It is essential to have a suitable respiratory protective device for sandblasting operations to safeguard your health and, to this purpose, one of the best devices is a powered assisted respirator for sandblasting.
Features and operation of power assisted respirators incorporating a helmet for sandblasting
The K80E T8X and T8X-IS Respirator function in a very simple way: a blower unit draws surrounding air through its filters and conveys it, free from fine dust and particles dangerous to health, through a breathing tube to the inside of the helmet.
The helmet is made of fibre glass and has a polycarbonate visor. It is practical and functional and is provided with a breathing tube which connects to a blower unit equipped with filters which is worn on a belt at the waist. The T8X-IS blower unit comprises an electronic audible alarm air flow indicator.
The respirator is made even more practical by the lightweight battery – only 160 grams for the LI-300 version which has a running time of up to 4 hours and 460 grams for the LI-870 version which lasts up to 6 hours.
The helmet weighs about 900 grams. The lithium batteries’ recharging time varies from 6 to 12 hours. All these features make sandblasting work more comfortable for the operator.
The respirator incorporating a helmet also ensures protection of the head, neck, face and ears. The helmet fits most head sizes as it is equipped with an internal headband which is adjustable in diameter from 53 cm to 63 cm and accommodates eye wear and beards.
Many operators think that the visor may fog up when donning a helmet for respiratory protection during sandblasting operations making it uncomfortable and unsafe. In fact, the filtered air blown into the helmet passes over the inside of the visor thus preventing it from misting. Furthermore, the slight positive pressure created inside the helmet pushes air down and outwards preventing dust outside the helmet from entering.
