A PAPR is a unit you wear on a belt. It draws ambient air through filters and blows the filtered air to your mask, helmet or hood. You don’t have to breathe through the filter yourself: that is less tiring, and the airflow keeps you cool.

CleanAIR units regulate the airflow automatically, and some models give an alarm when the filters become saturated.

That depends on the substances and fumes released during the work and on the conditions. Based on the risks, we advise which combination of PAPR unit, filter and headtop (mask, helmet or hood) best suits your work.

Particle filters protect against dust, smoke and fibres such as asbestos. Gas filters protect against gases and vapours. The letter on the filter shows what it protects against:

• A – organic vapours
• B – inorganic gases
• E – acid gases
• K – ammonia

Combination filters protect against both particles and gases.

Replace a particle filter when the airflow becomes too low; the unit will then give an alarm. Replace a gas filter based on usage time and concentration, or sooner if you can smell or taste the substance.

Always follow the user manual and the work plan. Local instructions may differ; sometimes filters need to be replaced sooner.
