CleanSpace Respirators in Thailand, Supplied by Air Repair

The CleanSpace PAPR Range

CleanSpace’s current respirator range covers a spread of industrial and healthcare applications, each built around the same AirSensit powered platform with different facepieces, filters, and certifications:

• CleanSpace WORK: CleanSpace’s lightest industrial PAPR, built for high dust workplaces such as welding, construction and woodwork, with an approximately 8 hour battery run time.
• CleanSpace CST PRO / CleanSpace CST ULTRA: advanced PAPR platforms with extended run time of up to around 14 hours, higher peak airflow, and compatibility with a broader range of particulate and combined filters for more demanding or longer shift environments.
• CleanSpace EX: an intrinsically safe PAPR built for potentially explosive atmospheres, certified to IECEx and ATEX, for oil and gas, petrochemical and processing sites.
• CleanSpace HALO: a compact PAPR developed for healthcare, laboratory and pharmaceutical settings, with an IP66 rating for cleaning and disinfection between uses.

Each power unit pairs with a choice of half masks, full face masks, and particulate or combined gas filters, so the same platform can be configured for dust, welding fume, or, with the correct filter and EX rated unit, hazardous atmospheres. Filtration efficiency of up to 99.97% and CE, NIOSH, and AS/NZS 1716 approvals apply to the CleanSpace platform generally. Exact certification depends on the specific model, mask, and filter combination, which we’ll confirm for your application.

We’ll be publishing dedicated pages for each system shortly. In the meantime, our team can walk you through CleanSpace CST ULTRA, CleanSpace EX, or any other model by phone, email, or a site visit.

CleanSpace by Industry and Application

The right CleanSpace configuration depends on the hazard, not just the industry. As a general guide:

• Construction and demolition: cutting, grinding and demolition generate fine dust, including respirable crystalline silica. A lightweight PAPR such as CleanSpace WORK maintains positive pressure against leakage that disposable masks can struggle with on hot sites.
• Mining and heavy industry: long shifts, humidity and wash down requirements call for a sealed, IP66 rated unit with longer battery life, such as CleanSpace CST PRO or CST ULTRA.
• Welding and metal fabrication: welding fume requires reliable particulate filtration that does not add breathing resistance under a welding helmet. CleanSpace WORK is designed to pair with common welding headgear.
• Oil, gas and processing: anywhere a spark is a hazard, the respirator itself must be certified not to become an ignition source. CleanSpace EX is intrinsically safe and IECEx and ATEX certified for these zones.
• Healthcare and laboratory: clinical and pharmaceutical environments need a respirator that can be cleaned and disinfected between uses without compromising the seal or filtration. CleanSpace HALO is built for this setting.

Where a workplace involves more than one hazard, such as dust and heat, or fume and confined space, tell us the details and we’ll recommend a configuration rather than guessing from the industry name alone.

AirSensit Technology and What Sets CleanSpace Apart

CleanSpace’s AirSensit system is a breath responsive control that increases airflow as the wearer inhales and reduces it on exhale, rather than running the fan at a fixed rate throughout the shift. This allows CleanSpace units to run for hours on a compact, head worn battery without the weight of a belt mounted pack. If the system cannot reliably detect breathing, it automatically switches to a constant flow safety mode and alerts the wearer, ensuring protection is maintained either way.

Because CleanSpace units use loose fitting or specifically designed facepieces depending on the model, fit testing requirements vary by product. Some configurations reduce or remove the need for annual quantitative fit testing. We’ll confirm this for the specific model and mask you’re considering, as this affects your workplace’s compliance programme.

Which CleanSpace System Is Right for You?

Choosing between CleanSpace WORK, CST PRO, CST ULTRA, EX and HALO comes down to four questions:

1. What’s the hazard? Particulate dust, welding fume, an explosive atmosphere, or a biohazard or infection control setting.
2. How long is the shift, and how demanding is the environment? Heat, humidity, and shift length affect the run time and IP rating you need.
3. Does the site require intrinsic safety? If there is any risk of an explosive atmosphere, only an EX certified unit is appropriate.
4. What mask style suits your workforce? Half mask, full face, or loose fitting facepiece, including compatibility with facial hair, glasses, or other PPE such as welding helmets.

Rather than guessing from a spec sheet, send us your hazard, shift pattern and headcount and we’ll recommend a specific configuration, including mask size and filter type, before you commit to a quote.
