Sandia Aviation Raven 10-Quart Specifications

The Sandia Aviation Raven 10-Quart runs a 1.5 HP two-stage motor on 400 Hz power, moving 124 CFM and 484 air watts from 1190 watts at 115V, with 111.2 inches of sealed lift. It holds a 10-quart paper micro-bag in a washable cloth shakeout bag, runs at 61 dB, and weighs 13 lbs. Lifetime warranty on the body, 5 years on the motor and electrical components.

Facility Fit

The 400 Hz motor makes this the Raven for aircraft cabins and aviation ground operations that supply 400-cycle power — airlines, MRO hangars, and airport facilities — where a standard 60 Hz vacuum will not run correctly.
