ATEX High-Level Cleaning Systems
Cleaning combustible dust shouldn’t mean compromising safety, compliance or productivity.
Facilities operating in ATEX and IECEx classified hazardous environments face the challenge of controlling combustible dust accumulating on overhead pipework, ducting, cable trays, structural steel and production equipment. Traditional cleaning methods can require scaffolding, MEWPs or access platforms, increasing costs and disrupting production.
SpaceVac ATEX high-level cleaning systems enable operators to remove combustible dust safely from ground level using conductive carbon fibre pole technology, anti-static accessories and certified industrial vacuum systems. This helps reduce reliance on access equipment, minimise downtime and support safer, more efficient housekeeping programmes.
Manufactured in our IECEx-certified UK facility, our systems are engineered for use across ATEX and IECEx classified environments, with solutions for different combustible dust types, working heights and applications across industries including food production, pharmaceuticals, chemical processing, grain handling, woodworking and industrial manufacturing.

Suitable for a wide range of industries
ATEX Zones Explained
Hazardous environments are classified into ATEX zones based on the level of risk from flammable gases or combustible dust.
Gas Zones
- Zone 0: Explosive atmosphere present continuously or for long periods
- Zone 1: Likely to occur during normal operation
- Zone 2: Unlikely, but possible for short durations
Dust Zones
- Zone 20: Combustible dust present continuously
- Zone 21: Likely during normal operation
- Zone 22: Occurs occasionally and for short periods
Using correctly specified ATEX cleaning equipment ensures safe cleaning in these environments without increasing the risk of ignition.

Reduce Explosion Risk from Combustible Dust
Combustible dust is one of the leading causes of industrial fires and explosions.
Dust accumulation on high-level surfaces can:
- Become airborne during disturbance
- Ignite when exposed to sparks or heat sources
- Lead to serious damage to facilities and equipment
Using professional explosion proof cleaning equipment helps remove dust safely at source, reducing the risk of ignition and protecting both people and infrastructure.
Regular high-level cleaning is essential for maintaining a safe working environment in hazardous industries.
Where Combustible Dust Accumulates in Hazardous Environments
These systems are commonly used in industries where combustible dust accumulation presents a serious safety risk.
Effective use of ATEX cleaning equipment helps facilities manage dust build-up and maintain safer working conditions in hazardous environments.
Typical high-level dust accumulation areas include:
- Overhead pipework and ducting
- Cable trays and lighting fixtures
- Structural beams and roof trusses
- Ventilation systems and extraction ducting
- Equipment frameworks and conveyors
Regular high level cleaning using hazardous area cleaning equipment helps reduce combustible dust risks, support compliance and ensure safer day-to-day facility operation.
