GVP-PSK2 Belt-Mounted PAPR Kit - 3M Automotive

Specifications

The 3M Automotive GVP-PSK2 Belt-Mounted PAPR Kit provides comprehensive respiratory protection for various industrial applications. This kit, with model number 37335, is designed for mobility and ease of use. It weighs approximately 15 lbs.

The GVP-PSK2 kit typically includes the following components:

• GVP-CB PAPR Assembly: This motorized unit comes with a battery, a comfort belt for easy wear, and a charger to ensure readiness.
• GVP-441 OV/HE Filter: An Organic Vapor/High-Efficiency filter designed to protect against specific organic vapors and particulates, equipped with a GVP-119 shower cover.
• Breathing Tube (BT-20L): Connects the PAPR assembly to the headgear, complete with a BT-922 breathing tube cover.
• Respiratory Faceshield (M-101): Provides integrated eye and face protection, featuring a M-925 visor and a M-936 comfort faceseal for enhanced user experience.

Key Features

The 3M GVP-PSK2 Belt-Mounted PAPR Kit is a complete and ready-to-use Organic Vapor/High-Efficiency (OV/HE) Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. Its belt-mounted design ensures user mobility and hands-free operation in diverse work environments. The system delivers a constant flow of filtered air, providing a cooling effect to the worker. This battery-powered blower actively pulls air through the filter, eliminating additional breathing resistance for the wearer. The loose-fitting headgear options, such as the M-101 Respiratory Faceshield, offer respiratory protection without requiring a tight faceseal or extensive fit testing.

Applications

This PAPR kit is well-suited for a wide range of industrial applications requiring both mobility and robust respiratory protection against organic vapors and particulates. Common applications include:

• Painting, including spray painting and powder coating
• Assembly and machine operations
• Facility maintenance
• Sanding and grinding tasks
• Industrial sectors such as Automotive, Manufacturing, Food & Beverage Manufacturing, Repair and Operation, Military Maintenance, and Transportation
• Environments where protection against acid gases, mists, fumes, dusts, asbestos, and radionuclides is necessary.

Benefits

The 3M GVP-PSK2 Belt-Mounted PAPR Kit offers significant advantages for worker comfort and safety. Users experience enhanced comfort due to the constant airflow, which provides a cooling sensation and reduces heat stress. The powered blower minimizes breathing resistance, contributing to reduced worker fatigue during extended use. With its loose-fitting headgear, the system eliminates the need for a tight faceseal or regular fit testing, simplifying compliance and improving user acceptance. This comprehensive system also provides integrated eye and face protection, safeguarding against hazards in addition to respiratory contaminants. The durable construction of the kit offers an economical and reliable solution for long-term use in demanding environments.
