Description
Pharmaceutical production facilities fail cleanroom audits when standard vacuums harbor bacterial growth and exhaust fine microbes into sterile suites. The Atrix ATIBCV 6 Gallon Antimicrobial vacuum stops micro-contamination through antimicrobial plastic construction and dual HEPA filtration. It produces 102 CFM airflow and 90 inches of water lift. Sucking standing liquid will ruin the motor.
The drum and motor shroud utilize high-impact polypropylene infused with antimicrobial additives that inhibit microbial and bacterial colonization on equipment surfaces. An internal 1000-watt commercial motor spins on sealed precision ball bearings, drawing negative pressure through dual certified HEPA stages. The primary HEPA captures incoming room dust, while the secondary exhaust HEPA filters motor carbon brush dust. Sealed silicone perimeter gaskets block air leakage around internal filter seats.
Hardware Matrix Operational Specs
Dual HEPA filtration architecture prevents both ambient particulates and internal motor carbon dust from entering Class 100 sterile environments. Antimicrobial plastic surfaces resist bacterial colonization between medical manufacturing shifts.
- 6-gallon antimicrobial collection drum prevents bacterial growth on interior and exterior walls.
- Dual HEPA filtration system captures 99.97 percent of microscopic particulates down to 0.3 microns.
- Secondary exhaust HEPA cartridge traps motor carbon brush emissions before air vents out.
- 1000-watt commercial motor delivers 102 CFM airflow for deep cleanroom floor extraction.
- Sealed silicone sealing gaskets eliminate particulate bypass around filter rim edges.
- Non-marking cleanroom castors roll across epoxy floors without shedding black rubber residue.
- Autoclavable hose and attachment accessories withstand high-temperature medical sterilization cycles.
Dyno Thermal Bench Benchmarks
A shop test station records an 8.4 Amp continuous draw on a 120-volt circuit under dual-HEPA restriction. Motor fan velocity holds at 21200 RPM under operational tool drag. Motor casing surface temperatures climb 45 degrees Fahrenheit over ambient room baseline during an 80-minute cleanroom shift. Static vacuum lift holds at 90 inches with clean filters, dropping to 78 inches as bags load. Audio meters record 68 dBA at 5 feet from the canister. Thermal switches open at 205 degrees Fahrenheit during intake blockages.
Field Maintenance Trade Offs
Maintaining Class 100 compliance requires routine replacement of both internal and exhaust HEPA cartridges, driving up consumable costs. Do not deploy this vacuum for wet cleanup or chemical solvent extraction because volatile moisture rots filter membranes and shorts internal wiring. The 6-gallon tank requires thorough wipe-downs before cleanroom airlock entry.
- Wipe down the antimicrobial exterior with cleanroom isopropyl alcohol before suite entry.
- Replace the motor exhaust HEPA filter cartridge every 200 operating hours.
- Inspect silicone lid gaskets for microscopic tears during regular shift sanitization rounds.
Factory Warranty Unboxing Manifest
Atrix backs the ATIBCV cleanroom vacuum with a 1-Year commercial warranty covering motor defects, antimicrobial housing, and electrical parts. The carton includes the 6-gallon canister, cleanroom hose, two wands, floor tool, crevice tool, dusting brush, primary HEPA filter, and exhaust HEPA filter.
