Apollo 20 HP Supplied-Air Respirator (Rev. D) - 1

Description TECHNICAL DATA SHEET The Apollo 20 HP is a Type CE, continuous-flow, supplied-air respirator for abrasive blasting, to be used with a compressed air source. The bright green helmet has a box-front window, and a protective cape. The Apollo 20 comes standard with DLX comfort-fit suspension. Apollo 20 HP Supplied-Air Respirator For use with compressed air supply Note: For safe, efficient blasting, read and follow the owner's manual and seek training for everyone who will use this equipment. Purpose The Apollo 20 HP is designed for use with compressed air systems. It meets OSHA standards for respiratory protection and noise limitations. The Apollo 20's full-helmet design and heavy-duty cape protect the blast operator's head, neck, shoulders, and chest from rebounding abrasive. Requirements for Operation The following items are required or recommended for operation, but are not included with this respirator: • Source of Grade D (or better quality) breathing air providing 7 to 15 cfm at 65 to 100 psi (if Clem-Cool or CCT is used, increase cfm to 20) • A breathing air filter (such as the Clemco CPF) to remove oil, moisture, particles, and odors • Carbon monoxide monitor and alarm (such as the Clemco CMS-2) • 3/8-inch x 50-feet approved respirator hose from the breathing air filter to the helmet connection, stock no. 04415 • Protective clothing, gloves, and shoes suitable for a heavy construction site • Primary hearing and eye protection Description of Operation The Apollo 20 is a single-shell construction helmet supported by an adjustable suspension. The DLX comfortfit suspension surrounds the operator’s head with comfortable padding. A chin strap holds the helmet firmly in place. The rectangular window provides a clear field of view. An inner fixed lens and one middle lens seal out dust and abrasive. Up to three lightweight, disposable outer lenses, held in place by a hinged frame, protect the middle lens from pitting. As the outermost disposable lens becomes pitted, it can be torn off to expose the next lens. The helmet can be purchased with one of the following: • Constant-Flow Connector — fixed air flow (no adjustment possible) • Air Control Valve — to adjust flow rate of incoming air • Clem-Cool Air Conditioner — to cool incoming air • Climate Control Tube — to cool or warm incoming air as needed With all but the Constant-Flow Connector, the operator can adjust the flow of air. None of the valves can be adjusted beyond pre-set minimum and maximum settings specified by NIOSH. A flexible breathing tube between the valve and the helmet allows free movement of the operator’s head. This tube contains specially-formulated sound-deadening materials that help the respirator comply with 80 dBA maximum noise level while allowing free air flow. For maximum protection while blasting, the operator should wear ear plugs or other suitable hearing protection and safety glasses or goggles. The air enters the helmet at the rear, travels through a sound-attenuating distribution system at the top, and circulates about the operator’s face. The incoming air maintains positive pressure inside the helmet, so exhaled air exits via the knit collar. Maintaining positive pressure inside the helmet helps keep out potentially harmful dust and abrasive. Advantages • DLX comfort-fit suspension • Box-front window features economical replacement lenses • Sound-attenuating, air-distribution channel • Lightweight construction • Molded-in carrying handle • Allows operator to wear supplementary hearing and primary eye protection Approvals and Certifications The Apollo 20 HP helmet is a NIOSHapproved, type CE respirator (approval number TC-19C-338) and is recognized by OSHA as having an assigned protection factor (APF) against lead dust of 1000 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL). NOTE: Prior to use, ensure that the Apollo, type CE, supplied-air respirator is appropriate for your specific blasting conditions and requirements.
