Nilfisk VHS120 LC ACD PBS CB4002 Combustible Dust Industrial Vacuum Cleaner

The Nilfisk VHS120 LC ACD PBS CB4002 has been developed for professional environments where combustible dust needs to be safely collected but the working area itself is not classified as an ATEX zone. Nilfisk describes the VHS120 ACD as its compact industrial solution for this type of application, and the machine is ACD-certified by a third party.

Power comes from two single-phase bypass motors producing a combined rated output of 2kW. Maximum airflow reaches 312m³/h (5,200L/min), while maximum vacuum is 210mbar, giving the machine substantial extraction performance despite its compact dimensions.

ACD Combustible Dust Collection

A key distinction with this model is its ACD classification. It is intended for combustible dust collection outside ATEX-classified zones; it should therefore not be described as a Zone 22/ATEX vacuum. Nilfisk specifically positions the VHS120 ACD range for combustible dust recovery in non-classified areas.

This makes the model particularly relevant where combustible dust is generated but the workplace assessment does not classify the cleaning area as an ATEX hazardous zone.

Food & Beverage Configuration

The 4012300188 CB4002 configuration is especially well equipped for food and beverage applications. Nilfisk's catalogue identifies this model for combustible dust in non-classified zones and specifies an antistatic food-grade accessory kit.

The manufacturer's current listing includes specialist accessories such as a mobile stainless-steel nozzle with FDA silicone, FDA silicone cone, stainless-steel handgrip, stainless-steel reducer and 5m D40 FDA antistatic hose.

Large Stainless-Steel Collection Tank

Collected material is stored inside a 37-litre stainless-steel container. Despite its substantial capacity, Nilfisk has designed the container to be easily removable for more convenient emptying and routine maintenance.

The machine also provides a 16,000cm² main filter area and a 50mm machine inlet.
