Atrix International Vacuum Cleaners

The least expensive, portable vacuum cleaners we could find with HEPA filtration. Excellent for cleaning exhibits, storage rooms -- the entire collection. All vacuums come with flexible stretch hose, crevice tool with detachable brush and black neoprene flex neck with half-inch opening to reach tight spots. All provide a minimum of 0.3 micron filtration -- ideal for soot, pollen and most atmospheric dust particles. All three models can be purchased with HEPA filtration.

Express VacExpress Vac, our smallest vacuum, weighs 8 lb. (with accessories and box) and has a top handle. Measures 12”x 8.25”x 9.5”. Fabric carrying Tote sold separately. Three filtration systems are available: (1) a bag and shell filter combination, (2) a disposable, anti-dump canister filter in a recycled plastic housing or (3) a HEPA filter cartridge. Low suction makes this vacuum ideal for collection cleaning. See micro-tools under accessories.

Omega Vac SupremeOmega Vac Supreme, weighing 12 lb., has a shoulder strap and lid storage area for accessories. Measures 19.5” x 9” x 6.25”. Choice of filter determines level of dust retention.

The optional HEPA filters are designed to capture fumes, atmospheric dust, all color toner and other ultra-fine particulate. Both filters are disposable, anti-dump canisters. The vacuum meets UL and CSA certified safety standards. Great for general exhibit and storage room cleaning. Suction is stronger than normally desired for cleaning collections.
