X-plore 8000 gas filter K2 for ammonia and amines

Genuine Dräger X-plore 8000 Gas Filter K2 for the Dräger X-plore 8000 powered air purifying respirator, supplied as a single filter.

  • Filter type K2 – for ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives, the classic requirement in refrigeration plant, agriculture and fertiliser production.
  • Made for the X-plore 8000 blower – the bayonet fitting locates and seals against the blower unit, so the filter cannot be half-fitted without the user noticing.
  • Powered air rather than lung power – the blower draws air through the filter, which is what makes a full shift in a mask bearable and keeps a slight positive pressure inside the facepiece.
  • Genuine Dräger filter – certified to EN 12941 / EN 12942 as part of the approved X-plore 8000 system.

Key features of this filter

  • Class 2 – the higher gas absorption capacity, for longer working periods or higher ammonia concentrations.
  • A gas filter alone offers no protection against particles; add a particle filter where dusts or aerosols are also present.

Important safety information

  • Powered filtering devices must never be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres or where the contaminant and its concentration are unknown.
  • Only filters of the same type and class may be used together on one blower unit, and they should be replaced as a matched pair.

System compatible with this filter

  • Dräger X-plore 8000 powered air purifying respirator, with the X-plore 8500 or X-plore 8700 blower unit and an approved head top or mask
