Description
The X‑plore 8000 Filter HE is a high-efficiency particle (HE) filter designed specifically for use with the Dräger X‑plore 8000 powered air‑purifying respirator (PAPR) system. It protects the wearer from harmful airborne particles and aerosols (dusts, mists, fumes) by filtering out particulate contaminants while maintaining compatibility with the rest of the X‑plore 8000 modular filter system.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Description / Benefit |
|---|---|
| High Efficiency Particle Filtration | The “HE” designation indicates its capacity to filter out hazardous particles and aerosols effectively. It is a particle filter (P R SL) suitable for removing particulates from inhaled air. |
| Plug-and‑Go Design | The filter is built for quick, tool‑free installation/removal within the X‑plore 8000 system. |
| Optical / Sensor Monitoring | The X‑plore 8000 system can detect filter saturation and warns the user via optical, acoustic, or vibration alarms. |
| Compatibility & Modularity | Designed to work seamlessly with the X‑plore 8000 PAPR unit and compatible headgear, hoses, and system components. |
| Durability / Environment Resistance | In the broader X‑plore 8000 system, components have strong ingress protection (IP 65 against dust and water) which helps ensure reliability even in harsh work environments. |
| Standard Compliance | When used with the X‑plore 8000 system, the filter setup meets EN 12941 / EN 12942 and EU Regulation 2016/425 requirements for powered respiratory protection systems. |
Intended Use & Limitations
-
Use Case: For workplaces where airborne particles, dust, mists, smoke, or aerosols are present, but where no significant gaseous or vapor components are involved.
-
Not for Gases/Vapors Alone: Because this is a particle filter, it does not provide protection against gases, vapors, or chemical contaminants. For those, gas, adsorbent, or combination filters must be used.
-
Shelf Life / Storage: The filter must be stored in its original packaging in a dry, clean environment, protected from direct sunlight, and within recommended temperature & humidity ranges (e.g. –10 °C to 60 °C, ≤95% relative humidity).
-
Filter Replacement: There is no fixed usable time, since filter life depends on contaminant concentration, user breathing rate, humidity, temperature, etc. The system’s sensor and alarms help indicate when replacement is needed.
-
Proper Fit & Use: Must be used correctly with X‑plore 8000 PAPR and suitable headgear. Don’t attempt to use it outside of its intended system.
