Apollo 60 LP Supplied-Air Respirator (Rev. C) - 1

Description The Apollo 60 LP is a Type CE, continuous flow, supplied-air respirator with Constant-Flow Connector for abrasive blasting, for use with an ambient air pump. The high visibility red Apollo 60 LP is a double-shell helmet, with a full-view window, and a protective cape. Purpose The Apollo 60 LP is designed for use with an ambient air pump. It meets OSHA standards for respiratory protection and noise limitations. The Apollo 60’s full-helmet design protects the blast operator’s head from rebounding abrasive and from construction-site impact hazards. The heavy-duty cape protects the operator’s 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: • An ambient air pump that is NIOSH approved for use with respirators, capable of delivering 7 to 15 cfm of air at 8 to 12 psi • 1/2-inch x 50 or 100 feet respirator hose from the ambient air pump to the helmet connection • Protective clothing, gloves, and shoes suitable for a heavy construction site • Primary hearing and eye protection • Output from the ambient air pump must meet the standard for Grade D breathing air, as defined by the Compressed Gas Association, Commodity Specification: G-7.1 (www.cganet.com) Description of Operation The Apollo 60 includes a double-shell construction helmet supported by an adjust-able suspension. The operator adjusts the suspension to fit, then installs it in the helmet. A chin strap holds the helmet firmly in place. The wide, full-view window provides an expansive field of view. An inner fixed lens seals out dust and abrasive. Up to five lightweight, disposable outer lenses, held in place by a hinged frame, protect the inner lens from pitting. As the outermost disposable lens becomes pitted, it can be torn off to expose the next lens. The Apollo 60 LP comes with a Constant-Flow Connector that provides a fixed flow of air. A flexible breathing tube between the Constant-Flow Connector 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 must 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 slightly positive pressure inside the helmet, so exhaled air exits via the knit collar. Maintaining positive pressure inside the helmet helps keep out the potentially harmful dust and abrasive. Advantages • Requires no compressor, breathing air filter, or CO monitor • Wide, full-view window • Lightweight construction • Nylon carrying strap • Allows operator to wear supplementary hearing and primary eye protection Approvals and Certifications The Apollo 60 LP helmet is a NIOSH-approved type CE respirator (approval number TC# 19C - 358) and is recognized by OSHA as having an assigned protection factor (APF) against lead dust of 1000 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL). It also meets the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirement for hard hat protection. NOTE: Prior to use, ensure that the Apollo, type CE, supplied-air respirator is appropriate for your specific blasting conditions and requirements.
