Why the AEROMAX1200 leads this comparison
- 1200 CFM vs approx. 1060 m³/h — the AEROMAX1200 delivers approximately 13% higher maximum airflow than the DC 1200. On large enclosures and open-plan refurbishment areas, higher airflow means faster air changes and more effective dust control.
- H14 HEPA at 99.995% — vs the DC 1200's H13 at approximately 99.95%. For hazardous dust applications the additional filtration margin of H14 is significant — 10× fewer particles pass through H14 than H13 at the critical 0.3 micron particle size.
- 3-stage filtration with antistatic G4 pre-filter — captures larger particles before they reach the intermediate and HEPA filters, extending HEPA filter life and reducing replacement frequency. The DC 1200 uses a 2-stage system.
- Rotomoulded polyethylene housing — highly impact-resistant for hire fleet use. Stainless steel sheet metal on the DC 1200 can dent and deform under site use conditions.
- 110V–240V dual voltage capability — one machine serves both 110V site supply and 240V applications. The DC 1200 requires separate 110V and 240V versions.
- 1kg lighter at 22kg vs 23kg — marginal but relevant for frequent repositioning on large sites.
Application context
Both machines are designed for large-volume air scrubbing on major construction and refurbishment projects. At 1200 CFM / 2040 m³/h, the AEROMAX1200 provides sufficient air changes for enclosures up to approximately 500m³ at 4 air changes per hour — suitable for most commercial refurbishment containment scenarios.
For ICRA Type C and D healthcare environments, H14 HEPA is the appropriate specification — the AEROMAX1200's H14 rating confirms compliance at this level. See: ICRA guidance | Healthcare hub
