Description
Remediation crews tackling mold spores, lead dust, or biohazard remediation risk cross-contamination without certified containment vacuums. The Minuteman C82917-00 15 Gallon Bio-Haz dry vacuum traps hazardous micro-particulates within a 15-gallon recovery drum. It pulls 110 CFM on 120 Volt service. Ingesting hot demolition embers or live sparks will ignite the internal HEPA filtration media.
The 15-gallon drum uses rotomolded polyethylene that resists chemical disinfectants and rough transit impacts without cracking. A 2 horsepower commercial bypass motor mounts inside a sound-insulated powerhead, pulling air through a certified HEPA filter tested at 99.97 percent efficiency down to 0.3 microns. Dual positive-locking steel latches clamp the powerhead down against a closed-cell neoprene seal. A secondary cloth filter and sealable collection bag ensure zero toxic dust bypasses into technician breathing zones.
Biohazard Dry Vacuum Hardware Matrix
Certified multi-stage HEPA filtration prevents hazardous contamination during mold, lead, and asbestos remediation jobs. Technicians transport the high-capacity drum across rough subfloors on heavy-duty rear transport wheels.
- 2 horsepower commercial bypass vacuum motor delivers 110 CFM and 105 inches of water lift.
- Certified HEPA filtration system captures 99.97 percent of biohazard dust down to 0.3 microns.
- 15-gallon rotomolded polyethylene tank withstands aggressive sanitizers without chemical degradation.
- Positive-locking steel toggle clamps compress the powerhead gasket to prevent hazardous dust leaks.
- 50-foot commercial power cord provides extensive coverage across containment zones.
- Complete biohazard tool kit includes a crush-proof hose, steel wands, and floor attachments.
- Sealable paper collection bags prevent particulate escape during hazardous waste disposal.
Dyno Bench Vacuum Telemetry Metrics
Continuous remediation testing on 120 Volt service pulls 9.5 Amps under full HEPA airflow resistance. The commercial bypass motor turns at 18200 RPM while pulling 102 inches of static water lift across our test manometer. Motor powerhead temperatures climb by 34°F over 60 minutes of uninterrupted operation, cresting at 136°F. Sound meter instrumentation reads 72 dBA at 1 meter distance. Airflow maintains 106 CFM through clean HEPA filters before particulate cake begins building on the primary paper bag.
Shop Handling Field Boundaries
Weighing 43 pounds empty, this high-capacity vacuum rolls on steel-axle wheels but requires two workers when hoisting into service trucks. Do not deploy this dry biohazard vacuum for liquid slurry pumping, standing water, or boiler soot cleanout. Moisture dissolves the paper HEPA folds, creates toxic mold inside the drum, and shorts the bypass motor.
- Seal and dispose of the collection bag inside an approved hazardous waste container when full.
- Replace the certified HEPA filter cartridge every 250 operating hours.
- Check the powerhead neoprene gasket for tears or air leaks every week.
