Assigned Protection Factor (APF) is the number that indicates the level of protection RPE can provide. For instance, APF 10 indicates that the worker using this powered respirator will breathe in one-tenth or less of the hazardous particles, gases or vapours present in the air. Thus, the powered respirator will reduce the worker’s exposure to at least a factor of 10.
Tiger Supplies’ Powered Respirators
Here are some of the characteristics of our selection of powered respirators:
- Conform to EN 12941 standards
- Battery can last longer than 7 hours from a single charge
- Made with durable materials that ensure long working life (depending on the filter/face piece combination)
- Lightweight and ergonomic designs
JSP Jetstream Switch & Go has an assigned protection factor (APF) of 20 and delivers 180 lt/min of air through the filter. It is ideal for protection against fumes, mists, dust, and fibres.
Proflow SC 160 delivers 160 l/min of air through the filter. This powered ventilator is intelligent and state-of-the-art.
Key considerations
Here are some key considerations for using powered respirators:
- Check the respirator before putting it on. You must ensure it is in good working condition before using it. Do not use the respirator if it is damaged, dirty or if you notice that it is not providing enough air.
- Always read the instructions provided by the manufacturer. These instructions often indicate how to change the filter and care for your powered respirator.
- Powered respirators must be cleaned and stored properly. Pay attention to the exhalation valves when cleaning them.
- Choose the appropriate filter. You should never use gas/vapour-only filters against particulates or vice versa.
- Do not forget that other personal protective equipment (PPE) you wear needs to be compatible with the respirator.
- Respirators cannot be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
