How a PAPR system works

A powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) is a system that uses a fan to deliver filtered air into a variety of headgear and facepiece options. Many different PAPR configurations from 3M are available to fit a wide range of workplace and wearer comfort needs.

PAPR systems are available as face-mounted, helmet-mounted and belt-mounted configurations. Most systems will include a headpiece, breathing tube (if applicable), motor-blower unit, battery, filter and/or cartridge. Depending on the headgear chosen, certain PAPR systems can also provide head, eye and face protection.
