ATEX Pressure Washers for Hazardous Industrial Environments

Fussen ATEX pressure washers are designed for professional high-pressure cleaning in industrial environments where flammable gases, vapors, or other potentially explosive atmospheres may be present. They provide the cleaning performance required for demanding industrial applications while incorporating explosion-proof electrical components suitable for hazardous working conditions.

Our explosion-proof high-pressure washer range includes multiple pressure and flow configurations for different cleaning requirements, from routine equipment cleaning to demanding high-pressure surface preparation. Available configurations can be supplied with optional ATEX, Exd IIB T4 Gb, and Exd IIC T4 Gb certification according to project requirements.

Fussen ATEX pressure washer solutions are particularly suited to industries such as:

  • Oil and gas facilities
  • Petrochemical and chemical plants
  • Refineries
  • Fuel storage and handling facilities
  • Industrial plants with designated hazardous areas
  • Other facilities requiring explosion-protected cleaning equipment

With working pressures available from approximately 150 bar up to 1000 bar, Fussen offers several explosion-proof pressure washer series to match different cleaning tasks, required flow rates, and operating conditions.

Built for Safe and Reliable High-Pressure Cleaning

Unlike a conventional electric pressure washer, equipment operating in a potentially explosive atmosphere may require specially designed electrical components to reduce ignition risks. Fussen explosion-proof models incorporate features such as explosion-proof motors and control boxes, together with industrial high-pressure plunger pumps and robust machine construction.

Depending on the model, additional features include stainless steel components, safety valves, water tanks, high-precision filtration, pressure regulating systems, and heavy-duty frames.

Whether you need a compact system for routine plant cleaning or a higher-pressure machine for demanding industrial maintenance, Fussen can help configure the pressure, flow rate, pump materials, and explosion-protection requirements around your application.

ATEX vs Standard Industrial Pressure Washers

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.

Understanding Exd IIB T4 Gb and Exd IIC T4 Gb Options

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.

How Much Pressure Does an ATEX Pressure Washer Need?

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 SeriesAvailable Pressure RangeTypical Positioning
FAE-EX150–250 barGeneral industrial high-pressure cleaning
FBE-EX250–350 barHeavier industrial cleaning
FCE-EX350–600 barHeavy-duty cleaning and demanding surface work
FDE-EX500–1000 barVery 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.

How to Choose an ATEX Pressure Washer

Before selecting an explosion-proof high-pressure washer, consider five main factors.

1. Hazardous-Area Requirements

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.

2. Required Working Pressure

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.

3. Required Water Flow

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.

4. Pump and Machine Materials

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.

5. Accessories

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.

Why Pressure and Flow Rate Should Be Considered Together

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About ATEX Pressure Washers

What is an ATEX pressure washer?

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.

Does every Fussen explosion-proof pressure washer have ATEX certification?

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.

What is the maximum pressure available?

Within Fussen's current explosion-proof washer range, the FDE-EX series offers configurations reaching 1000 bar / 100 MPa / 14,500 PSI.

What is the difference between FAE-EX, FBE-EX, FCE-EX and FDE-EX?

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.

Can Fussen help select the correct ATEX pressure washer?

Yes. Selection should consider the required working pressure, flow rate, cleaning application, electrical supply, operating environment, and applicable explosion-protection requirements.

What information should I provide when requesting a quotation?

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.

Find the Right ATEX Pressure Washer for Your Application

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.
