The fundamental cleaning principle remains the same: a high-pressure pump pressurizes water and delivers it through a hose, gun, and nozzle.
The important difference is the operating environment.
A standard industrial electric pressure washer may be suitable for factories, workshops, construction sites, and other normal industrial environments. Where an explosive atmosphere may be present, however, electrical equipment can require appropriate explosion protection.
Fussen's EX series therefore incorporates features such as explosion-proof motors and explosion-proof electrical control systems while maintaining the high-pressure cleaning capabilities required for industrial work.
Fussen's explosion-proof pressure washers are available with optional ATEX, Exd IIB T4 Gb, and Exd IIC T4 Gb certification according to project requirements.
These markings should not be treated simply as product features. They relate to the type of explosion protection and the conditions for which equipment is intended.
For this reason, buyers should provide Fussen with the hazardous-area classification and certification requirements for their project before selecting a machine.
Fussen can then determine which equipment configuration is appropriate for the intended installation.
Higher pressure is not automatically better. The appropriate combination of pressure and water flow depends on what needs to be removed, the surface being cleaned, required productivity, and operating conditions.
Fussen's explosion-proof range covers several performance levels:
| Fussen Series | Available Pressure Range | Typical Positioning |
|---|---|---|
| FAE-EX | 150–250 bar | General industrial high-pressure cleaning |
| FBE-EX | 250–350 bar | Heavier industrial cleaning |
| FCE-EX | 350–600 bar | Heavy-duty cleaning and demanding surface work |
| FDE-EX | 500–1000 bar | Very high-pressure industrial cleaning |
For example, the FAE-EX range offers models from 150 to 250 bar with flow rates of 15–18 L/min, while the FDE-EX extends to 1000 bar and includes higher-pressure configurations for substantially more demanding cleaning work.
The correct machine should therefore be selected around the cleaning task rather than simply specifying the highest available pressure.
Before selecting an explosion-proof high-pressure washer, consider five main factors.
Determine where the machine will operate and what explosion-protection requirements apply to that location.
This should be established before choosing the pressure washer model.
Different contaminants and surfaces require different cleaning intensities.
Fussen's EX range progresses from 150-bar configurations through to models capable of reaching 1000 bar, allowing equipment to be matched more closely to the application.
Pressure alone does not determine cleaning productivity.
Flow rate affects the amount of water delivered to the surface and can be particularly important when removing larger volumes of loosened contamination.
Fussen EX configurations range from approximately 15 L/min to 36 L/min depending on model and operating pressure.
Operating conditions can influence material selection.
Fussen offers different pump configurations across the EX range, including nickel-plated brass, brass, and stainless steel options on applicable models. Higher-pressure configurations can incorporate stainless steel high-pressure pumps.
The cleaning tool at the end of the system is just as important as the pump.
Depending on the application, equipment can be configured with high-pressure hoses, high-pressure guns, fan-shaped nozzles, rotating nozzles, and other suitable accessories.
One of the most common mistakes when specifying an industrial pressure washer is focusing entirely on PSI or bar.
Pressure determines the intensity with which the water reaches the surface, while flow determines how much water is available to carry loosened material away.
This means two pressure washers operating at the same pressure can perform differently if their flow rates are substantially different.
For an ATEX pressure washer, the objective should therefore be to identify the appropriate pressure + flow + nozzle + explosion-protection configuration for the cleaning task.
Fussen has specialized in high-pressure water jet technology since 2001 and develops high-pressure pumps and complete cleaning systems for demanding industrial applications.
Fussen's EX series covers working pressures from approximately 150 to 1000 bar, allowing buyers to select equipment for different levels of industrial cleaning.
The EX series uses explosion-proof motors and electrical control systems designed for applications requiring additional protection in potentially explosive environments.
Optional ATEX, Exd IIB T4 Gb, and Exd IIC T4 Gb configurations are available according to project requirements.
Fussen develops high-pressure plunger pumps using ceramic or alloy steel plungers depending on the application, together with sealing and filtration systems designed for reliable industrial operation.
Beyond the pressure washer itself, Fussen provides high-pressure hoses, guns, nozzles, filters, and other accessories, allowing the cleaning system to be configured around the customer's application.
Fussen operates under the ISO 9001 quality management system, and its high-pressure washer products are CE certified. The company's equipment is supplied to markets including Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America.
An ATEX pressure washer is a high-pressure cleaning system configured for applications where potentially explosive atmospheres may be present and suitable explosion protection is required.
ATEX certification is listed as an optional configuration for Fussen's explosion-proof pressure washer range. Buyers should provide their project certification and hazardous-area requirements when requesting equipment.
Within Fussen's current explosion-proof washer range, the FDE-EX series offers configurations reaching 1000 bar / 100 MPa / 14,500 PSI.
The primary difference is their available pressure, flow, power, construction, and equipment configuration. FAE-EX covers approximately 150–250 bar, FBE-EX 250–350 bar, FCE-EX 350–600 bar, and FDE-EX 500–1000 bar.
Yes. Selection should consider the required working pressure, flow rate, cleaning application, electrical supply, operating environment, and applicable explosion-protection requirements.
For faster equipment selection, provide your required pressure and flow rate if known, cleaning application, material or contamination being removed, available electrical supply, operating environment, hazardous-area requirements, required certification, and any special accessory requirements.
Selecting an explosion-proof pressure washer requires the right combination of cleaning performance and hazardous-area requirements.
Fussen offers multiple explosion-proof high-pressure washer configurations from 150 to 1000 bar, allowing systems to be selected according to pressure, flow rate, electrical requirements, operating conditions, and required explosion-protection configuration.
Send Fussen your application, required pressure and flow, power supply, hazardous-area classification, and certification requirements to identify the appropriate pressure washer configuration for your project.
