Air Scrubbers

Which air scrubber size fits the job?

Match airflow to room volume and the air changes per hour the job requires. Compact units such as the XPOWER X-2480A and X-2580 mini scrubbers move up to 550 CFM from a small footprint. Mid-range machines such as the X-3580 and X-4700AM run 600 to 750 CFM. For large open areas, the Novatek Novair 2000 is rated 1,000 to 2,000 CFM and the XPOWER AP-2000 is rated 2,000 CFM.

What is the difference between 3-, 4- and 5-stage filtration?

More stages add filtration steps ahead of the final HEPA filter. XPOWER lists 3-stage, 4-stage and 5-stage models, and the 5-stage X-2830U adds dual UV-C lights. Novatek Novair Bio models add a positive-lock HEPA retaining system, an alarm and an hour meter for tracked filter changes.

Which models suit hospitals and sensitive facilities?

The Air-Care Bio-Cart 10 and Bio-Cart 15 are portable negative-pressure HEPA containment carts for ceiling-access maintenance in hospitals and clean rooms, and the Air-Care Triton 440N is a portable H13 HEPA air purifier for large rooms.
