Air Compressor – Used to blast away the debris.

Agitation Device – Dislodge dirt/debris from inside all types of duct surfaces.


Extractor – Collects the dust and debris from the duct cleaning operation.

Filtered Collection Device/Negative Air Machine – Most specialized equipment for the duct cleaning process. Machines used are based on several factors including cost, durability, reliability, productivity, ease of use, and support from the manufacturer.

Some Pneumatic Devices – Research of the tools to be used is equally important as the tool itself. Selecting the wrong tools will damage the duct processing work and your reputation both. Investment in Pneumatic Devices requires knowledge of tools for any specific cleaning task.

Pneumatic Brushing System – Various brush types exist for a variety of different surface conditions. Selection of such tools is very vital, as a system working well in a round duct, may not help to clean a square or rectangular duct.

Pneumatic Snakes and Whips – It’s the standard practice with specific types of ducts.

Air Sweeping Tools – Any air sweeping tool or combination of tools is just one part of the entire system. These devices/tools help to sweep debris from one area of a duct system to another.
