Description
The Menda HEPA Vac and Service Vac are a compact,
high performance, field service vacuum. This model has
been specifically designed with ease of portability in
mind. The powerful 600-watt motor can handle almost
any job. It is for those technicians who require a small,
lightweight vacuum for use in and around sensitive
electronic equipment such as copy, pick & place, & SMT
machines, telecom equipment, computers and printers.
The standard 99.97% efficient @ .3 micron HEPA filter
cartridge is ideal for fumes, atmospheric dust, lead,
glass, pollens, soot, drywall dust, and all color toner.
The filter is fully contained for safe, easy disposal. An
alternative is Menda now also has an environmentally
friendly filter that is less expensive. Instead of the HEPA
filter we offer a corrugated shell with replaceable bags.
This filter is suitable for most electronic applications.
This is the standard filter that comes with the Service
Vac.
The HEPA Vac and Service Vac are safe for ESD
susceptible electronics. The electronic line filter prevents
EMI/RFI noise, and the utensils are static dissipative.
The internal ground-wire in the flex-hose and enclosure
virtually eliminate static charge generation from utensils.
Note: The Menda
®
HEPA Vac and Service Vac are
designed for commercial use only. Keep the body of the
vacuum 12" (30cm) away from all ESD sensitive items.
Operation
