Finally a Fresh Choice in Approved Respiratory Protection for Blast Cleaning

Already previously meeting the certification requirements of AS/NZS1716, the PanBlast™ Titan II SAR Blast Helmet system provides the EU market with the latest generation of an established and proven product range which is now certified to the latest CEN European Standard EN14594: 2005 Respiratory Protective Devices which has superseded EN271: 1995, an older, but now withdrawn standard, to which most PPE equipment currently available on sale in the market today were previously certified to.

A complementary product range to the PanBlast™ Titan II SAR Blast Helmet PPE system is the PanBlast™ range of respirator airline filters which remove residual odors, oil and mist from EN12021 quality breathing air being supplied to the blasting operator from the compressor. The blasting operator can select a suitable unit from the PanBlast™ range of respirator airline filters, which include the Visiflo, PBF and PBF Junior.

The Titan II SAR is designed to protect the blasting operator from rebounding abrasive dust, debris and excessive noise levels generated from the abrasives blasting process. The standard supply airflow indicator with its simple red/green operation provides for operator protection and peace of mind by knowing that the airflow to the SAR is within regulatory specifications.

Weighing only 2.3kg (5.07 lbs), the PanBlast™ Titan II SAR is available with it’s alternate air flow control devices: Air Flow Controller, Air Cooling Controller and Climate Controller to provide maximum operator comfort. These alternate airflow control devices are connected to the Titan II SAR blast helmet via the ultra flexible and lightweight AcoustiFlex Breathing Tube, a special and innovative sound deadening hose in the industry because of it’s non-directional and impossible-to-plug design.

The PanBlast™ Air Flow Controller is a basic and economical airflow control unit, which is suitable for users that do not require cooling or heating of EN12021 quality breathing air being supplied to the Titan II SAR. Should cooling of the breathing air be required, the PanBlast™ Air Cooling Controller can be used to reduce the incoming air temperature by up to 19 degrees Celsius (34 degrees Fahrenheit). When both cooling and heating of the incoming air is required, the PanBlast™ Climate Controller can be used to cool or heat the incoming air temperature by up to 16 degrees Celsius (30 degrees Fahrenheit), thus providing breathing air at a comfortable temperature to the operator.

All alternate flow control devices some complete with a nylon waist belt for unit attachment to the operator’s waist during use. These alternate flow control devices do not require batteries or electrical power to operate and only require the supply of EN12021 quality breathing air from the compressor for reliable operation.

The ultimate breathing air filter comes in the form of the PanBlast™ VisiFlo Respirator Airline Filter – it heralds a new generation of breathing air filters with the advent of an indestructible clear housing tube which allows the operator to visually check the both air supply quality and the condition of the filter cartridge in use during operation for peace of mind. The unit can be installed in both horizontal and vertical configurations and also comes with wall mount capability. A carbon monoxide (CO) monitor kit/alarm is also available for direct mounting to the unit for additional operator protection.

The PBF and PBF Junior Respirator Airline Filters offer a more conventional product range for blasting operator protection. These airline filter systems can be configured for single or multi-operator operation and offer the same level of protection as the VisiFlo, but is more economical to use. Like the VisiFlo, a portable carbon monoxide (CO) monitor kit/alarm is also available for additional operator protection.

All PanBlast™ respirator airline systems can be optionally fitted with MicroMist Filters to additionally remove water vapors and oil mists down to 1mg/m3 and particulate down to 0.3 micron in size from EN12021 quality breathing air from the compressor.
