Face-mounted powered air purifying respirators may increase wear productivity without the need to wear a motorized blower unit at the waist. 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 include :
- Certain PAPR system 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.
- Battery-powered blower pulls the air through the filter resulting in no additional breathing resistance to the wearer.
The 3M Powerflow System delivers a minimum of 4cfm when used with the filter.It uses the popular 6000 Series facepiece and its faceshield meets High Impact Requirements of ANSI Z87.1-2003.
