MINTIE TECHNOLOGIES

Mintie negative air machines are available in two primary airflow ratings. The PAB1K series, including models such as PAB1K-973, PAB1K-993, PAB1K-99ALM, and PAB1K-GP3, is rated for a maximum airflow of 1,000 cfm. The PAB2K series, which includes PAB2K-973, PAB2K-993, PAB2K-99ALM, and PAB2K-GP3, is rated up to 1,200 cfm. Actual airflow in service depends on filter loading, duct length, and static pressure. These ratings are typically used to determine the number of units required to achieve a specified air changes per hour (ACH) in a containment area.

Mintie offers stainless steel duct clamps in sizes matched to the machine series. The MIC10 clamp is compatible with PAB1K models (PAB1K-973, PAB1K-993, PAB1K-99ALM, PAB1K-GP3) and corresponding 30RV34/30RV35/30RV36/30RV37 units. The MIC12 clamp fits PAB2K models (PAB2K-973, PAB2K-993, PAB2K-99ALM, PAB2K-GP3) and 30RV49/30RV50/30RV51/30RV52 units. These clamps secure flexible ducting to the machine's exhaust collar and to discharge adapters. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds tension under vibration.

The Mintie PAB2K-993 uses a pleated air filter with nominal dimensions of 22 in height by 22 in width. The filter is rated for a maximum airflow of 2,000 cfm, which exceeds the machine's 1,200 cfm rating to minimize pressure drop as the filter loads. The manufacturer part number for this filter is PABFHM2K. It is a particulate filter; for applications requiring HEPA filtration, verify the specific filter grade and efficiency rating with the manufacturer's documentation. Filters should be replaced when airflow drops below the level needed to maintain negative pressure.

Mintie flexible duct, such as the MID12 (SKU 30RV61), is made from BoPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) film. This material provides a balance of strength, flexibility, and resistance to tearing during handling. The MID12 duct is compatible with PAB2K-GP3 and 30RV49 negative air machines, and it connects to the exhaust port to route air to a discharge point. BoPET duct is typically used in temporary containment setups where the duct must be routed through windows, doors, or negative air pressure machines. It is not intended for high-temperature exhaust; confirm temperature limits before use.

Mintie negative air machines are used in asbestos abatement and other remediation projects to maintain negative pressure and filter airborne particulates. The machines themselves provide particulate filtration; the specific filter efficiency (e.g., HEPA) determines the level of containment. For asbestos work, regulations typically require HEPA filtration and specific air changes per hour. The PAB1K and PAB2K series can be paired with appropriate filters to meet project specifications. Always verify that the complete system—machine, filter, ducting, and monitoring—complies with applicable local, state, and federal regulations for the specific hazard.

3G Electric lists Mintie negative air machines, filters, ducting, and clamps with manufacturer part numbers and compatible model cross-references. This allows buyers to match replacement components to existing equipment without guesswork. For example, a PAB1K-GP3 machine requires MIC10 clamps and can use the appropriate 1,000 cfm-rated filter. 3G Electric can provide specifications such as airflow, dimensions, and materials to assist with submittals or procurement documentation. The company ships globally and can quote single units or volume orders. For application-specific questions, consult Mintie's technical documentation or a qualified engineer.
