OMNICLEAN
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about OMNICLEAN from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the OMNICLEAN aluminum and steel negative air machines?
The OMNICLEAN aluminum series, including models OA1000 PLUS, OA1000 PRIME, OA1000 PRO, and OA1000 PLUS-A, uses a lightweight aluminum construction and supports negative air pressure, particulate filtration, and positive air pressure modes. The steel series, represented by the OA2000 PLUS, uses heavy-duty steel construction and provides an airflow range of 800 to 1,800 cfm for negative air pressure and particulate filtration. The choice depends on portability needs versus higher airflow capacity and durability.
What airflow rating do OMNICLEAN replacement filters have?
The OMNICLEAN pleated air filters, such as the OAH2418-10 and OAH2418-30, are rated for a maximum airflow of 900 cfm. They have nominal dimensions of 24 in width and 18 in height, with depths of 6 in and 12 in respectively. These filters are designed for use in negative air machines and are compatible with specific models, including the OA2000VMED-709. Always confirm the manufacturer part number when ordering replacements.
Which OMNICLEAN negative air machine models include an air filter?
All OMNICLEAN negative air machines listed in the 3G Electric catalog include an air filter. This applies to the aluminum models OA1000 PLUS, OA1000 PRIME, OA1000 PRO, and OA1000 PLUS-A, as well as the steel model OA2000 PLUS. The included filter allows the machine to perform particulate filtration immediately upon installation. Replacement filters are available separately under part numbers such as OAH2418-10 and OAH2418-30.
What are the operating modes of OMNICLEAN negative air machines?
OMNICLEAN negative air machines are designed to operate in three modes: negative air pressure, particulate filtration, and positive air pressure. In negative air pressure mode, the machine exhausts air from a contained space to maintain a pressure differential. In positive air pressure mode, it supplies filtered air into a space. Particulate filtration is the common function across all modes, capturing airborne particles through the installed filter. The aluminum models support all three modes, while the steel OA2000 PLUS is specified for negative air pressure and particulate filtration.
How do I select the correct OMNICLEAN filter for my negative air machine?
Filter selection depends on the specific OMNICLEAN machine model. The OAH2418-10 filter has nominal dimensions of 24 in width, 18 in height, and 6 in depth, while the OAH2418-30 has the same width and height but a 12 in depth. Both are pleated and rated for 900 cfm maximum airflow. Compatibility is model-specific; for example, the OAH2418-30 is compatible with the OA2000VMED-709. Verify the manufacturer part number and machine model before ordering.
What construction materials are used in OMNICLEAN negative air machines?
OMNICLEAN negative air machines are available in two construction types: lightweight aluminum and heavy-duty steel. The aluminum models, including the OA1000 series, are built for portability and ease of handling. The steel model, OA2000 PLUS, is constructed for durability and higher airflow capacity, with an airflow range of 800 to 1,800 cfm. Both types include an air filter and are designed for particulate filtration in construction, remediation, and industrial environments.
