Enquire nowAerospace manufacturing operations including 3D printing, composite component production, metal fabrication, paint spraying, plastic injection moulding, and powder coating can generate fine explosive metallic dusts, combustible chemical dusts and polymer plastic particles.
These contaminants must be effectively managed to ensure compliance with industry standards and legal requirements including COSHH and DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations).
Kerstar manufactures a wide range of ATEX rated industrial vacuum cleaners suitable for cleaning up potentially explosive dust and debris in Dust Zones 21 & 22 and Gas Zones 1 & 2.
Kerstar also offers a number of Class H vacuums to safely dispose of hazardous dust, as well as non-ATEX models for standard cleaning applications. Products include electric and compressed air powered models to suit all requirements.
In addition to general housekeeping and contamination control, Kerstar industrial vacuum cleaners play a key role in tool mounted dust extraction across aerospace manufacturing environments. Many aerospace facilities rely heavily on pneumatic tools - particularly for drilling, grinding, sanding and composite trimming - and our vacuums can be directly connected to these tools to extract dust and debris at source.
This approach not only protects operators but also helps maintain precision tolerances by preventing dust ingress during critical manufacturing processes.
Our product range includes ATEX rated and non ATEX vacuum solutions suitable for the safe collection of both liquids and solid materials, making them an excellent fit for the wide variety of contaminants found in aerospace operations - such as metallic dusts, composite fibres, coolants, and swarf.
