Description
PAFtec CleanSpace® is a state-of-the-art, uniquely low profile, light weight, powered air purifying respirator with the benefit of mobility and high performance and no compromises. CleanSpace® combines high respiratory protection and functionality of powered respirators with mobility and convenience of passive masks. Designed in Australia, CleanSpace® has the protection and breathing comfort of a powered respirator without the large size, heavy weight, bulk and inconvenience of hoses/cables. The breakthrough mobility and protection means an unprecedentedly range of applications for powered respirator technology. CleanSpace® changes those workers' lives who require comfort, mobility and respiratory protection for long working hours (8hr shifts).
Key Features
and/or Benefits
PAFtec CleanSpace® incorporates a patented AirSensit Responsive Flow Control System™ that detects wearer's breathing and generates the airflow demanded breath by breath while maintaining the critical positive pressure environment needed within the mask. Positive pressure within the mask (characteristic of powered respirators) ensures high levels of protection from the contaminated environment outside. Uniquely, CleanSpace's breath by breath flow control creates a pleasant natural breathing experience while extending battery life. Thus the unit can use a smaller battery conserving space and weight in the neck mounted AirGen.
The silicone face mask is soft, low profile, non-allergenic and hygienic and moulds comfortably to the user's facial fatures. The arms of mask form a pair of low profile air channels when linking the "bellows" to the AirGen (back section of the respirator). This is highly innovative and not seen in any other respirator in the world. The AirClip System is a one-push operation for mask adjustment and a simple donning and doffing procedure: offering a simple and quick operating application for wearers and minimising training time.
At the heart of the CleanSpace® is a unique micro-turbine that incorporates a powerful toroidal motor technology. The motor/blower, weighing 54.8g, is capable of peak airflows in excess of 160 L/min easily able to meet the peak inhalation needs of the wearer. The motor/blower wrapped in a custom designed rubber suspension system ("hedgehog") is robust, highly impact resistant (see car park test) able to withstand hostile and harsh environments.
The intelligent Auto Start/Stop Functionality, unique in powered respirators, provides a user-friendly operating environment and conserves battery use. When the respirator is "woken" in sleep mode, a single auto-start mechanism, detects wearer's breathing in the first breath and starts the motor to deliver the airflow needed via the AirSensit Responsive Flow Control System™. When the mask is removed or lifted from the face, the auto-stop stops airflow, ready to start again when the mask is donned and breathing detected. If the mask is inactive for ten minutes, CleanSpace falls back into sleep mode.
