CTS26 C2D2

Continuous duty operation for collecting combustible dusts in Class II Division 2 rated work environments.

The CTS26 C2D2 three phase, continuous duty  vacuum is ideal for collecting potentially combustible dusts and can be outfitted for a wide range of industrial applications. Standard equipment includes an antistatic polyester star filter with a 21 sq ft surface area, and can be upgraded to alternative filter media options. An upstream HEPA  filter is standard on some models and can be easily added to others to stop fine or harmful dusts from passing through the vacuum. The standard stainless steel container and fully bonded and grounded chassis, combined with compliance to the strict electrical requirements for portable vacuums to be operated in Class II Division 2 environments deliver optimal operator safety. Even if the work area is not rated, but the debris is a combustibility concern, the CTS 26provides an added measure of safety and meets NFPA guidelines for operating in non-rated environments. All are equipped with a manometer that indicates when the main filter requires cleaning and the top mounted manual filter shaker lets the operator de-dust the filter without disassembling the machine.

  • Third party certified for Class II Division 2
  • Continuous duty, 2.6 kW side channel blower
  • Stainless steel 50 liter container
  • Large antistatic polyester main filter
  • Available upstream HEPA
  • Available downstream ULPA
