Sandia Super Raven 30-2003 Backpack Vacuum – 10 Qt, 150 CFM, 67 dB
Sandia Super Raven 30-2003 10-Quart Backpack Vacuum – 150 CFM, 10 lbs
The Super Raven delivers 150 CFM through a 1,340-watt (1.5 HP) motor in a 10-pound, 10-quart backpack configuration. The dual-bag system — a disposable paper micro-bag inside a washable cloth shakeout bag — captures fine particulates while preventing blowback during bag changes. At 67 dB, it runs below the threshold where most commercial facilities restrict daytime cleaning. An interchangeable lid converts the unit to a blower for post-cleaning air movement on dried carpet or debris clearing.

Where 150 CFM Backpack Airflow Matters
150 CFM moves 25% more air per minute than the 120 CFM found in standard commercial backpack vacuums — which translates to faster soil pickup on the same carpet area and better recovery from dense debris piles. Casino gaming floors with high foot traffic and continuous debris accumulation, airport terminals with gate-area carpet, and convention centers with post-event debris loads are typical applications where the higher CFM reduces the number of passes required to clear a zone. The 67 dB noise level keeps the Super Raven within range for operation in occupied areas, and the 50-foot cord reduces the number of outlet changes during a cleaning rotation.
Super Raven Filtration and Blower Mode
The dual-bag filtration system captures fine particulates in the paper micro-bag before they reach the cloth outer bag. During bag changes, the outer cloth bag contains any residual dust that escapes the inner paper bag — preventing blowback into the operator's breathing zone. This is not HEPA-certified filtration; for HEPA-rated backpack vacuum requirements, the Sandia HEPA Raven (70-4003) provides 6-quart capacity with HEPA bag and HEPA motor filter at equivalent airflow and similar weight. The interchangeable lid enables blower mode for post-extraction carpet drying, debris clearing from entryways, or equipment drying in vehicle detailing applications.
