Cub48 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I am looking into buying a fresh air mask system. I was wondering if anyone is using a fresh air system. I have used the filter mask over the last few years and have fans for vent. I am going to need to go to a fresh air system or stop making baits. I have looked at all the systems on ebay and though of making my own but was wanting everyones sugestion and info. Cub48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I have only seen them for dust, and the intake was on a belt mounted power pack and filter. But that was 20+ years ago. You can check a woodworking supply store like Rockler to see what's available now: http://www.rockler.com/search/go?w=dust masks In order for a mask that filters organic vapors to work, it has to have the proper organic vapor filter with a large capacity, and a fan system to deliver the clean air. Maybe Grainger's would carry that kind of mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cub48 Posted April 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 The fresh air system i am looking at has a pump that u set outside of your shop and it pushes air into your mask. There are ones that are on your waist belt but that would not any better than a regular respirator .I was wonder if anyone had made their own. I also saw the ones that use the compressor air don't think i would want that as the tank collects moisture and rust, with oil from the cylinder.Cub48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landry Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I use one for painting soft plastics. Works great. A little more annoying to use do to the hose and air pushing on your face but I find that even when wearing a mask with organic vapour filters, plastisol gives me a dry throat and I am sure it is not great on the lungs.
