Compressed Air Vacuums
The KAV range of portable compressed air powered vacuum cleaners includes a handheld model to remove a wide variety of debris.
The unique features across all of the products are a fully conductive accessory kit, stainless steel canisters mounted on a stainless steel caddy fitted with conductive braked castors and wheels.
Each machine is issued with an earth path continuity certificate and where applicable the Type H versions include a filtration test certificate.
Electric Vacuums
The KEVA range of Type H vacuum cleaners has been purposely designed, built, tested and approved as suitable to pick up potentially explosive and conductive dust and debris in a Dust Zone 22. KEVA cleaners are also suitable for picking up dust and debris that is hazardous to health.
All models are built using an electronically commutated brushless motor featuring soft start and thermal protection. Each model in the range is equipped with three stages of filtration on the negative pressure (suction) side of the motor.
