General Equipment Company’s new portable HEPA air filter – the AF500 AIR-SCRUB-R, is a compact, portable and efficient solution for providing air scrubbing/negative pressure air movement capabilities on virtually any non-hazardous jobsite. The filter is built with a ¼ horsepower, 115 VAC variable speed electric motor and a large 16-inch (406.4 mm) diameter inlet for improved airflow and maximum filter surface area exposure. The AF500 offers adjustable airflow rates up to 500 cfm and features a unique two-stage design, with a 30 percent pre-filter and a 99.7 percent efficient HEPA secondary filter.
Able to capture particles down to .3 microns, the unit can remove particulates such as airborne allergens, soot particles and mold spores. Also, by replacing the standard pre-filter with an optional carbon/potassium permanganate filter, the air scrubber absorbs a wide range of VOCs, smoke and other noxious contaminants and odors.
