OVERVIEW

Looking for Reliable Air Containment on Medium to Large Jobs? The HEPA-AIRE® Negative Air Scrubber Delivers High CFM Performance and Cleaner Results

The HEPA-AIRE® H1990LV is a high-capacity Hepa negative air scrubber designed for jobs where air control isn’t optional—it’s essential. Built by Abatement Technologies, this unit delivers the kind of performance restoration crews, renovation contractors, and facility teams rely on when the work gets messy and the stakes are high. It moves a lot of air, plain and simple, and that steady airflow helps keep contaminants where they belong.

At around 1800 CFM, this negative air machine hits a practical sweet spot. It’s strong enough to support solid air changes per hour in medium to large-size containments, yet still portable enough to move from one project area to the next without turning setup into a production. In many cases, one machine can handle a room or suite-sized space on its own, which means fewer units to manage and less time spent juggling power and placement.

When connected to ducting, the H1990LV helps maintain negative pressure so dust, mold spores, and aerosolized particles don’t escape into clean areas. That matters during demolition, drying, sanding, and any kind of disturbance inside walls or ceilings. Keeping the work zone contained protects adjacent spaces and helps crews stay in line with industry expectations like IICRC guidelines for filtration and pressure control.

Air quality is where this Hepa negative air scrubber really proves its value. The multi-stage filtration system is built to handle real jobsite conditions. Larger debris gets trapped early, finer particles are caught next, and the HEPA filter removes 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. That includes mold spores, construction dust, allergens, and other fine contaminants that tend to hang in the air long after the visible mess is gone.

There’s also a level of flexibility here that crews appreciate. Run it as a ducted negative air machine inside a sealed containment, or use it to recirculate and scrub air in open areas where dust control is needed. From water and mold losses to renovation work and even manufacturing maintenance zones, it adapts without much fuss.

The practical side that shows up fast is, higher airflow means quicker air turnover, better visibility during work, and less spread of dust throughout the building. On occupied sites—offices, healthcare spaces, schools—having visible air control in place sends a clear message that the job is being handled professionally. It helps protect finishes, equipment, and the people nearby. That kind of reassurance goes a long way.

SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES

• High-Capacity Airflow (600–1800 CFM) for Strong Containment
  A powerful 1 hp motor with variable speed control lets you dial in the airflow you need—from controlled scrubbing in smaller spaces to full 1800 CFM output for maintaining negative pressure in medium-to-large containments. This flexibility helps you hit target air changes per hour without dragging multiple machines onto the job.
  
  
• True HEPA Filtration for Fine Particle Capture
  Comes equipped with a particle pre-filter and a true HEPA filter designed to remove 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns. That means mold spores, construction dust, allergens, and other fine contaminants get pulled out of the air before they can spread to clean or occupied areas.
  
  
• Built for Negative Pressure and Ducted Applications
  An attached outlet collar accepts 12" flex duct, making it easy to exhaust air outside or create negative pressure in sealed containments. An optional inlet manifold can also be added for ducted intake setups, giving crews more control over airflow direction and containment strategy.
  
  
• Rugged, Jobsite-Ready Construction
  The galvanized steel cabinet is made to handle tough environments—restoration, renovation, and industrial settings where equipment takes a beating. Hinged pre-filter access makes maintenance quick and simple, so filter changes don’t slow down the day.
  
  
• Portable Design Without Sacrificing Performance
  At just 122 lbs, the unit stays relatively lightweight for its size and output. Four lift handles, plus two fixed and two locking swivel casters, make it easier to move between rooms, floors, or different zones without a struggle.
  
  
• Certified Safety and Professional Reliability
  NRTL-certified to meet UL and CSA safety and flammability standards, giving contractors and facility managers added confidence when using it in occupied buildings, healthcare settings, and regulated environments. It’s built to perform—and built to meet expectations.
