Tiger-Vac EXP1-10/15 (4W) RE
The Tiger-Vac EXP1-10/15 (4W) RE is the versatile workhorse of the EXP1 line, certified II 2GD to EN 17348 DT/LC for dry recovery of combustible dust or wet recovery of flammable and non-flammable liquids, but never a mixture of dust and liquid. Available in two container sizes: EXP1-10 with 22.7 L dust / 28.5 L liquid, and EXP1-15 with 38 L dust / 47.3 L liquid. All other specifications are identical, so the choice is purely one of capacity and height (84 cm vs 97 cm). H14 HEPA filter and ISO Class 4 cleanroom compatibility are standard on both.

Questions and answers
What does II 2GD mean in the ATEX marking?
II 2GD means category 2 for both gas and dust. The unit may be used in areas where explosive atmospheres OCCASIONALLY occur during normal operation, i.e. external Zone 1 for gas and Zone 21 for dust. Category 2 does NOT cover the interior of the equipment (Zone 0/20); that requires category 1. EN 17348:2022 is the harmonised standard that specifies test requirements for vacuums in this category.
What is the difference between EXP1-10 and EXP1-15?
All specifications are identical (motor, vacuum, airflow, filter class and ATEX marking) except tank size and therefore height. EXP1-10: 22.7 L dust / 28.5 L liquid, 84 cm tall, 31 kg. EXP1-15: 38 L dust / 47.3 L liquid, 97 cm tall, 37 kg. The choice is purely capacity and available headroom/floor footprint.
Which liquids may I pick up?
The machine may collect both flammable and non-flammable liquids, e.g. water, acetone and alcohols (EN 17348 DT/LC). For flammable liquids the KANAFLEX hose must be used, and it is not compatible with gasoline, benzene or toluene. Corrosive liquids must not be collected. The machine is for dust or liquid, never a mixture, and the tank, filter and hose must be cleaned and completely dry before switching to a different liquid.
Is the HEPA filter standard or optional?
HEPA H14 to EN 1822-5 (99.995 % MPPS at 0.3 µm) is standard on this model.
How is the collected material handled safely?
The conductive poly liner (212100A / 212100B) is placed in the container before use. When the dust has been collected, the liner is sealed and disposed of without direct contact. This is critical for both occupational safety and ATEX hygiene, because the liner is static dissipative and cannot build electrostatic charge during disposal. Always keep the same ESD chain on bags, hoses and accessories, and always ground the unit during operation.
Can I switch between dry and wet during the same task?
Yes, but fit the liquid filter 211010 before wet recovery, and empty the tank fully before returning to dry recovery. Primary filter 211013 and pre-filter 212008 must be in good condition and dry during dry recovery to preserve HEPA efficiency.
