The principle of respiratory protection is based on creating a physical barrier between the wearer and the ambient air. This can be achieved through various types of respiratory protection equipment, depending on the specific risks and conditions. We are happy to explain in detail how the Arbin Kite air hoods work.
Arbin Kite air hoods
The Arbin Kite air hoods are powered air-purifying visors with a motor unit mounted directly inside the hood. Thanks to this innovative design, the user can start using the device in no time. Contaminated air is purified at the rear by a particle filter, also known as a P3 or HEPA filter. The clean air is then guided through an air channel at the top of the visor, after which the purified air is blown into the mask.
Continuous airflow with constant quality
During use, it is important that the airflow is maintained continuously. No problem for the Kite air hoods. The electronic control ensures that the airflow is kept at a constant level of 160 litres per minute. This is more than enough to provide an adult user with sufficient air and maintain the positive pressure in the air hood. Even when performing heavy tasks or working at higher temperatures.
High ease of use and wearing comfort
The purified air is gradually directed towards the face. As a result, the user experiences a pleasant flow of cooling, clean air. It also ensures that the visor does not fog up and always remains clear. The Arbin Kite air hoods are perfectly balanced on the head, making them feel very light. The unique and particularly comfortable elastic face seal ensures slight positive pressure inside the air hood and thus prevents contaminated air from entering. This guarantees the highest possible degree of protection.
Automatic signal for contaminated filter or empty battery
During prolonged use of the Arbin Kite dust masks, the filter will slowly but surely become contaminated by the trapped dust particles. However, the software compensates for this by increasing the motor speed. At a certain point, an alarm tone sounds to alert the user to change the filter. You also hear this alarm tone when the battery voltage becomes too low. The user then has a few minutes to leave the workplace before the Kite switches itself off.
