can clean potentially hazardous spaces while keeping your work crews safe.

FAQ's:
Which model do I need? The 48CFM, 85CFM or the 185CFM?
- It depends on your air supply. See chart below for recommendations. Your typical garage air compressor will not run these vacuums.
What size vacuum should I get?
- Both drum sizes will perform virtually the same. It all comes down to how much space you want to take up with the vacuum.
Is this the right vacuum for my application?
- We recommend each customer consult with a professional safety consultant to determine whether or not this unit is appicable to their particular situation. In general, this vacuum is rated as safe for use in Class I, II, III Division 1 & 2 envronments.
Can I get a longer hose?
- Yes, but please be sure it's a static conductive hose, and not just a standard hose. We have 2 options availale.
- Or if you selected our 2" model
Air Supply Info:
- This vacuum runs on compressed air, and if not already present at your facility, can require require an investment of a sizable air compressor to operate properly
- The air compressor used to run the vacuum must be able to deliver a minimum of our rated CFM @ 90 PSI.
- The Vacuum will work if air supply are not to specifications but the optimal performance of the vacuums will be greatly reduced.
- If you think you'll be on the lower end of the recommended CFM, we recommend going with a 48CFM unit as it will function much better than a 85CFM unit with only 50CFM of air available.

About:
- HafcoVac explosion proof vacuums are safe for use as part of a combustible dust control program and are suitable for many flammable and combustible materials. With no motors to arc and no moving parts to create friction or spark, our non-electric explosion proof vacuums are a safe, reliable and cost effective solution for your business.
- HafcoVac Explosion Proof Units bond all components of the vacuum together, ensuring no part is left isolated from its path to ground. When used in conjunction with our MSHA approved static conductive hose, a HafcoVac explosion proof vacuum is an economical alternative to other products which often sell for many times the cost
- With performance uncompromised by explosion proof safeguards, an upgrade to an explosion proof model will perform with the same power HafcoVac is known for. Best of all, you don’t have to sacrifice your budget to protect your business and employees
- If you are unsure if dust ignition proof vacuum equipment is necessary for your application or facility, a First Place Supply representative will gladly provide a thorough application analysis to ensure appropriate product selection
- HEPA filters, (High Efficiency Particulate Air), are available for all HafcoVac industrial vacuums. They are often required by OSHA, DEP, EPA and others. Typical HEPA cleaner applications include, but not limited to: Asbestos abatement, lead paint recovery, mining, power generation, and food processing.
- HEPA filters are manufactured to True (Absolute) HEPA standards, 99.97% efficient at .3 micron. At these percentages, you can rest assured your staff safety is accounted for.
- All pneumatic vacuums operate using compressed air, not electricity! Compressed air provides customers with a number of advantages including:
- Safer
- More reliable
- More power
- Energy efficient
- Variable power
