01 · Range Positioning
The higher-capacity system in the Novavac XZone range.
Built for industrial environments where dust is not just a cleanliness issue, but a safety risk. Use it when your operation involves combustible dust, hazardous particulate, or industrial processes where explosion-proof components, grounding, antistatic filtration, and higher airflow are required.
XZone 40
Smaller high-risk system for controlled high-risk extraction without overbuying. 4 kW class.
XZone 55
Higher-capacity high-risk fixed extraction. 5.5 kW three-phase, 5800 m³/h airflow, antistatic filtration, explosion-proof centrifugal fan.
Air 55
Standard high-volume fixed extraction. Same airflow class — without explosion-proof components.
This is not a standard Air Extraction system. It is a high-risk dust extraction system for environments where ordinary equipment is not acceptable.
02 · B2B Sales Positioning
In standard dust extraction, poor system choice creates performance problems. In high-risk environments, it creates safety problems.
The XZone 55 is built for businesses that need dust extraction selected around the risk profile of the environment — not just airflow and price.
Standard extraction creates risk
- Ignition risk
- Static discharge hazards
- Combustible dust accumulation
- Unsafe dust concentration
- Shutdown risk
- Non-compliant equipment selection
- Serious operational liability
Selected around the risk profile — not airflow and price
In standard dust extraction, poor system choice creates performance problems. In high-risk dust environments, poor system choice can create safety problems.
The XZone 55 is built for businesses that need dust extraction selected around the risk profile of the environment — combustible dust, static, ignition, zone classification — not airflow alone.
If the dust can burn, ignite, react, or create an explosive atmosphere — standard extraction is the wrong category.
03 · What It Solves
Combustible dust cannot be handled like ordinary production dust.
Once ignition risk, static build-up, or explosion-risk conditions are involved, the equipment decision changes completely. The XZone 55 was designed to address those specific conditions.
Combustible dust extraction requirements
Dust concentration control in industrial environments
Static risk through antistatic filtration and grounding
Fixed source capture in higher-risk production areas
Filter loading during continuous dust generation
Unsafe reliance on standard dust collectors
The need for explosion-proof extraction components
Continuous airflow under heavy dust load
When the dust risk changes, the system category must change.
04 · Best Fit
Best for high-risk fixed dust sources.
The XZone 55 is designed for industrial operations where dust extraction must be matched to combustible-dust or explosion-risk conditions. Buy it for that — not as a "stronger" general dust collector.
Choose XZone 55 when
- Combustible dust environments
- High-risk industrial production areas
- Fixed dust-generating processes
- Dust-generating machinery with ignition-risk concerns
- Manufacturing handling reactive or combustible particles
- Processing requiring antistatic and grounded extraction
- Facilities needing explosion-proof system components
- Operations upgrading from standard collectors into high-risk equipment
- Environments where XZone 40 doesn't provide enough airflow
Choose another system when
- Ordinary low-risk workshop dust
- Mobile tool-connected silica work
- Sealed Longopac hazardous dust disposal as priority
- Basic fixed source capture (Air 55 is enough)
- Bulk storage and discharge applications
- Buyers looking for the cheapest dust collector
- Any application where the dust risk has not been assessed properly
XZone 40 may be enough.

Look at Silica Safety Systems.
05 · Core Features
Built for combustible-dust and high-risk industrial control.
Every component on the XZone 55 is selected against ignition risk, not against price. Nine features that put it in the high-risk category.
Explosion-proof system design
The XZone 55 is built on an explosion-proof dedusting platform for high-risk industrial dust environments. Equipment designed around ignition-risk control, not retrofitted.
Ex-rated platform
Antistatic filtration
Antistatic filtration helps manage static-related risk during dust extraction. For combustible dust, static control is part of the safety strategy — not a feature.
Static-controlled
Grounding hardware
Grounding hardware supports safer operation by helping manage static discharge risk. In high-risk industrial environments, ignoring grounding is amateur and dangerous.
Earth-bonded
Explosion-proof centrifugal fan
An explosion-proof centrifugal fan configuration supports safer extraction in environments where standard fan components may not be suitable.
Ex-fan configuration
5800 m³/h airflow
High-capacity extraction for demanding industrial dust environments. The airflow needed for serious fixed source capture and dust concentration control.
5800 m³/h
5.5 kW three-phase
A 5.5 kW three-phase platform positions XZone 55 above lower-output high-risk systems — suitable for larger or more demanding dust-generating processes.
380V / 50Hz
Automatic jet pulse cleaning
Automatic jet pulse filter cleaning maintains airflow and filter performance during operation. In high-risk environments, a system that clogs becomes a weakness.
Self-cleaning
24 m² filter surface
A 24 m² filter surface supports high-volume dust capture and continuous operation. More filter surface helps manage heavier dust loads without collapsing performance.
High-load capacity
50L collection bin
A 50L collection bin supports practical dust collection in fixed industrial environments. This is not a Longopac sealed disposal system — it is a high-risk dedusting system with bin recovery.
Bin recovery
06 · Compliance System™
Compatible with the Novavac Compliance System™
The XZone 55 can be integrated with the Novavac Compliance System™ — the QR-based compliance layer used across Novavac systems. Each unit gets a serial-tracked digital dossier designed to support correct use, documentation, maintenance, and audit readiness.
- QR-based access to machine documentation
- On-site usage guidance
- Maintenance and filter tracking
- Safe dust handling procedures
- Operator and supervisor accountability
- Easier access to high-risk system docs
XZone 55 controls high-risk dust. The compliance layer documents it.
The machine is the physical high-risk extraction system. The QR dossier supports accountability — proving that the system is being used and maintained correctly.

Compare High-Risk Systems09 · XZone 55 vs Air 55
XZone 55 or Air 55? Similar capacity. Different risk category.
Air 55 and XZone 55 are similar in performance class — but they are not the same product category. Buying around airflow alone is how operations end up with the wrong system in the wrong environment.
Air 55
Standard fixed extraction
XZone 55
Explosion-proof dedusting
Do not buy Air 55 when the environment requires XZone. That is not saving money. That is creating risk.
10 · XZone 40 vs XZone 55
XZone 40 or XZone 55? Choose based on dust load and risk demand.
Both are high-risk systems. The difference is capacity. XZone 40 is the smaller of the two; XZone 55 is the stronger option when dust volume, operating demand, or source-capture requirement is higher.
XZone 40
The smaller high-risk system. Same explosion-proof platform — designed for smaller high-risk extraction applications where dust volume is lower and a 4 kW class system is sufficient.
Main reason to choose: correct risk category without overbuying.
XZone 55
The stronger high-risk system. Same explosion-proof architecture — built for operations needing stronger high-risk capacity, more airflow, and heavier source capture.
Main reason to choose: more airflow and capacity for higher-demand high-risk dust.
Do not choose based only on price. In high-risk environments, the system must be sized around the dust source and risk profile.
11 · XZone 55 vs Silica Safety
XZone 55 or Silica Safety? Combustible risk vs sealed hazardous dust disposal.
Two different problems. Two different system categories. Get the diagnosis right before getting the system right.
XZone 55
High-Risk Systems
Silica Safety
Sealed hazardous dust
If the issue is silica exposure → Silica Safety. If the issue is combustible / explosion-risk → XZone.
Silica Safety Systems are built around sealed hazardous dust extraction and Longopac disposal. XZone 55 is built for higher-risk environments where combustible dust, static, grounding, and explosion-proof system design matter.
12 · XZone 55 vs Bulk Handling
XZone 55 or Bulk Handling? Risk control vs volume handling.
Bulk systems solve a volume problem. XZone systems solve a risk problem. The category you choose should match the problem — not the size of the tank.
XZone 55
Bulk Handling
Bulk solves a volume problem. XZone solves a risk problem.
If your main issue is storage capacity and discharge — Bulk Handling may be the better category. If your dust is combustible or the process involves explosion-risk conditions, XZone must be considered before volume alone. Choosing based only on tank size is how businesses make dangerous decisions.

The 5.5 kW high-risk extraction system for combustible-dust and explosion-risk environments where standard Air Extraction is not acceptable.
Do not sell it as "Air 55 but explosion-proof." That sounds sloppy and dangerous. Sell it around the real business case: same high airflow class as Air 55, but built for a different risk category.
