The 200 or 300 series might be all you need, we have the 400's......they would all be similar if you want to try a 400

Hello Weeds,

Yep good old Blunder-berg ...

The other thing I did not mention is that I have a full beard so full lower shroud is the go. Toxic has also given me some leads to follow up too.

Thank you for everyone's polite suggestions When I get told where to go and what to do it is sometimes otherwise.

Kind Regards
Lionel

I have used the 3m Versaflo in contaminated remediation (asbestos)
Found they work very well and the battery life is good (9hrs). They can also be used with a PTT or voice activated 2 way
As somebody said about $2k but well worth it

Will have a look at what brand (I think 3M) Alcoa is using when I am down at the refinery next,they call them PAPR, but have not changed that much in 20 odd years. Used to use them often where there was fine Nickel dust when in production. I believe the improvements have been mainly in battery life and better fans with less noise.
They are a substantial investment though not sure of exact price.
