+1 (978) 295-7538Novatek VA15AHFL 15-Gallon Pneumatic HEPA Floor Vacuum
The Novatek VA15AHFL is a 15-gallon, pneumatic HEPA floor vacuum rated for 170 CFM at 160" static lift, requiring 50 CFM of compressed air at 90 PSI. Its spark-free compressed-air drive makes it the correct choice for volatile or explosive atmospheres where electric motors are prohibited. Like the electric VA15EHFL, it uses a 4-stage filtration system with an individually certified HEPA filter at 99.97% efficiency, housed in a 15-gallon cold-rolled steel tank with an epoxy-coated interior.

Where the VA15AHFL Performs
Chemical plants and refineries specify pneumatic HEPA vacuums in ATEX or Class I/II Division 1 areas where electric sparks create ignition risks — the VA15AHFL's compressed-air drive eliminates that risk entirely. Industrial abatement crews operating in lead smelter remediation or solvent-contaminated buildings use it because the 170 CFM output — 60 CFM higher than the electric counterpart — clears debris more rapidly. The integrated air filter/dryer ensures moisture-free supply air reaches the vacuum internals, preventing corrosion and maintaining consistent performance even when compressor lines carry condensation in humid field environments.
Pneumatic vs. Electric HEPA Vacuum Selection
The VA15AHFL requires an air compressor producing at least 50 CFM at 90 PSI — a specification that exceeds most portable contractor compressors and typically requires a rotary screw unit at the job site. In exchange, operators get 170 CFM versus the 110 CFM of the electric model, a fully spark-free system, and no dependency on 120V circuits in remote or outdoor locations. For sites with existing compressed-air infrastructure, the pneumatic model is the higher-throughput choice with no added electrical load.
