AIR SCRUBBING MACHINES
A negative air machine with a true HEPA filter is a device that contains the mold, dust, particles and odors within a workspace containment barrier. Aerospace America, Abatement Technologies, and Novatek are the leaders in the air scrubber industry. Air always flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. These machines create and maintain negative pressure, which pushes the inward airflow through any leaks or openings in the containment barrier. This prevents airborne contamin Read MoreA negative air machine with a true HEPA filter is a device that contains the mold, dust, particles and odors within a workspace containment barrier. Aerospace America, Abatement Technologies, and Novatek are the leaders in the air scrubber industry. Air always flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. These machines create and maintain negative pressure, which pushes the inward airflow through any leaks or openings in the containment barrier. This prevents airborne contaminants from escaping into and contaminating other parts of the building.In order to create a negative pressure environment, more air must leave the space than enters it. First of all, the project area must be walled off with permanent or temporary construction barriers. Secondly, the Abatement Portable Air Scrubber(s) must be placed inside the construction area. Ductwork should be run from the system to somewhere outside of the project area, preferably to the outside of the building. Since the air is HEPA filtered, it is not mandatory to exhaust air to the outdoors.
A filter is a device that traps and blocks small particles from going back into the air. A HEPA filter traps and blocks very small particles from getting back into the air. A true HEPA filter is required and tested to trap particles as small as .3 microns with 99.97 % efficiency. One micron is 1/1,000,000 of a meter. A 0.3-micron particle is 300 times smaller than a human hair and 30 to 50 times smaller than the human eye can see. Check out our products below! Read Less
