THE MINIMUM LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR
DUST AND SAWDUST VACUUM CLEANERS
BE PART OF M
WHY M-CLASS?
PROOF OF M-CLASS
M-Class certified equipment has the following benefits:
Have sufficient air velocity to extract, transport and collect dust.
Have sufficient filtration to ensure that you don’t pump dangerous dust back into the air.
Unrated vacuum cleaners can exhaust up to 85% of the dangerous/respirable dust back
into your breathing space.
Have a safe waste disposal method.
M-Class certified equipment must:
Have a clear method of notifying the user when the air flow drops below 20 metres per second
(this is normally an audible or visual signal). Without a method of notifying you about low air
flow, you could have your extractor connected but not be extracting harmful dust because
your bag is full or your filter is blocked.
Have a minimum filter efficiency of 99.9% and a minimum of H12 HEPA (High-Efficiency
Particulate Arrestance) Filtration.
To be safe the V-TUF
®
M uses HEPA H13 grade.
Have an airtight air-channel to ensure that contaminated air does not bypass the filter.
This includes no holes in the filter and a total air-tight seal.
Have a dust bag with a ‘shut off’ tap. This provides safe collection
and easy disposal of bulk waste. This also protects the filter and
reduces the time it takes to clog up.
Have a safe method of cleaning the filter. For example: a filter
shaker or a system where water/air can be used (bear in mind
that the filter must only be cleaned in
an isolated air space!)
