What is the Tiger-Vac AS-10 HEPA?

The AS-10 HEPA is a freestanding, mobile vacuum from Tiger-Vac, designed for daily GMP cleaning in pharmaceutical production, laboratories and other life science environments. Mounted on a 4-wheel dolly, it is easy to move around production floors, corridors and laboratories. At 9.5 kg it is light enough to be pushed by one person and robust enough for intensive daily use.

The filtration system consists of three stages: a synthetic microfilter bag that captures coarser particles and allows dust-free bag changes, a primary cloth filter, and a HEPA H14 final filter with an efficiency of 99.995 % at 0.3 µm (MPPS). The HEPA filter is tested to IEST-RP-CC001 and classified H14 by the MPPS method in accordance with EN 1822. Each vacuum unit is aerosol tested before leaving the factory — a test that verifies not only the HEPA filter in isolation but the entire airflow path including all gaskets and joints.

The Thru-Flow motor ensures that all air — including cooling air — passes through the HEPA filter before returning to the room. The design provides easy access to the HEPA filter for replacement while maintaining a tight seal during operation. The noise level of 62 dB(A) is low for a mobile vacuum in this power class.

Important use restriction: The AS-10 HEPA is designed exclusively for the recovery of dry particles and dust. The unit must not be used for liquids or wet material, as the motor is not protected against moisture. Contact us if your facility requires combined wet and dry recovery.

Filter bag and filtration

The collection bag (part no. 212500, synthetic, pack of 5) is a 9.5 L microfilter bag that closes tightly when removed, so collected material is not dispersed during bag changes. The cloth filter (part no. 212502) sits between the bag and the HEPA filter, capturing particles that may pass through the bag and significantly extending HEPA filter service life. Polyethylene liners (part no. 212371M, 61 × 61 cm) are available as an alternative collection system placed directly in the tank.

Questions and answers

The AS-10 HEPA is primarily suited for daily GMP cleaning of floors, workbenches, surfaces and equipment in pharmaceutical production, laboratories and other regulated environments. It handles dry dust, powder and particles — including asbestos, lead and mould. The unit is not designed for point extraction directly on process machinery or for continuous industrial duty.
Tiger-Vac performs an aerosol test on each individual vacuum unit before it leaves the factory. The test verifies not just the HEPA filter in isolation, but the entire airflow path — including gaskets and joints — for leaks. This provides documented assurance that the vacuum actually performs as specified on the data sheet. In regulated pharma environments it is a significant contribution to validation documentation.
The AS-10 HEPA is designed so that the HEPA filter is easily accessible, yet maintains a tight seal during operation. The filter can be changed without tools. In environments with potent compounds, filter replacement should be carried out with personal protective equipment and in accordance with the facility's procedure for contaminated waste. The used filter should be sealed in a plastic bag before disposal.
Both models are mobile dry vacuums from Tiger-Vac with 3-stage filtration and comparable motor performance. The key difference is the filtration level: the CR-1 ULPA has a ULPA U15 final filter (99.9995 % at 0.12 µm), while the AS-10 HEPA uses HEPA H14 (99.995 % at 0.3 µm). The CR-1 ULPA is also ISO 4 classified. Choose the AS-10 HEPA for daily GMP cleaning; choose the CR-1 ULPA if your facility requires ULPA filtration or ISO 4 documentation.
Yes. The AS-10 HEPA carries CE marking under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and complies with EN 60335-2-69 Class H — the standard for vacuums used with hazardous dusts. The HEPA H14 filtration meets GMP requirements for contamination control in daily cleaning operations. Validation documentation (EU Declaration of Conformity and filter test report) is available on request.
