Cleaning an aircraft cabin is a race against the clock in a space with no room to swing a canister vacuum. The ProTeam AviationVac was built for exactly that job: a 6-quart backpack that runs on the 400 Hz power system already present on transport aircraft and ground equipment, so a crew plugs straight in without dragging a frequency converter or a bulky adaptor down the jet bridge.
It is worn rather than pushed, which is what makes it work between seat rows, along galley floors and in the flight deck footwells where a wheeled machine simply will not fit. At roughly 10 pounds it is light enough for a full turn, and at about 68 dBA it is quiet enough to run while other crew are working the same cabin.
Built for
- Aircraft cabin turns between flights, including seat rows and galleys
- Bus, rail and motorcoach interior cleaning
- Ground support and MRO facilities working from 400 Hz service carts
- Any crowded interior where a backpack beats an upright or a canister
Performance
The AviationVac uses an 864-watt, 7.2-amp motor producing 106 CFM of airflow and 82 inches of static lift. Those two numbers together are what matter in a cabin: airflow carries the debris up the hose, and lift pulls grit out of the carpet pile and the seat tracks. A four-level filtration system captures fine dust and pollen so the machine is not simply redistributing it into an enclosed cabin with the next crew about to board.
The 50-foot cord is deliberate. It is long enough to work a substantial run of cabin from a single outlet, which cuts the number of times a crew has to stop and re-plug during a short turn.

Product status
ProTeam has discontinued the AviationVac. If you are outfitting a new operation rather than matching an existing fleet, ask us about current ProTeam backpack platforms and we will point you to the model that fits your power situation. If you already run AviationVacs, we can help with replacement parts and the matching aviation tool kit.
Frequently asked questions
What does 400 Hz mean and why does it matter?
Aircraft and their ground support equipment run electrical systems at 400 Hz rather than the 60 Hz found in a building. A standard vacuum will not run correctly on that supply. The AviationVac is built for it, which removes the need for a converter.
Can I use it on normal building power?
It is specified for 400 Hz transportation power systems. Do not assume it will run correctly on standard shore power. Confirm the supply you intend to use before purchase.
Is the AviationVac still made?
No, ProTeam has discontinued it. We can advise on the current ProTeam backpack that best matches your application and power source.
Why a static dissipating hose?
Dry air moving through a hose builds a static charge. A static dissipating hose bleeds that charge off rather than letting it accumulate, which matters in aircraft and fuel-adjacent environments.
How quiet is it really?
Around 68 dBA, which is among the quietest in its class. In practice that means a crew can run it in a cabin while other work continues rather than having to clear the space.
