In a compounding pharmacy or an electronics cleanroom, an ordinary vacuum is part of the problem. It picks up the dust and then blows the finest particles back out through the exhaust. The NaceCare CRQ 370 clean room vacuum filters the air twice, with one H13 HEPA filter on the intake and another on the exhaust.
NaceCare rates it to ISO 14644-1 Class 5 and FED STD 209E Class 100, with 5-stage filtration tested to EN 1822. It runs NaceCare's 680-watt long-life motor at just 49 dB(A), holds 2.6 gallons and has an all-steel motor head.
The CRQ 370 is for rooms with a particle count to protect: cleanrooms, compounding pharmacies, labs, electronics and medical device assembly, and sterile processing. Its job is to leave the air cleaner than it found it, which is why both the intake and the exhaust carry an H13 filter and both have caps for transport.
Three honest notes. The 2.6-gallon tank is small, because the machine is built around filtration, not capacity. Numatic's manual says it isn't for hazardous or explosive dust. And it's one part of your contamination control, not a certificate for your room: check it against your own SOPs. NaceCare's spec sheet also lists clean-room tools such as pipe tools and rubber nozzles, sold separately. Ask us if you need them.
