Sundstrom SR500 Powered Air Purifying Respirator
The Sundström SR
500 is a belt-mounted Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) that
supplies a continuous flow of filtered air to the user's breathing zone,
creating positive pressure inside the head-top or facepiece. This positive
pressure significantly reduces breathing resistance while helping prevent
airborne contaminants from entering the respiratory system, making it an ideal
solution for prolonged use in challenging work conditions.
Powered by a
high-performance lithium-ion battery, the SR 500 offers up to 13 hours of
operating time, depending on battery selection and filter configuration.
The intelligent airflow control automatically compensates for filter loading,
air pressure, and temperature changes to maintain consistent airflow throughout
operation. The unit also features an easy-to-read display with visual and
audible alarms that notify users of low battery, reduced airflow, or blocked
filters, ensuring maximum operational safety.
One of the key
strengths of the SR 500 is its modular compatibility. A single blower
unit can be used with multiple Sundström headtops—including hoods, face
shields, safety helmets, welding shields, half masks, and full face
masks—allowing organisations to adapt quickly to different applications while
reducing equipment costs. The system supports particulate filters, gas filters,
or combined filters, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial hazards.
Manufactured in
Sweden with exceptional engineering standards, the SR 500 delivers outstanding
durability, reliability, and user comfort. It is trusted in industries such as
pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, healthcare, laboratories, painting,
metal fabrication, emergency response, and hazardous material handling.
