Introducing the New Mini-Predator™ Portable Air Scrubber.
Proving That Great Things Do Come In Small Packages

Introducing the PRED600 Mini-Predator from Abatement Technologies–the world’s lightest and smallest portable air scrubber for the removal of hazardous airborne pollutants from healthcare construction and renovation zones.

Mini-Predator is Incredibly Lightweight, Compact & Powerful

Weighing in at less than 34 pounds, the state-of-the-art Mini-Predator produces an incredible peak airflow rating of 600 cfm. The Mini-Predator is so light weight that workers can easily hand carry one or two units to the hospital job site, or wheel them stacked two or three high on a dolly. It’s high-density, polyethylene cabinet means the Mini-Predator will provide years of service holding up to rough handling job after job.

Other Mini-Predator technical advancements include:

  • Incredibly Lightweight & Compact-At least 10 pounds lighter than any other PAS on the market!
  • Powerful-Variable-speed airflow rated at 200 to 600 cfm
  • Special Cabinet-Microbial growth and UV inhibitors in the cabinet resin to protect cabinet integrity, and a special Tefgard™ finish that’s easy to clean and decontaminate
  • Effective & Economical Filtration-Comes equipped with three filter stages - two particulate pre-filters and a true 99.97% HEPA filter. Optional Vapor-Lock® carbon pre-filter. Filters designed to last longer and cost less can potentially save users thousands of dollars over the life of the unit
  • Secure Stacking-Multiple units stack and nest securely together to save space in a warehouse or van, or when operating on the job
  • Low Amperage Draw-Up to five units can be safely daisy-chained on one 15-amp circuit (total current draw <12amps)
  • Safety First-ETL-certified to meet UL and CSA standards for electrical safety and UL94 flammability requirements
  • Economical-You’ll be amazed at all you get for the price you pay

The Challenge:
Protecting Patients and Staff from Hazardous Airborne Pollutants

Construction and renovation activities can pose serious challenges for facility managers and infection control professionals. Even routine and seemingly harmless maintenance activities such as replacement of drop ceiling tiles or fluorescent lamps can expose patients and staff to potentially harmful airborne pollutants, including Aspergillus-containing dust particles that can cause Aspergillosis in sensitive patients.

Abatement Technologies HEPA-AIRE Portable Air Scrubbers
Left to right: Abatement PAS600HC, Abatement PAS1200HC, Abatement PAS1800HC and Abatement PAS2400HC

Leading health authorities have proven the unsafe health effects of contaminated air. As a result, JCAHO and OSHA are enforcing the stringent CDC Health-Care Infection Control Guidelines and AIA Guidelines for Healthcare Construction.

The Solution:
Increasing Your "Margin of Safety"

Why wait for potential problems to occur when such an effective and economical solution is readily available? Abatement Technologies products for healthcare construction and renovation zones are designed to help healthcare facilities meet the CDC guidelines, and to provide an effective and economical indoor air pollution solution before, during, and after construction, renovation and maintenance activities. This is achieved by creating, maintaining and monitoring “negative air pressure” work enclosures to capture potentially harmful airborne contaminants within the negative pressure zone.

HEPA-AIRE PAS Advantages

Exceptionally Portable & User Friendly

HEPA-AIRE PAS units are the most portable systems available–perfect for healthcare construction and repair zones. Upright, narrow profile designs with built-in transport dollies and soft rubber tires enable users to quietly and almost effortlessly roll the units to wherever they are needed without damaging walls or floors. With such ease-of-mobility, these powerful units can get into tight spaces not accessible to other filtration products. Cabinets are easy to clean and decontaminate. Recessed controls are reliable and easy-to-use.

Low center of gravity near the rear wheels makes PAS units easy to move.

Effective & Economical Filtration

HEPA-AIRE PAS models feature up to four stages of filtration, including true Type A HEPA filters individually tested and certified to a minimum filtration efficiency of 99.97% at 0.3 microns in accordance with IEST-RP-CC001.3 requirements. Metal frames won’t support microbial growth. Exceptional prefilter dirt-holding capacity extends filter life and protects the HEPA filter from premature loading. Low replacement filter prices further reduce ongoing operating costs.

Carbon Absorption to Capture Airborne Gases & Vapors

Vapor-Lock® activated carbon filters capture airborne gases, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and odors. Vapor-Lock filters capture gasses and odors via a process known as carbon adsorption, whereby the gaseous molecules of the contaminants are attracted to and chemically bond to the surface of the carbon.

“Zero Bypass” Airflow Design

Push-through HEPA filter designs ensure that all internal areas downstream from the HEPA filter are positively pressurized so particulates cannot be pulled into the cabinet, bypass the HEPA filter and contaminate the exhausted air. Aircraft-type solid rivet construction and closed cell gaskets between seams further ensure cabinet integrity.

Powerful Performance

Motors and blowers are designed to provide excellent initial airflow, and to maintain as much of this output as possible throughout the filter loading cycle. This added power further extends filter life and can potentially save hundreds of dollars or more in annual filter replacement costs.

Durable & Reliable

With features like tough and mar-resistant cabinets, “over-engineered” components and the aircraft-type construction, HEPA-AIRE portable air scrubbers for construction and renovation zones are designed to provide many years of on the job use with minimal maintenance or downtime.

Abatement-designed AT Gold blowers set new levels in performance and reliability.

Energy-Saving Motorized Impellers

All models are equipped with efficient, lightweight impellers. Compared to squirrel-cage type blowers, typical savings can be $500 or more per year when operated 24/7.

Safety Certified

HEPA-AIRE PAS have been tested by Environmental Testing Laboratories (ETL), a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), and carry the ETL (U.S.) and ETLC (Canada) marks certifying that they comply with applicable OSHA and CSA electrical safety standards. To learn more about the importance of product safety certification in healthcare facilities, click here.

Extremely Versatile–A Unit to Fit Almost Any Size Job

Five portable air scrubber models are available, enabling users to meet airflow requirements as low as 50 cfm (cubic feet per minute) and as high as 4,000 cfm. Two models feature variable speed controls, and two models feature two speed motors.

PAS Configuration Animations for Multiple Projects

HEPA-AIRE PAS are the perfect portables for healthcare construction and repair jobs. These user-friendly upright units are designed to operate 24/7 in one of the following configurations:

Negative Pressure Mode With HEPA-AIRE Within PAS Containment

  • Negative pressure mode with the PAS located inside of the containment zone:
    The PAS pulls in contaminated air, filters out contaminants and propels the filtered air outside the containment zone through flexible ducting to negatively pressurize the work area.
    View the animation.

Negative Pressure Mode With HEPA-AIRE PAS Outside Containment

 

  • Negative pressure mode with the PAS located outside of the containment zone:
    Inlet ducting is used to pull contaminated air out of the zone to negatively pressurize it. Contaminants are removed by the PAS unit which is typically located adjacent to containment barrier so contaminated air can be fed directly into the inlet. Filtered air is ducted outside or to another area as required.
    View the animation.

 

Recirculation Mode

 

  • Continuous air cleaning and recirculation:
    The PAS is located within the containment zone with no inlet or exhaust ducting, so there is no affect on room pressurization. The PAS accelerates the removal rate of airborne contaminants.
    View the animation.

 

Positive Pressure Mode With HEPA-AIRE PAS Outside Containment

 

  • Positive pressure:
    HEPA-AIRE portable air scrubbers can also be used to create and maintain positive pressure zones.
    View the animation.
