Industrial Respirators & PAPR Systems

In industrial and workplace environments, reliable respiratory protection is essential against dust, fumes, and airborne hazards. Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs) use battery-powered fans to draw in ambient air, filter out contaminants, and deliver clean, breathable air to the wearer. These advanced systems offer higher protection factors than simple masks. For example, CleanSpace’s PAPRs provide up to 99.97% HEPA filtration efficiency while weighing less than 450 g. These lightweight, hose-free units are among the most comfortable PAPRs available.

CleanSpace PAPR Industry Applications

• Agriculture & Woodworking Respirators: Workers in farming and woodworking face hazards like grain dust, wood dust, mold spores, pesticides, and chemical aerosols. CleanSpace PAPR systems deliver continuous filtered airflow to guard against these contaminants. By providing a steady supply of purified air, these respirators reduce breathing strain and prevent inhalation of harmful particles during tasks such as harvesting, cutting, or sanding.

• Healthcare & Laboratory Respirators: Healthcare providers and laboratory technicians require protection from bioaerosols, viruses, and chemical vapors in clinical settings. The CleanSpace HALO PAPR is designed for these environments: it is lightweight (< 400 g), operates on positive pressure, and filters 99.97% of airborne particles. The HALO can run up to 8 hours per battery charge and is IP66-rated for easy cleaning and decontamination. For high-tech labs and pharmaceutical manufacturing, the CleanSpace CST ULTRA adds advanced features: Bluetooth connectivity and extended runtime (up to 14 hours) for data tracking and long shifts.

• Heavy Industrial & Construction Respirators: In construction, manufacturing, and metalworking, workers encounter silica dust, cement dust, metal fumes, and chemical solvents. CleanSpace heavy-duty PAPRs like the CST ULTRA are compact (~ 450 g) yet powerful, providing continuous HEPA-level protection. For example, the CST ULTRA offers 99.97% filtration efficiency and up to 14 hours of battery life, with an IP65-rated enclosure for dust and water protection. These features ensure reliable protection throughout long shifts in harsh conditions.

• Mining & Underground Operations Respirators: Miners and tunneling crews face coal dust, silica, and toxic gases in confined spaces. The CleanSpace EX PAPR is intrinsically safe for explosive atmospheres (ATEX/IECEx certified). It delivers 99.97% particulate filtration in a compact, belt-free unit (under 500 g), improving mobility underground. With positive-pressure airflow and up to 8 hours of battery life, it keeps miners breathing clean air in harsh underground conditions.

• Oil & Gas Industry Respirators: Oil and gas workers encounter hydrocarbon vapors and flammable atmospheres. The CleanSpace EX system meets ATEX/IECEx standards for explosive zones and still filters 99.97% of particulates. Its IP66-rated housing and belt-free design allow use on offshore rigs or refineries, supplying continuous clean air during long shifts in hazardous petrochemical operations.

• Emergency & First Responders Respirators: Firefighters, EMTs, and emergency crews require fast, reliable breathing protection. CleanSpace PAPRs like the HALO and WORK series are wearable, full-head systems that supply filtered air during fires, rescues, or biohazard incidents. The HALO is approved for emergency responder use; its positive-pressure airflow and comfortable fit keep firefighters and paramedics safe from smoke, infectious aerosols, and chemical vapors during critical incidents.

Certified Protection

All CleanSpace respirators meet rigorous global safety standards and certifications. They are NIOSH-approved (High-Efficiency particulate class HE) and certified to EN 12942 (EU) and AS/NZS 1716 (Australia/New Zealand). For explosive atmospheres, the CleanSpace EX is ATEX/IECEx certified while still providing 99.97% HEPA-level filtration. By combining advanced HEPA filtration with ergonomic design, CleanSpace PAPR systems deliver top-tier respiratory protection and comfort, keeping workers safe in the toughest environments.
