The Rutlands® PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) offers woodworkers high levels of protection against multiple hazards. It combines TH3 respiratory protection with eye, face and head protection. A powerful, lightweight, battery powered fan draws air through two pre-filters coupled with a high capacity HEPA filter and then blows clean air down into the air fed mask over the user’s face. The fan sends up to 200 litres of clean filtered air per minute and has a positive pressure system allowing the user to breathe as normal without the face shield misting. On a single battery charge it will deliver clean filtered air for up to 6 hours .
The digital control pad allows you to pre-select one of the two air flow rates and features a battery level indicator. The air flow alarm activates audibly and by vibration when the diagnostic system detects changes in the battery or filter conditions, informing the operator of a reduction in air flow. Extremely comfortable to wear the fabric waist belt is padded for optimal fit and weight distribution.
