Purpose

N/A The Apollo 600 LP is designed for use with an ambient air pump. It meets OSHA standards for respiratory protection and air noise limitations. The Apollo 600’s full-helmet design protects the blast operator’s head from rebounding abrasive and from job-site impact hazards.
The heavy-duty silver-grey cape protects the operator’s neck, shoulders, and chest from rebounding abrasive.

Requirement for Operation

N/A The following items are required or recommended for operation, but may not be included with this respirator:

  • An ambient air pump capable of delivering 7 to 15 cfm of air at 8 to 12 psi
  • Approved 1/2-inch ID x 50 or 100 feet long 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

Advantages

N/A

  • Expansive, 180º full-view window
  • Multi-lens system with rugged, positive-latching window frame
  • Built-in mini visor prevents media ingress between lenses
  • User-friendly cape attachment system
  • Zip-in-and-out washable inner collar
  • Replaceable inlet fitting
  • Replaceable window latch
  • Generous interior dimension allows supplementary hearing and eye protection
  • Optional rectangular lens

Description of Operation

N/A

  • The Apollo 600 includes a knob- adjustable suspension. The operator fits the helmet to his or her head by turning the suspension knob clockwise to enlarge and counter-clockwise to decrease size. The suspension fits head sizes 6.5 to 8. The adjustable chin strap holds the helmet in position on the operator’s head.
  • The wide, full-view window provides an expansive field of vision. A series of lenses preserves the operator’s clear view of the work surface and protects the operator from dust and abrasive in the surrounding air. A replaceable fixed inner lens securely fits inside a molded rubber gasket. An intermediate lens protects the inner lens; and up to 3 tear-away (perforated) outer lenses complete the system. The tear-away lenses are removed one at a time to expose a clean lens beneath. The multi-lens system is held in place by a hinged frame with replaceable latch.
  • The Apollo 600 LP comes with a Constant-Flow Connector (CFC) that pro vides a fixed flow of air. It is engineered for flow settings as specified by OSHA.
  • A flexible breathing tube maintains air flow between the inlet fitting on the operator’s belt and a replaceable inlet fitting at the center rear of the helmet crown for maximum operator comfort and maneuverability. The tube contains specially-formulated sound-deadening materials to reduce noise levels of incoming air to 80 dBA.
  • The helmet is generously sized to allow ear plugs or ear muffs and safety glasses or goggles as needed.
  • Incoming air enters the system through the air control device on the operator’s belt. It continues through the breathing- air tube to enter the helmet at the inlet fitting at the center rear of the helmet crown. An air-distribution channel guides air over the head to the operator’s face.

Approval and Certifications

N/A The Apollo 600 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) for lead dust of 1000 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for lead dust. It also meets the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirement for industrial head protection as stated in ANSI 289.1-2003 as a Type I, Class G protective helmet.

Application Alert

N/A Respirators are not approved for use in any atmosphere immediately dangerous to life or health or from which the wearer cannot escape without the aid of the respirator. Before using any respirator, make sure that any airborne contaminants are not in concentrations that are in excess of those allowed by applicable OSHA or EPA regulations or NIOSH recommendations. Consult the product literature and owner's manuals for information concerning the proper function, use, and maintenance of these respirators. Always recommend carbon monoxide (CO) monitors.

Note

N/A Prior to use, ensure that the Apollo, type CE, supplied-air respirator is appropriate for your specific blasting conditions and requirements.
For safe, efficient blasting, read and follow the owner's manual and seek training for everyone who will use this equipment.
