COVID-19 has focused manufacturers’ attention on personal protective gear and Allegro’s EZ powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) provides industrial-strength protection.

The motorized, lithium-ion battery operated system provides a constant supply of fresh, filtered air over the user’s face. It creates an optimal protective pressure at an APF level of 25 inside the respirator hood keeping out harmful particulates.

It’s lightweight (1.8 kg) and includes a disposable poly-coated or saran-coated Tyvek hood with attached flexible down-tube, rugged yet lightweight ABS Blower, HEPA filter, waist belt, flow tester, battery and charger.

Allegro is a supplier of safety equipment based in Piedmont, SC.
