In the ever-evolving aerospace manufacturing industry, precision, safety, and cleanliness are non-negotiable. Any contaminants or particulates can lead to critical defects and compromise the integrity of aerospace components. This is where the Puma 20 ATEX Z20/Z22, an industrial vacuum cleaner built to tackle harsh conditions and heavy materials, takes centre stage. In this blog post, we'll explore how this powerful cleaning solution can benefit aerospace manufacturers, ensuring they maintain the highest standards of quality and safety.


The Aerospace Challenge: Cleanliness and Precision


Aerospace manufacturing demands an environment that is pristine and devoid of contaminants. From the assembly of intricate components to the construction of cutting-edge aircraft and spacecraft, maintaining cleanliness is vital. This is where the Puma 20 ATEX Z20/Z22 proves its worth.


Introducing the Puma 20 ATEX Z20/Z22


The Puma 20 ATEX Z20/Z22 is an industrial vacuum cleaner designed to excel in harsh working conditions, making it an ideal choice for aerospace manufacturers. Let's delve into its key features that set it apart:


  1. Third-Party Certification (TUV): The Puma 20 ATEX Z20/Z22 boasts a third-party certification (TUV) that certifies its internal area as Z20. This certification is a testament to its suitability for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, a critical consideration in aerospace facilities.

  2. Dual-Stage Side Channel Blower: Equipped with a dual-stage side channel blower, this vacuum cleaner offers both high airflow and depression. This combination ensures efficient suction of heavy materials and fine powders alike.

  3. Safety Vacuum Breaker Valve: The inclusion of a safety vacuum breaker valve as a standard feature enhances operational safety by preventing over-pressurization.

  4. Efficient Cyclone Filtration: Inside the filtration chamber, a robust cyclone is welded, providing excellent efficiency, even with the finest powders. This cyclone system protects the filter by redirecting material away from it, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance needs.

  5. Customizable Filtration: The Puma 20 ATEX Z20/Z22 features a polyester filter certified to M class standards with a filtration efficiency of 1 µ. This filter can be tailored to meet the specific needs of aerospace manufacturing applications.

  6. Manual and Automatic Cleaning: The vacuum cleaner comes standard with a manual filter cleaning system, allowing users to easily and effectively shake the filter clean. An automatic counter-current filter cleaning system can also be configured upon request, minimizing downtime.

  7. Spacious Container: A robust 175-liter container, complete with a release system, simplifies the collection and disposal of vacuumed materials. Four pivoting wheels mounted on reinforced supports make handling effortless, even when dealing with heavy loads.

  8. Forklift Handling Kit: For added convenience, a forklift handling kit is available on request, making it a breeze to handle and unload the container, especially in settings where substantial amounts of material need to be disposed of.


Benefits for Aerospace Manufacturers


Now, let's explore how the Puma 20 ATEX Z20/Z22 can specifically benefit aerospace manufacturers:
