General Equipment introduced its new portable HEPA air filter, the AF500 AIR-SCRUB-R. Ideal for establishing a healthier environment in residential, commercial, and industrial applications involving activities such as floor cleaning, grinding and polishing, or drywall installation and repair, the AF500 is a compact, portable, and efficient solution for providing air scrubbing/negative pressure air movement capabilities on non-hazardous job sites.

The AF500 features a two-stage design, with a 30% pre-filter and a 99.7% efficient HEPA secondary filter, requiring fewer filters to be inventoried over competitive models. Able to capture particles down to 0.3 microns, the unit can remove particulates such as airborne allergens, soot particles, and mold spores stirred up by air movement during any type of project. Also, replacing the standard pre-filter with an optional carbon/potassium permanganate filter, the air scrubber absorbs a wide range of VOCs, smoke, and other noxious contaminants and odors.
