Info & Guides

The Air-Care TurboMax III Negative Air Duct Cleaning Machine has a 3 horsepower motor that moves air at 3,500 CFM at 6.3 inches w.g. of static pressure, ensuring efficient and thorough cleaning. It is built for large commercial spaces and residential projects alike.

Negative air is the operating principle. Instead of pushing material further into the ductwork, the TurboMax III is connected to the system and draws loose debris toward it, trapping pollen, dust, and mold spores in a three-stage HEPA filter system before any air leaves the machine.

Key Features and Benefits of the Air-Care TurboMax III 3 HP Negative Air Duct Cleaning Machine

  • High Capacity Motor: The 3 horsepower motor pulls 3,500 CFM at up to 6.3 inches w.c. of static pressure (5,000 CFM free air capacity), holding suction across long ducting runs.
  • HEPA Filtration: A three-stage HEPA filter system captures fine debris rather than discharging it back into the customer's living space. An integrated HEPA filter change light will alert you when the filters are dirty and must be replaced.
  • Portable Weight: At 146 pounds with non-marking wheels and front swivel casters, the machine is light enough for one or two technicians to move it from a crawlspace to the next job.
  • Standard Power: Runs on a normal 120-volt, 20-amp circuit, so most homes and buildings can power it without an adapter.
  • Compact Frame: Measures 55.5 x 29 x 19.5 (H x D x W) inches, so it keeps floor space in tight mechanical rooms to a minimum.
  • Toggle Control: A single toggle switch runs the machine, so startup and shutdown are fast and simple.

Choosing Your Connection Point on the Duct System

Where you tie into ductwork depends on the configuration of your particular ducting system. With a basement or crawlspace furnace, cutting or connecting to an access hole in the side of the supply-side main trunk line is very effective. Stop air from moving through the furnace first by blocking the return openings with cardboard and duct tape, or by sealing the existing furnace filter inside a plastic bag before reinstalling it. If the home has a return in every room, connect to the return trunk at the furnace and block it off while cleaning those runs. For up-flow equipment in a garage or interior closet, remove the diffuser grill from a large ceiling or wall supply duct and connect the inlet hose there, so gravity helps pull material toward the machine.

Sylvane's Expert Take

The TurboMax III fits duct cleaning contractors and HVAC service companies working both sides of the market, from single-family homes to hotels and light commercial buildings. It performs best connected directly to a main ducting system with the rest of the system blocked off, which is exactly where the 6.3-inch static pressure rating matters more than the airflow figure on its own. Additionally, the 3 horsepower motor and three-stage HEPA filter are the two specifications worth paying for here, and together they are what keep captured debris out of your customer's air.
