HazVac industrial 12 gal(US) reservoir canister HEPA vacuum cleaner

Industrial vacuum HazVac: performance, safety, and efficiency

Designed for decontamination professionals, the industrial canister vacuum HazVac offers a robust and reliable solution for demanding worksites. Its 1.7-horsepower motor generates an airflow of 110 cubic feet per minute, allowing powerful and consistent suction. The integrated HEPA filter captures fine particles of 0.3 microns, protecting operators against carcinogenic dust and pathogens. This vacuum is recommended for asbestos removal, renovation, industrial cleaning, and for healthcare or educational facilities.

Include with the vacuum:

•  1 1½-in (38 mm) diameter; 10 ft (3 m) long flexible hose
•  2 telescopic wand that can form one wand
•  1 nozzle for dry materials
•  1 nozzle for damp materials
•  1 crevice tool
•  1 polyester motor filter
•  1 HEPA filter (for spares, see SAD5F item)
•  1 disposable bag for dry materials (for spares, see SAD5S item)

Spare HEPA filters (item SAD5F) and 12 gal (US) bags (item SAD5S) are available under the accessories section at the bottom of the page. Please note that the bags come in a pack of 10 units and the HEPA filters are sold individually.

The DOP test (Dispersed Oil Particulate) has been designed to ensure the integrity and efficiency of HEPA filters in terms of airborne particles containment based on their holding capacity of dispersed oil particulate of 0,3 µm. This type of test is a requirement because it pinpoints any leaks on the HEPA filter, that is, through its accordion-shaped material, its frame or its seals. Note that if particles go around the HEPA filter, the DOP test has failed.

It is strongly recommended to always make a DOP test on the work site.

Please note that on asbestos abatement or mold decontamination sites, a DOP test is required:

• Before the start of a new development
• Every four weeks if the unit remains in situ during works
• It is strongly advise to perform a DOP test on the site which is ready to start the work

HEPA filters are certified accordingly to current applicable regulations and a certification label shall be placed on the frame of the filter.
