The Sandia backpack vacuum Aviation Raven 10-Quart is a commercial-grade unit built for fast, efficient cleaning of carpet, hard floors, and upholstery. Originally engineered for the airline industry, it delivers 124 CFM airflow and 484 air watts of suction power — significantly outperforming traditional upright vacuums for soil pickup speed and efficiency. Part of the full Sandia Cleaning Equipment lineup available at Twin City Vacuum.
The ergonomic design features a cushioned back-pad contoured to fit any operator’s back, plus comfortable shoulder and waist belts that reduce fatigue during extended cleaning sessions. Two lever-style latches lock the lid securely to the body, and the static-dissipating vacuum hose threads into the lid for right- or left-handed operation. The interchangeable lid converts the unit into a powerful blower when needed. Includes an easy-to-reach on/off switch and 50-foot safety power cord. Manufactured in the United States and available on GSA Advantage (GS-07F-140CA).
Filtration uses a disposable heavy-duty paper micro-bag mounted inside a washable cloth shakeout bag — collecting maximum soil while leaving exhaust air clean. Available machine only (20-5000) or with a 5-piece standard tool kit (20-5001).
