ATEX Ultra Pole System

The ATEX Ultra 38mm system is designed for hazardous environments where combustible dust accumulation presents a potential fire or explosion risk.

It is particularly suited to large industrial facilities where operators need to clean elevated structures at significant heights while maintaining ATEX compliance.

Typical applications include food manufacturing plants, grain processing facilities, pharmaceutical environments, recycling centres, chemical processing operations, battery manufacturing sites, woodworking facilities and other workplaces operating within ATEX-classified zones.

The system is designed for the safe removal of combustible dust, debris and contamination from elevated surfaces including:

• Roof beams and structural steelwork
  
• Pipework
  
• Ducting and ventilation systems
  
• Cable trays
  
• Lighting gantries
  
• Production equipment exteriors
  
• Conveyor systems
  
• Storage racking top
• Ceilings and overhead structures

The extensive range of conductive heads, brushes and specialist tools allows operators to adapt the system to a wide variety of industrial cleaning applications.

The ATEX Ultra has been developed for operators requiring maximum reach while maintaining excellent control and manoeuvrability.

The Ultra poles utilise an advanced carbon fibre construction that is lighter than the ATEX Pro system while offering increased rigidity. This allows operators to work at significantly greater heights with improved handling characteristics and reduced fatigue.

For facilities with very high ceilings or difficult-to-access overhead structures, the ATEX Ultra is often the preferred solution.

The ATEX Ultra poles are manufactured using a high-performance carbon fibre construction combining high modulus carbon, 3K 2×2 twill carbon and standard modulus carbon.

This advanced construction provides exceptional strength and rigidity while keeping pole weight to a minimum.

In hazardous dust environments, controlling static electricity is an important part of reducing ignition risks.

The conductive carbon fibre construction helps dissipate static charges safely through the cleaning system during operation, supporting safe cleaning practices when removing combustible dust from elevated surfaces.

The fully conductive system helps maintain conductivity from the cleaning head through to the vacuum system.

The ATEX Ultra 38mm system includes a comprehensive range of conductive cleaning accessories, including:

• Conductive straight cleaning head
  
• Conductive 45° cleaning head
  
• Conductive 90° cleaning head
  
• Conductive 135° cleaning head
  
• Conductive flat surface tool
  
• Conductive large round brush
  
• Conductive small pipe brush
  
• Conductive crevice tool
  
• Conductive hose and adaptors
  
• Padded pole bag
  
• Hose bag and mesh accessory bag

This allows operators to safely clean a wide range of elevated structures and difficult-to-access surfaces.

The ATEX Ultra 38mm system should be paired with an appropriately certified industrial vacuum suitable for the hazardous area classification being cleaned.

SpaceVac commonly recommends compatible systems from the TITAN ATEX and Mercury ACD vacuum ranges, depending on the application and ATEX zone requirements.

Additional conductive poles can be added to increase the system’s reach where required. The ATEX Ultra system can be extended by up to two additional poles, increasing the maximum working height to approximately 19.2m (63ft).

No.

The ATEX Ultra 38mm system is designed to allow operators to carry out routine high-level cleaning safely from ground level, significantly reducing reliance on ladders, scaffolding, mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) and other access equipment.

This can help improve efficiency, reduce disruption and minimise working-at-height risks.

Yes.

The ATEX Ultra is widely used by specialist industrial cleaning contractors, facilities management providers and in-house maintenance teams working within hazardous environments.

Its combination of exceptional reach, lightweight construction and ATEX-compliant design makes it particularly well suited to large-scale commercial and industrial cleaning programmes.

The ATEX Ultra 38mm system is designed for use in hazardous dust and gas environments when paired with appropriately certified vacuum equipment.

SpaceVac provides solutions suitable for ATEX gas Zones 0, 1 and 2 and dust Zones 20, 21 and 22, helping operators safely remove combustible dust from elevated surfaces while remaining safely at ground level.

Each ATEX Ultra 38mm cleaning pole weighs approximately 300 grams.

Despite its exceptional reach capabilities, the lightweight carbon fibre construction helps minimise operator fatigue while maintaining the rigidity required for effective cleaning at height.

The ATEX Ultra has been designed for operators who need maximum reach without compromising on control or safety.

Its lightweight construction, increased rigidity and ability to reach heights of up to 16m as standard make it particularly valuable in facilities with high ceilings, large production areas and extensive overhead infrastructure.

For organisations looking to safely clean elevated structures within hazardous environments while reducing reliance on access equipment, the ATEX Ultra represents SpaceVac’s highest-reaching ATEX cleaning system.
