Abatement Technologies HEPA-AIRE PAS1700 Air Scrubber – 1,650 CFM, 99.97% HEPA

PAS1700 Portable Air Scrubber — High-Volume Negative Air for Large Containment Zones

The Abatement Technologies HEPA-AIRE PAS1700 delivers up to 1,650 CFM of HEPA-filtered air — enough capacity to negative-pressure a large commercial containment zone that would require two or three smaller units. Built for professional remediation contractors who bill by the day and cannot afford setup delays, the PAS1700 runs on 115 VAC and stacks for transport without disassembly.

PAS1700 Airflow Capacity and Filtration Performance

At 1,650 CFM, the PAS1700 turns over the air in a 1,000 sq ft room at 8-foot ceilings more than 12 times per hour — the rate IICRC S520 recommends for mold remediation containments.

• 1,650 CFM airflow — covers containment zones where 500–750 CFM units would require stacking two machines; reduces equipment mobilization cost per job
• 99.97% HEPA filtration at 0.3 microns — captures mold spores (1–30 microns), asbestos fibers, and fine drywall dust in a single pass
• Multi-stage filtration with pre-filters — pre-filters extend HEPA filter life in heavy-dust environments, lowering per-job consumable cost
• Variable speed control — dial airflow down for smaller spaces or noise-sensitive environments without pulling the unit off the job
• Anodized aluminum housing — corrosion-resistant against the humidity and chemical exposure typical in water damage and mold work
• Stackable footprint — transport two or three units in the same truck space as a single large unit; load and unload without a second operator

PAS1700 Applications and Environments

Commercial mold remediation contractors handling office buildings, retail spaces, and multi-tenant residential projects rely on the PAS1700 where room size makes smaller units impractical. Healthcare facility renovation teams use it for ICRA-compliant air management during occupied-building construction, where maintaining negative pressure across a 1,500–2,000 sq ft work area is a contract requirement. Asbestos and lead abatement crews working in schools, government buildings, and pre-1978 commercial properties use it as the primary negative-air machine for large abatement areas. Water damage restoration companies running large-loss structural drying jobs deploy it alongside desiccant or LGR dehumidifiers to control airborne contamination during cavity drying.

PAS1700 HEPA Certification and Air Scrubber Compliance

True HEPA filtration rated 99.97% at 0.3 microns meets OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 requirements for asbestos abatement air filtration. For insurance restoration estimates, the Xactimate line item code for air scrubbers is AQRS. The PAS1700 operates on standard 115 VAC, 60 Hz — no dedicated circuit required on most commercial job sites. Powered by a 1.5 HP motor.
