General Equipment Company Introduces Portable HEPA Air Filter

The AF501 portable HEPA air filter is General Equipment Company’s latest addition to its AIR-SCRUB-R line. This compact, efficient unit delivers air scrubbing/negative pressure air movement capabilities, as well as outstanding air filtration in a wide range of industrial and construction-related job applications in nonhazardous locations. Featuring a two-stage design, the AF501 includes a 30% pre-filter and a 99.97 % efficient HEPA secondary filter, capable of capturing allergens and other particles as small as 0.3 microns. The pre-filter can be replaced with an optional activated carbon filter to help absorb a variety of VOCs, smoke and other noxious odors and contaminants. An indicator light on the unit alerts users when to change filters to maintain optimum airflow and filtration.

A variable-speed motor allows the AF501 to provide adjustable airflow rates up to 500 cfm. For larger applications, multiple units can be daisy-chained together. Up to four AF501 air filters can operate on a single circuit using the integral GFCI outlet and 12 amp breaker.
