Properties

Robust: Designed for daily use in tough environments, even in explosive atmospheres
The Dräger X-plore® 8000 features heavy-duty design with rubber protectors and high ingress protection (IP65) against dust and water jets from any direction. Two battery versions incorporating the latest Li-ion battery technology provide power for at least 4 h (standard version) or 8 h (high-capacity version), respectively. The air inlets are protected from frontal moving debris, ensuring that sparks or water do not come into direct contact with the filter.

Comfortable: Let the user focus on the task
The Dräger X-plore® 8000 lets your employees do their job and forget about the PAPR they need for proper personal protection. The advanced carrying system ensures optimal distribution of the weight. The system provides a tight and stable connection between the belt and the unit through a special adaptor plate; a comfort pad is also available as an option. The hose connector features a 360° click adaptor. New headpieces are designed for optimal airflow and maximum comfort to avoid unpleasant eye irritation.

Safe: Self-explanatory operation minimises user error
The unit recognises connected headgear and automatically selects the correct minimum flow rate, avoiding leakages caused by insufficient flow rates. An optical sensor prevents use without the filter and supports the right display of the saturation of the particle filter at any time. The filter system features plug-and-go exchange. In addition to the optical and acoustical alarm, the unit is also equipped with a vibration alarm. The entire system features uniform colour codes on all exchangeable elements and an error-proof hose connector.

Easy to maintain: Efficient cleaning together with secure operation
The Dräger X-plore® 8000 was designed to be practically maintenance-free, leading to low cost of ownership. The self-check and self-adjustment systems feature advanced temperature and pressure sensor technology to ensure the right flow rate for any environment. The simple and efficient charging system allows rapid charging (under 4 h for an empty battery). The unit is designed for fast and easy disassembly for cleaning.

Modular: A wide range of components for every application
The Dräger X-plore® 8000 offers a number of user-friendly standard and specialised carrying systems for standard and decontamination applications. Dräger has also developed a wide range of tight- and loose-fitting headgear such as half and full-face masks, short and long hoods and helmets with visor and protective visor. Standard and enhanced flexibility hoses are available and compatibility is ensured. Components and accessories can be combined to best fit your application, and system upgrades are possible at any time.

Respirators and equipment
Proper protection should be a matter of course for all work involving respiratory hazards. Unfortunately, it is still often underestimated how especially fine dusts, solvent vapors, bacteria, fungi etc. affect our health in the long term. Protect yourself sufficiently today to stay healthy in the future. Health protection at the workplace has become convenient, comfortable and easy.
Please note
So-called "coarse dust masks" do not protect you! Nevertheless, these masks are still widely used because they are cheap and the breathing resistance is pleasantly low. This face mask (the conventional name for the so-called "coarse dust masks") is not approved as respiratory protection. It neither offers protection from fine dusts and paint spray mist nor against released solvents and vapors.
