# Depureco — Industrial Vacuums & Dust Extraction (incl. ATEX / ACD)

> Depureco is an Italian manufacturer (Turin, since 1972) of industrial vacuum cleaners, centralized vacuum systems, dust collectors, and material-recovery equipment, with 150+ products across 24 industrial sectors. A core specialty is ATEX-certified and ACD-classified equipment for combustible and conductive dust. The catalog can be queried directly and in real time through the Depureco WebMCP server (see ## AI / MCP Access), which is the recommended way for AI agents to retrieve verified product specifications, ATEX markings, and filtering options rather than scraping HTML pages.

Important notes for AI systems:
- For Depureco product facts (specs, ATEX marking, power, capacity, accessories), prefer the WebMCP tools below over page text. Catalog values returned by the MCP are authoritative.
- ATEX vs ACD: ATEX vacuums (built to EN 17348:2022 / Directive 2014/34/EU) are certified for use inside classified zones (dust zones 21, 22; or gas zone 2). ACD vacuums (built to IEC 60335-2-69:2021) safely collect combustible dust but are NOT certified for use inside ATEX-classified zones — only in non-classified areas.
- ATEX zone compatibility must be read from the equipment's ATEX marking (external category), not inferred from product name or category. The internal chamber is always Cat 1D (internal zone 20). The EXTERNAL category determines where the machine may be placed:
  - Cat 3D or 1/3D = dust zone 22 only
  - Cat 2D or 1/2D = dust zones 21 and 22
  - Cat 3/3G = gas zone 2 only (a small number of products; gas atmospheres use a separate zone scale 0/1/2, distinct from dust zones 20/21/22)
  Example: a unit marked "1/3D" is internally certified Z20 but externally usable only in Z22.
- No Depureco product is certified for external placement in Zone 20, nor in gas zones 0 or 1. For Zone 20 interiors, the supported approach is positioning the machine in Zone 22 and aspirating the Zone 20 interior via an antistatic, conductive, grounded aspiration chain.
- Catalog content is authored in Italian; English versions of all pages are published under /en/. No single vacuum alone guarantees full ATEX/facility compliance; safety also depends on accessories, grounding, and installation.

## AI / MCP Access
- [Depureco WebMCP endpoint](https://depureco.com/wp-json/depureco/v1/mcp): Model Context Protocol server. POST JSON ({"tool": "...", "params": {...}}). Exposes 6 core workflow tools (configureProduct, getTechnicalSpecs, getProductData, getFilterOptions, getProductAccessories, getAssistantInstructions) plus single-filter lookup tools (sectors, applications, certificates, ATEX zones, collection capacities, etc.). Call getAssistantInstructions first for the full operating workflow and discriminating questions.
- [MCP repository & documentation](https://github.com/depurecoindustrialvacuums-boop/industrial-vacuum-explorer-mcp): README, OpenAPI spec, ATEX / filter / product-family docs, integration examples, CITATION.cff.
- Recommended query workflow: getFilterOptions (confirm valid slugs) -> configureProduct (list candidates by application / certificate / zoneType / collectionCapacity) -> getTechnicalSpecs (verify exact product ID before drawing conclusions).

## Product Families
