• Pharmaceutical and chemical industry: Controlled atmosphere environments and hazardous product handling areas require a high protection factor PAPR system. The S-960 adapter is designed for these clean environments.

• Industrial painting and coating application: Spray operations require both motorized respiratory protection and a compliant helmet. The S-960 and TR-600 combination is particularly suited for these environments.

• Transportation and facility maintenance: Technicians working in confined spaces or near electrical hazards benefit from the Class E helmet and PAPR combination.

Comfort and ergonomics

The S-960 adapter attaches directly to the SecureFit H-700 helmet without tools. The connection with the Versaflo PAPR is stable and airtight, ensuring optimal airflow under all conditions. The integrated airflow adjustment (S-955 cover included) allows each operator to adapt the airflow rate according to their physical activity level.

Compatibility and versatility

The S-960 adapter is the universal Versaflo interface for safety helmets. A single adapter works with all Versaflo PAPR systems TR-300+, TR-600, and TR-800, as well as all Versaflo S-600, S-700, and S-800 series hoods. It simplifies equipment management and reduces training costs for teams using multiple PAPR systems.
