HX5 PAPR vs. PX5 PAPR Comparison

RPB's new HX5 PAPR provides NIOSH approved APF 1000 loose fit respiratory protection at a price point that is more than $200 less than the popular PX5 PAPR. And you're really not sacrificing many other features - a single speed fan and removal of the vibration alarm are really the only things your team might notice.

Here's an excerpt from RPB's HX5 & PX5 Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Comparison sheet showing only the features that are different between the two models:

HX5 PX5 Differences

 

Outside of these few features, the HX5 is the same size and performs at the same level as the PX5 and boasts the same fast-charging, long-life lithium-ion battery that will provide 10+ hours of protection. It also uses the same HE filter that filters 99.97% of particulates down to 0.12 microns. The HX5 has not been CE or AS/NZS approved yet.

Organic Vapor and Acid Gas and Multi-Gas filters are now available for the PX5 PAPR! Their use will require a new Gas Filter Door for the PX5. As noted above, you cannot use these with the new HX5 PAPR.

New PAPR Accessories

RPB Backpack Harness and Breathing Tube Assembly for PX5 & HX5 PAPR

The new RPB PAPR Backpack Harness is a productivity enhancing boon for many operators who were unable to find a comfortable placement with the traditional waist belt. With the PX5 or HX5 PAPR suspended in the middle of your back, it is much less likely to get in the way. Using the backpack harness requires the use of a shorter breathing tube.

RPB has also released a disposable Tychem 4000 PAPR Cover that is an excellent option in pharmaceutical settings, higher moisture settings or any application where adding a disposable cover makes the cleaning and maintenance of the PAPR better for the company's productivity.

These new accessories are compatible with both the PX5 and HX5 PAPRs.
