How Does It Work?
By creating negative pressure, air scrubbers capture the contaminated air and produces clean non-contaminated air. A negative pressure environment will help to contain the mold, dust, particles and odors within the workspace containment barrier. Air always flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. Creating and maintaining negative pressure creates inward airflow direction through any leaks or openings in the containment barrier. This prevents airborne contaminants from escaping into and contaminating other parts of the work area.
Why Use An Air Scrubber?
Using an air scrubber during mold/dust cleanup is extremely important for health and liability reasons. If mold or other hazardous materials are released in the air they may contaminate neighboring areas of your home or office which were previously un contaminated. Mold spores may travel via the air to other parts of a building, and can colonize clean carpets, walls, ducting, clothing or furniture in clean areas.
Each machine can move, filter and clean up to 2000 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM). Air scrubbers have triple stage filtration with HEPA filters. The HEPA filter will capture small particles such as mold, bacteria, asbestos, lead, dust and many other airborne contaminants. Air scrubbers will continuously clean the air and provide a clean, healthy and productive environment. An alternate general purpose filter is available strictly for dust particles rather than using the HEPA filter. They can also be easily moved around on four wheels.
Hospital-grade air scrubbers remove infectious, deadly airborne pathogens and purify the air to create protective environments for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Benefits:
These Air Scrubbers will save time, money and is much more effective in containing contaminated areas compared to other methods.

What is HEPA?
A HEPA filter is a type of high efficiency particulate air filter. This type of air filter can remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 micrometres in diameter. Particles of this size are the most difficult to filter and thus the most penetrating particle size. Particles that are larger or smaller are filtered with even higher efficiency. HEPA filters are the most effective air filtration filters to remove Contaminants from the air.
