Drum Top Vacuum
DTV Series

Drum Top Vacuum — Reversible Ultra

The Spillrite air operated reversible two way vacuums come in many models and power ratings. The unique reverse jet system allows both vacuuming and reverse filter clean or reverse fluid pump out in a single unit.

The high powered ULTRA drum vacuums use a jet and venturi combination — primary jet creates the vacuum, secondary jet (activated by a ball valve) converts the unit into a reverse fluid pump out system.

  • Reverse filter clean — no downtime
  • Triple reverse thruster venturi design
  • Tested at Eraring & Millmerran Power Stations
  • Handles fly ash, coal dust, abrasive blast media
  • ATEX & UKCA EX certified

Anti-Static & ATEX

Explosion Proof Vacuums for
Hazardous Locations

Many situations require an explosion proof vacuum system that will not ignite flammable fluid or explosive and combustible dust. Spillrite anti-static vacuums are designed for the most demanding classified environments.

Anti-Static ATEX Vacuum
ATEX Anti-Static Series

Anti-Static Explosion Proof Vacuum Systems

Spillrite anti-static vacuums prevent static electricity causing an explosion. With no moving parts, heating elements or electrical current, the vacuums cannot produce static electricity — and any build-up caused by friction in the suction hose will dissipate instantly through the installed grounding features.

  • Anti-static cyclone capture system
  • Grounded suction hose — static dissipates instantly
  • ATEX certified for Zone 1 & Zone 2
  • No moving parts — zero spark risk
  • Suitable for combustible dust & flammable fuels
Hazardous Location Applications Grain silos · Food manufacturing · Oil wells · Fuel distribution · Offshore drilling platforms · Toner cartridge recycling · Defence establishments · Powder coating facilities

ATEX Requirements

Why Compressed Air Vacuums Are the Only Safe Choice in Hazardous Zones

⚡

No Heating Elements

Electric motors generate heat. In explosive atmospheres, even a small heat source can trigger ignition. Spillrite air-operated vacuums have zero heating elements by design.

🔩

No Moving Parts

Rotating components create friction, wear, and the potential for sparks. Spillrite vacuums operate entirely on compressed air — no bearings, no brushes, nothing that moves.

🛡

No Spark Potential

Without electrical current, motors, or mechanical movement, there is no mechanism capable of producing a spark — satisfying the core requirement of ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 certification.

🌍

ATEX — Europe

ATEX directive certification for equipment approved for use in explosive atmospheres across the EU. Required for Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified environments.

🇬🇧

UKCA EX — United Kingdom

UKCA EX is the UK's post-Brexit replacement for ATEX certification. Spillrite vacuums carry both certifications — fully compliant for UK and European markets.

🔬

Anti-Static Grounding

All anti-static models feature grounded metal components throughout the suction path — lid, lock ring, hose fittings, and drum — ensuring any triboelectric charge dissipates safely to ground.

Compressed Air ATEX Vacuums

Certified Safe for Explosive
Atmospheres

A compressed air ATEX vacuum cleaner requires specific characteristics to achieve explosion proof certification. Spillrite pneumatic vacuums meet all requirements by design — not by modification.

RDLV ATEX Dry Filter Vacuum
RDLV ATEX Series

Drum Lid Vacuum — ATEX Dry Filter

The RDLV ATEX series features anti-static explosion proof dry filter installation. Each component in the suction path is designed to prevent static build-up and create a continuous grounding pathway from the suction point to the drum.

  • Anti-static claw coupling on air supply
  • Carbon or galvanised steel lid — creates static pathway
  • Metal drum lock ring — pathway between lid and drum
  • ATEX certified label on all units
  • Metal suction intake fittings throughout
  • Steel drum must be grounded — not placed on insulating matting

Combustible Dust HEPA Vacuum
Applications

Where Spillrite Vacuums Are Used

Air operated vacuum cleaners come in many different configurations and can be used for all wet and dry applications across a wide range of industries.

Combustible Dust Control

Grain silos, food manufacturing, flour mills — any facility where combustible dust accumulation creates explosion risk. ATEX certified for Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments.

Flammable Fluid Recovery

Oil spills, fuel transfers, chemical recovery. Anti-static construction prevents any chance of static electricity igniting flammable materials during recovery operations.

Power Station Maintenance

Fly ash, coal dust, and abrasive particulates. Reverse filter clean capability keeps the unit running continuously without filter change downtime. Proven at Eraring and Millmerran.

Abrasive Blast Media Recovery

Garnet, steel grit, and blast media recovery from enclosed spaces. High powered airflow handles abrasive materials that would destroy conventional vacuum equipment.

Toxic Dust — H-Class

Asbestos, lead, silica, and pharmaceutical compounds. H-Class HEPA exhaust filtration ensures the air leaving the machine is as clean as the air entering it.

Oil & Gas — Classified Zones

Offshore platforms, refineries, Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas where electric vacuums are prohibited. Air operation means no ignition risk regardless of the surrounding atmosphere.

Wet Industrial Waste

Grease, oils, coolants, chemicals and solvents. Drum lid configuration means collected waste stays in the drum — no transfer required. Reversible models pump fluid out when full.

Defence & Powder Coating

Spent gun powder, shell casings, powder paint and coating residue. Anti-static, explosion proof systems certified for use in sensitive industrial environments.
