Respiratory solutions for powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) systems.
Work with comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time. We’ve got your back, but you won't feel it, thanks to our ergonomic design.
The differences between powered and supplied air respirators
-
-
Powered air
A powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) is a system that uses a fan to deliver filtered air into a variety of headgear and facepiece options.
-
-
Supplied air
3M™ Supplied Air Respirators are designed to deliver clean air to the worker. The air can be supplied from a high-pressure compressor, low-pressure pumps, or cylinders (bottled air). 3M offers several products that can connect to a supplied air system including hoods, helmets, full facepieces, half facepieces and loose-fitting facepieces.
Powered air purifying respirator product families
Many different PAPR configurations from 3M are available to fit a wide range of workplace and wearer comfort needs.
-
Experience maximum flexibility as you move from one environment to another, or from one application to the next. The slim profile is designed for use in tight spaces, and its smooth, contoured outer surfaces are less prone to snagging on nearby objects.
-
The revolutionary TR-600 reaches new heights of performance with a lithium-ion battery, adjustable airflow options, and an expanded range of NIOSH-approved filters and cartridges to help protect against gas/vapours and particulates. Designed for heavy use and long wear, the TR-600 features a user-friendly design with intuitive visual, vibratory, and audible indicators.
-
Personal protection that helps minimize the risk of fire or explosion every time you enter a potentially explosive area — whether from flammable gases and liquids or combustible dust. Built with advanced features and innovative materials, the TR-800 is built for environments where intrinsically safe (IS) equipment is essential.
-
The 3M™ Powerflow™ Face-mounted Powered Air Respirator System is a single, optimized personal system combining effective, robust and reliable protection against respiratory, face and eye hazards.
Types of powered air purifying respirators
-
Ready-to-use kits offer a simple way to purchase a complete powered air system that includes everything you need to get started — headtop, breathing tube, powered air purifying respirator and more — all in one convenient purchase.
-
Build the system that works for you with the assembly option. Start by choosing an assembly to get the belt, battery and breathing tube combination you need. Customize your system with the headtop, cartridge or filter, battery charger and/or optional filter cover.
-
Select from a wide variety of applications, leveraging an extensive range of NIOSH-approved filters and cartridges.
Headtops for powered air purifying respirators
-
The headgear is lightweight, compact, and easy to maintain while helping to provide the wearer with protection from a wide range of hazards. M-Series Headtops offer dependable protection and exceptional comfort.
-
Designed to profile the wearer's head for a more streamlined appearance and offer a direct comfortable stream of air into the headgear.
Types of supplied air respirators
3M offers several products that can connect to a supplied air system including hoods, helmets, full facepieces, half facepieces and loose-fitting facepieces.
-
External compressed air source that is independent of the hazardous environment offering airflow to the headtop to suit personal preference.
-
Compressed air breathing hoses that can be connected to our broad range of supplied air respiratory solutions.
-
Regulating valves are a personal air conditioning unit on your belt. In many areas of industry, workers are sometimes exposed to uncomfortably high or low temperatures in addition to high concentrations of hazardous contaminants.
-
Connecting the air source with the headtop is to ensure that clean air reaches the headtop reliably and with unrestricted airflow.
-
Different headtops to meet the requirements of your workplace, from lightweight hoods to industrial helmets, that provide not only respiratory protection, but also eye and face protection, head protection, and optionally, hearing protection.
-
The SA-100-PSK consists of a lightweight respiratory faceshield, breathing tube, and vortex cooling valve. A supplied air hose (sold separately) is required to complete the NIOSH-approved system. Ideal as a painter's respirator kit.
