Kasco, a company of distinction in the field of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), has been producing highly professional and technologically advanced filters, face masks, power assisted respirators incorporating helmets and masks as well as continuous flow compressed air line breathing apparatus for nearly 40 years.
A range of products has been particularly designed for the agricultural sector where pesticides are used outdoors and in greenhouses and nurseries, in floriculture and gardening, as well as during the handling and processing of grains, for the cleaning and disinfection of barns, chicken coops and during any job where protection of the respiratory system is essential.
For such activities, in fact, breathing difficulty goes hand in hand with the risk of inhaling toxic substances that can damage the lungs and respiratory system, also very subtly.
Non bulky, respiratory protective devices, effective even under stress and in extreme conditions, able to ensure proper breathing and optimal protection of workers at all times, are indispensable.
As an alternative to the power assisted respirator with helmet, VENUS1 and ZENITH1 series full face masks are also available.
The full face mask protects the entire face preventing hazardous chemical agents coming into contact with eyes, nose and mouth.
VENUS1 full face mask:
Negative pressure respirator composed of a full face mask equipped with a filter (PPE – Cat. 3), certified EN136: 1998 and designed with cutting-edge technologies. The polycarbonate visor has an effective anti-fogging system and ensures an almost natural field of vision. The single size face seal is made of EPDM and is designed to conform to a majority of facial shapes.
ZENITH1 full face mask:
Negative pressure respirator composed of a full face mask equipped with a filter (PPE – Cat. 3), certified EN136: 1998, as above, but with a face seal in silicone and in 3 sizes (S,M,L) in order to account for nearly all facial shapes and sizes.
Both the VENUS1 and ZENITH1 full face masks weigh just under 600 grams and are equipped with a threaded connection to EN 148-1 standard for coupling to certified filters. They have reduced breathing resistance and require simple maintenance. Both masks are equipped with a carrying strap.
The full face masks are extremely versatile and can be used connected up to power assisted air systems (see power assisted respirators with full face masks). The protection of the respiratory system is ensured against gases, liquid and solid aerosols, organic & inorganic vapours etc. depending on the type of filters used. (see filter selection).
The VENUS1 and ZENITH1 full face masks sare the result of years of continuous research and experience in the field by Kasco who makes the excellence of its products one of its fundamental principles.
