288356 - Miller Face Shield PAPR System with Clear Lens and Gen 2 Blower

Technical Overview of the Miller Face Shield PAPR System

The Miller Face Shield PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) System, SKU 288356, is an advanced respiratory protection solution engineered for industrial environments requiring high-efficiency particulate filtration. This system integrates a clear face shield with Miller's Gen. 2 Blower Assembly, providing an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 25. The core of the filtration system is a HEPA filter capable of capturing 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns, effectively protecting operators from solid dust particles, metal fumes, mists, and hexavalent chromium.

The Gen. 2 Blower unit is designed for versatility and control, featuring three distinct airflow settings: Low (175+ LPM), Medium (195+ LPM), and High (215+ LPM). This allows the operator to tailor the positive pressure airflow to the specific environmental conditions and metabolic needs. The unit is powered by a lightweight Lithium-ion battery, rated for 500 charge cycles, which provides up to eight hours of continuous operation on the high setting. The system includes two batteries to ensure zero downtime during extended shifts. An integrated LCD display provides real-time metrics on fan speed, filter saturation levels, battery status, and current time, while audible and vibrating alarms alert the user to low battery or reduced airflow conditions.

The head assembly utilizes Miller's exclusive Dualtec Manifold System, which directs air through a six-point distribution network within the headgear. This design optimizes helmet balance and sound dampening while ensuring consistent cooling across the operator's face. The lens itself employs High Definition View (HDV) technology, utilizing optical grade polycarbonate to eliminate distortion and provide a sharp, detailed field of view. The system meets rigorous safety standards, including NIOSH 42 CFR 84 for the respiratory components and ANSI Z87.1+ 2015 for the face shield impact protection.
