Description
The e3000X is a battery-powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) of the highest safety class TH3, with an integrated air flow sensor. It protects reliably against respirable particles such as smoke, aerosols and dust and delivers clean breathing air to the helmet.
Compared with commonly used TH2 systems, a TH3 system filters out ten times more particles, so 99.8% of harmful particles are removed from the air. The blower reaches 240 litres of air per minute at the push of a button, and the air flow is controlled automatically in three stages and calibrated at start-up. An audible alarm warns when the filter is saturated, and the system then switches to the next lower air flow level without interrupting the work.
The purified air is guided through an internal channel directly to mouth and nose; up to 20% of it can be directed to the forehead through an adjustable outlet for a cooling effect, without irritating the eyes. An optional A1B1E1 gas filter protects against organic, inorganic and acidic gases, and the Mountain Breeze activated carbon filter against unpleasant odours and ozone. The silencer reduces the operating noise by 6 dB(A).
The e3000X can be combined with optrel PAPR welding helmets such as the sphereX, helix and panoramaxx series. It is used in welding and plasma cutting, grinding and metalworking, demolition and construction, waste disposal and recycling, woodworking, painting, agriculture, the food industry and laboratories. It must not be used where there is an immediate danger to life or health (IDLH) or in atmospheres with less than 17% oxygen.
