The new Pro Air supplied-air-respirator (SAR) system from Axis Products protects against the hazards of paint mists and fumes, chemical and welding fumes, and dust from sand blasting and sanding. This system uses a smooth, quiet, and powerful turbine to provide a constant flow of about 7 cfm of cool, fresh air to the positive-pressure face mask. Breathing is easy because the user is never pulling air through partially clogged filters, and the part of the face covered by the mask is constantly bathed in fresh air. Connections are snap-together fittings, and the masks attach at a beltline hookup.

Approved by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, the Pro Air system comes in various configurations for one or two users, with air supply hoses from 40 to 80 feet long and a choice of half-masks, full-face masks, and protective hoods for painting or sandblasting. The compact system can be plugged into any 110-volt outlet. Accessories are provided for remote air intake and through-the-wall air supply installations. All components are covered by a full one-year warranty.
