Namco S8911 Wide Area Vacuum – 30-In Path, 224 CFM, Dual 1 HP Motors

Namco S8911 Wide Area Vacuum – 30-Inch Cleaning Path, Dual 1 HP, 224 CFM

The Namco S8911 is a wide-area upright vacuum built for large commercial carpeted spaces. Dual 1 HP motors produce 224 CFM of airflow and 63 inches of water lift, while a 4-stage filtration system captures 98.6% of particles down to 0.3 microns. The 30-inch cleaning path covers more floor per pass than a standard upright, and a 75-foot power cord extends cleaning reach without constant outlet changes.

Motor, Filtration, and Suction Specs

• Motors: Dual 1 HP vacuum motors
• Airflow: 224 CFM
• Water lift: 63 inches — indicates suction force at the nozzle
• Filtration stages: 4-stage system, 98.6% at 0.3 microns
• Cleaning path: 30 inches
• Brush roll: Adjustable — 5 pile height settings for different carpet types
• Noise level: 70 dB — within OSHA permissible limits for occupied spaces
• Power cord: 75 feet

Large Commercial and Institutional Environments

The S8911 is designed for commercial buildings, hotel corridors, schools, and healthcare facilities where a standard 14-inch upright would require three passes to cover the same strip. The 30-inch path means one operator covers 30% more carpet per hour compared to a 23-inch commercial upright. At 70 dB, the machine can run in occupied spaces — a hotel floor during check-in, a school hallway between periods — without exceeding OSHA noise thresholds. The 75-foot cord reaches roughly half of a standard commercial floor without unplugging.

Filtration and Indoor Air Quality

The 4-stage filtration system — typically consisting of a pre-motor filter, bypass filter, post-motor filter, and final exhaust filter — captures 98.6% of airborne particles at 0.3 microns. This performance level is relevant in healthcare environments where vacuuming can resuspend allergens and fine particulate. The 0.3-micron threshold aligns with the MPPS (most penetrating particle size) used in filter testing. For environments requiring true HEPA certification, verify the specific filter specification in the manual or with the manufacturer before selecting this unit.
