Construction Applications
- Powered air purifying respirators (PAPR) are motorized systems powered by a battery pack which draw air through a filter or cartridge to provide respiratory protection to the wearer
- The blower unit can be mounted on the waist, face or head, depending on the system selected
- Potential benefits includes certain PAPR systems provide a higher level of respiratory protection than non-powered air filtering respirators
- Constant flow of air can provide cooling for the worker, resulting in greater comfort for the wearer
- Loose fitting headgear options provide respiratory protection without the need for a tight faceseal or fit testing
- Battery powered blower pulls the air through the filter resulting in no additional breathing resistance to the wearer
