Belt Mounted PAPR Painter's Kit, GVP-PSK2 - 3M Automotive

Specifications

The 3M Automotive Belt Mounted PAPR Painter’s Kit, GVP-PSK2, Model Number 37335, is a high-efficiency powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) system. It includes a GVP-CB PAPR assembly, a GVP-441 Organic Vapor/High Efficiency (OV/HE) filter with a shower cover, a breathing tube with a cover, and an M-101 Respiratory Faceshield assembly. The kit weighs 12 lbs. The PAPR system operates with a Ni-Cd battery, providing approximately 8 hours of continuous use. This NIOSH-approved system ensures reliable respiratory protection.

Key Features

• Belt-Mounted PAPR Assembly: The GVP-CB PAPR unit, including the battery, belt, and charger, is designed for comfortable waist-mounted wear, enhancing user mobility.
• Powered Air Delivery: A battery-powered blower actively pulls air through the filter, supplying a continuous flow of purified air to the headgear and eliminating additional breathing resistance.
• Advanced Filtration: The GVP-441 OV/HE filter effectively protects against organic vapors and high-efficiency particulates, common hazards in painting environments.
• Loose-Fitting Headgear: The M-101 Respiratory Faceshield, complete with a visor and comfort faceseal, offers respiratory protection without requiring a tight faceseal or fit testing.
• Complete System: This kit provides a ready-to-use solution, combining all essential components for immediate deployment.

Applications

The 3M Belt Mounted PAPR Painter’s Kit, GVP-PSK2, is suitable for various industrial settings requiring comprehensive respiratory protection. It is an ideal choice for:
