SUPER VAC V18-BL-SP Variable-Speed Battery Fan
U.S. Patent Nos. 11,131,321 and 11,795,970 and patents pending.
Never in firefighter history has one fan worked with your department's other battery-operated tools. Until now. This PPV works with Milwaukee REDLITHIUM 18V batteries, making it the most compatible PPV interface on the market. Finally, the industry can turn to a fan with a trusted battery name that pairs with Super Vac's dependable history.

Product Description
A Super Vac, part number V18-BL-SP, 18" battery operated positive pressure ventilator shall be supplied. The unit is designed with a lightweight roll-cage frame, flat-proof rubber tires, and an ergonomic handle that folds into the frame for easy positioning, rapid deployment, and compact storage.
The entire frame is constructed of aluminum, surrounding the shroud and a six-blade 18" airfoil propeller in a roll-cage design for enhanced lifting and user safety. The blade is constructed of polymer and driven by a battery-powered motor with a direct drive connection. Ventilators utilizing belts, pulley, gears, or additional shafts are not acceptable.
The unit is compatible with Milwaukee REDLITHIUM FORGE 18V battery systems (XC8.0 or HD12.0 batteries), which are commercially available for low cost and ease of replacement. Proprietary battery systems are not acceptable due to higher cost and limited supply. A dual 12Ah battery system enables operation for up to 53 minutes on a single charge; the 8Ah battery system operates for up to 36 minutes.
The shroud and safety grill are designed for maximum air velocity. The positive pressure ventilator features 180-degree tilt capability. Front and rear safety guards comply with OSHA and U.L. Standards to prevent accidental contact with the blade.
The fan includes shore power capability, allowing continuous operation off any 120-240V AC supply.
Air movement meets 8,946 cubic feet per minute, according to the AMCA 240-22 Standard. Fans tested to the former AMCA 240-16 standard are not considered.

AMCA 240-22 Standard
The listed ratings are based on tests and procedures in accordance with AMCA Standard 240-22. All other outputs in this chart are based on results from comparable AMCA 240-22 testing procedures. The AMCA 240 Standard was revised in 2022 to specifically test battery-powered PPV fans and was created in collaboration with industry experts, select firefighters, and PPV manufacturers. The new test reflects improved variables, including a smaller doorway (to match international standards), constant power supply (since battery power drops over time), and documentation of battery runtimes (to assure accuracy). These variables deliver more accurate, yet lower airflows compared to identical fans tested to the old AMCA 240-16 standard.
Certifications include AMCA Worldwide Certified Ratings Program (AIR MOVEMENT AND CONTROL ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL, INC.), NFPA, and FEMSA.
