The 3M Versaflo TR-306N+ kit suits workers handling powders or operating machinery while moving around the shop. Its durable leather belt carries the powered unit at the waist, while the HE filter equips the filtration side of the TR-300+ system. The included high capacity battery and charger help organize charging at the workstation. This kit brings together the motor unit and its accessories; headgear and a breathing tube still need to be selected before use.

Why choose this durable belt kit

This configuration combines a TR-326 leather belt, TR-332 battery and TR-342N charger. It equips the powered portion of the respirator while allowing headgear to be selected separately. The TR-362 spark arrestor is included, but its presence does not make the kit suitable for every heat exposure.

Recommended Applications for powder handling

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this kit supports powder charging, transfer to mixers and machine operation where the exposure assessment calls for particulate filtration. Waist mounting suits movement between workstations. Select headgear and a breathing tube for the actual task before using the respirator in the production area.

Features and benefits

• TR-326 leather belt with metal buckles carries the blower at the waist.
• TR-301N+ bare blower: the contents distinguish the motor from its accompanying accessories.
• TR-3712N HE filter with TR-371+ filter cover equips the particulate configuration.
• TR-332 high capacity battery: 8 to 12 hours of run time depending on configuration and conditions.
• TR-342N charger, TR-3600 prefilter and TR-362 spark arrestor are included to equip the workstation.

Use limitations

The TR-300+ system filters particulates without removing gases or vapours or supplying oxygen. Do not use it in an oxygen deficient atmosphere. This configuration is not intrinsically safe and is unsuitable for an explosive atmosphere. Where the exposure requires different protection, have an appropriate system and approved combination selected for the hazard. A different cartridge cannot correct oxygen deficiency.

Detailed assembly contents

Order separately: headgear and a breathing tube approved for the selected combination.

Integration into a respiratory protection program

Selection among Versaflo powered respirators starts with particulate exposure and a component combination recognized by 3M. Plan training in assembly and pre-use checks, along with the care accessories required by the program. Approval applies to the complete assembled system.

Technical specifications and certifications

TR-300+ series, waist mounting and TR-3712N HE filter with magenta colour code. TR-332 battery run time is 8 to 12 hours depending on configuration and operating conditions. NIOSH approval applies only to a complete approved combination. The sales unit is one kit.

Care and service life

Before each use, inspect the blower, connections, belt and battery, then perform the required airflow checks with the TR-971. Remove damaged components from service. Do not wash the filter or prefilter or clean their media with compressed air. Do not immerse the motor or battery. Follow the 3M method for surface cleaning and component storage after use. The stated useful life of 36 months does not replace inspection or the need to change worn components.

FAQ: the TR-306N+ durable belt kit

What must I add before wearing the TR-306N+?

Headgear and a breathing tube compatible with the approved combination. The powered unit, filter, battery and charger are included, but do not by themselves make up the worn system.

Is charging equipment included?

Yes. The TR-342N single station charger accompanies the TR-332 high capacity battery, so charging can be planned with the supplied equipment.

Can the battery be planned around a full shift?

The stated range is 8 to 12 hours depending on configuration and working conditions. Plan charging around actual use rather than treating this range as a guaranteed duration.

Why choose the TR-326 belt?

This durable belt uses leather and metal buckles. It is the waist carrying option supplied with this configuration.

Can I use the filter for a task involving solvents?

The TR-3712N HE filter targets particulates. The TR-300+ system does not filter gases and vapours; work involving solvents requires respiratory selection appropriate to that exposure.

Complementary suggestions

For an operator charging powders with this kit, plan TenActiv gloves (GS13TAFNT) with nitrile foam coating for bag handling. Solus glasses (YAS1103) with amber anti-fog lenses equip tasks outside the headgear, and disposable cordless earplugs (O1100) complete hearing equipment according to the workstation. A yellow detachable 5-pocket vest (V6931) supports movement between shops, while black and yellow adhesive tape (ECT750) marks the transfer area edges.

For care of this durable belt assembly, the TR-301N+ bare blower (RVTR301N) and TR-326 belt (RVTR326) renew matching components. The TR-342N charger (RVTR342N) prepares batteries from this series for use. For a different carrying configuration, the TR-327 easy clean (RVTR327) belt is a separate option. The TR-362 spark arrestor screen (RVTR362) and the case of 40 TR-3712N-40 HE filters (RVTR3712N40) complete filtration replacements. Add approved headgear and a breathing tube separately before use.
