The 3M Adflo PAPR HE Particulate Filter is a critical component designed for the 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. Engineered to meet rigorous industrial safety standards, this high-efficiency (HE) filter is capable of capturing 99.97% of airborne particles, including those commonly found in welding, grinding, and metal processing environments. By effectively trapping metallic fumes, dusts, and mists, it ensures that the air delivered to the user's breathing zone is clean and safe, complying with NIOSH regulations for respiratory protection.
Maintaining the integrity of the PAPR system relies heavily on the condition of the particulate filter. The 3M Adflo unit is equipped with a smart flow indicator that alerts the user when the filter load has increased to the point where airflow is restricted. Replacing the HE filter promptly is essential not only for user safety but also for the longevity of the blower motor. A clogged filter forces the motor to work harder, potentially shortening the battery runtime and the lifespan of the unit. This replacement filter (SKU 15-0299-99) is the standard HE specification required for all Adflo motor units.
For optimal performance, this HE filter should always be used in conjunction with a pre-filter (sold separately). The pre-filter captures larger particles before they reach the main HE filter, significantly extending the service life of this more advanced component. In environments with specific gaseous hazards, this particulate filter can be stacked onto a 3M Adflo gas and vapor cartridge, providing a modular solution tailored to the specific contaminants present in the workspace. This versatility makes the Adflo system a preferred choice for safety managers seeking comprehensive protection for their welding teams.
Technical specifications include a robust pleated media design that maximizes surface area for filtration without creating excessive breathing resistance. The filter housing is designed for a secure, airtight fit within the Adflo unit, preventing any bypass of contaminated air. Regular inspection and replacement of this filter are mandatory protocols for any respiratory protection program involving the 3M Adflo system.
