HEPA Filtration

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration is available for all HafcoVac models. HEPA filtration is desirable in many circumstances, and is often required by regulatory agencies such as OSHA, EPA, DEP and others. HEPA filtration is useful when the exhaust may be harmful to health or the environment, the environment must be free of dust, or the exhaust dust may be explosive. HafcoVac HEPA filtration, combined with static dissipation kits protect your facility from the hazards associated with recovering material which may contain explosive dust.

Typical applications for HEPA filtration include:

• Asbestos abatement
• Lead paint recovery
• Healthcare facility cleanup
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Mining
• Power Generation

HafcoVac HEPA filters are manufactured to True (Absolute) HEPA standards, 99.97% efficient at .3 micron. With a HafcoVac HEPA filter properly installed on a well maintained vac, you can rest assured your employees safety is accounted for. When using HEPA filtration, please pay extra attention that the filter is well secured with the retaining springs, and that all seals and gaskets are intact and in good condition. Failure to observe these warnings can result in air escaping without proper filtration, severely reducing the effectiveness of the filter.
