The Trotec TAC Commercial Air Cleaner Range Has Landed in Australia

In industries where indoor air quality isn’t just a comfort—it's a requirement—the right air cleaner is more than a tool. It’s essential equipment. Now available in Australia, the Trotec TAC range offers unmatched flexibility, German engineering, and compliance-ready performance for builders, restorers, contractors, and hygienists.

The TAC series helps you fight mould, fix fire or water damage, handle asbestos, and manage dust. It works well in any environment. Here’s what you need to know.

Why the Trotec TAC Range is Different

Most air cleaners follow a fixed filter design, which means you're locked into a specific setup—whether or not it's right for the job. But Trotec’s Vario-Shift system changes that.

These are the only portable air cleaners on the market that let you reconfigure the filter layout based on your needs. With FlowMatic control, these models can think ahead. They automatically adjust air flow to keep performance steady over time.

Plus, every TAC model supports HEPA H14 filters, capable of removing 99.995% of particles between 0.1–0.2 microns. That’s serious protection against fine dust particles, allergens, viruses, and even asbestos fibres.

Trotec TAC Commercial Air Cleaners

The Trotec TAC lineup includes six models, each built for specific job sizes and air contamination risks. From small-scale mould jobs to high-volume industrial use, there’s a TAC to match.

Key Features Explained

Vario-Shift Function

What it is: A unique design that lets you swap the location of the fan and HEPA filter.

Why it matters: Cleanroom protocols require the HEPA filter to be the final step in the air chain. With Vario-Shift, you can easily switch between restoration and cleanroom modes. You don’t need extra units or complicated workarounds.

Available in: TAC 1500, TAC 3500, TAC 5000, TAC 6500

Not included in: TAC 750E, TAC 1500S

FlowMatic Control

What it is: A sensor system that automatically changes the air flow. It keeps a steady air exchange rate, even when filters get dirty.

Why it matters: Many air cleaners slow down over time, requiring manual checks. FlowMatic maintains consistent performance and ensures you're always meeting air change guidelines—a huge benefit for compliance-heavy environments.

Available in: TAC 5000, TAC 6500

Not included in: TAC 750E, TAC 1500S, TAC 1500, TAC 3500

H14 HEPA Filtration: Medical-Grade Air Purity

Every Trotec TAC Air Cleaner works with HEPA H14 filters. These filters remove ultra-fine particles, which is important for high-risk areas. These filters are tested and certified to EN 1822 and DIN EN 60335-2-69 standards. Each unit gets a unique serial number and a test certificate.

What makes H14 HEPA filters special?

HEPA H14 air filters remove ≥99.995% of fine suspended particles with a permeability of just 0.005%. That’s 10 times more efficient than H13 filters, making them ideal for environments where clean air isn’t optional—such as:

• Hospitals and operating theatres
• Laboratories
• Cleanrooms and chip production
• Asbestos removal and virus containment zones

H14 Against Viruses

Bacteria and viruses like coronavirus range from 0.005 µm to 0.1 µm in size. Viruses are smaller than filter thresholds, but they rarely travel alone. They usually stick to larger particles like saliva droplets or dust. This forms groups called germs that range from 0.4 to 0.5 µm.

An H14 filter is made to capture these groups effectively. This makes the TAC 5000 and TAC 6500 great for:

• COVID-19 mitigation in public spaces or healthcare
• Infection control in aged care, clinics, or post-disaster cleaning
• Contaminant management during demolition or biological cleanups

If you need cleanroom-grade performance in a mobile, robust form—HEPA H14 is your frontline defence.

Choosing the Right TAC Model for the Job

When selecting a TAC air cleaner, consider:

• Job Size - Bigger rooms or very dirty areas work better with higher airflow models (like TAC 5000 or 6500). This helps reduce time on site.
• Compliance Requirements - Only certain models allow cleanroom-approved configurations. If you're doing clearance testing, healthcare work, or anything regulated, make sure you're covered.
• Automation Needs - Want to “set and forget”? FlowMatic models reduce manual monitoring and improve long-term filter efficiency.

Real-World Fit: Matching Jobs to Machines

The Bottom Line

The Trotec TAC Air Cleaner range provides a flexible and high-performing portable filtration solution in Australia. No matter if you are dealing with water damage, mould, asbestos, or airborne contaminants, TAC has a model for your needs.

These machines provide reliable German engineering for dust control and large-scale cleanup. They include smart design features like Vario-Shift and FlowMatic. These features make it easy to set up on the job and keep airflow steady.

Use a Particle Counter to Verify Performance

To really check how well an air filtration system works—like a TAC air cleaner or another device—you need a particle counter. The PC200 is a key tool for this. These handheld tools let you measure the number and size of particles in the air. You can do this before and after they go through your air purifier or filter.

The PC200 has six particle size channels, ranging from 0.3 microns to 10 microns. It also has photo and video features. It meets ISO 21501-4 standards. The PC200 helps:

• Verify real-world HEPA performance
• Detect leaks or bypass in containment setups
• Document and prove improvements in air quality to clients or regulators

Adding a particle counter to your workflow increases trust in your equipment. It also gives you data to support your methods and results.
