Blower / Battery Assemblies - North Compact Air® PAPR Systems
PAPR Assemblies

North by Honeywell offers two Powered Air-Purifying systems: one for full facepieces, and one for loose fitting covers and hoods. Both blower battery assemblies are belt mounted and are NIOSH approved with a range of cartridges and filters for protection from many hazardous environments. Both featured-packed North systems offer the power and versatility to keep workers comfortable during long, hot jobs. Because blower facilitates flow of air through filters or cartridges, workers are not fighting breathing resistance - yielding less worker fatigue.
Applications:
Hot, dirty environments where mobility is required and supplied air is not an option. Examples: Heavy Manufacturing, Chemical Plants, Refineries, Smelting Operations

FEATURE

FUNCTION

BENEFIT

Belt mounted with ergonomically designed back pad

• Weight is distributed evenly on workers back

• Can be worn for long stretches without worker fatigue
• Weight of blower is not straining the worker's neck

Choice of nylon or PVC backpad and belt

• Nylon backpad is cooler and lightweight
• PVC is easy to clean - can be worn in an 'decon' shower
• PVC resists sparks

• More comfortable
• Facilitates decontamination and cleaning of back pad and belt - ideal for extremely dusty environments or when there is chemical exposure
• Can be worn when welding or grinding

Blower is in the back - out of the work zone

• Will not get in worker's way
• Weight is distributed on the back, not pulling down on the facepiece

• Workers are not fighting the breathing tube to see what they are doing
• Workers are more comfortable, less fatigued

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery

• Lighter weight than Cadmium batteries
• Faster charge - 4 hours or less
• No memory - battery does not need to be discharged before recharging
• Batteries will last for 8+ hours

• With less weight there is less worker fatigue
• Batteries can be recharged quickly for another shift
• You can recharge anytime, even if there is life left in the battery
• Stay on the job, no need to leave to change a battery

Smart charger

• Trickle Charge mode after the battery is fully charged

• Batteries can be left to charge overnight or the weekend without fear of overcharging

CONVERT YOUR NORTH HALF MASK OR FULL FACEPIECE TO A PAPR

Breathing tube threads onto facepiece
cartridge connectors

Use the same mask for Air-Purifying, PAPR and Supplied Air

• Allows flexibility to switch from APR to PAPR in seconds
• No need for adapter or tools
• No additional fit testing
• Reduces inventory

Over-the-shoulder 'Y' breathing tube design

Located on the worker's back

• Breathing-tubes are away from the work zone
• Even weight distribution
