Product Information

Full details

The 3M Versaflo Particulate + Nuisance Odour Filter is designed for professionals and industrial workers using the 3M Versaflo TR-600 and TR-800 Series Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) who require protection against airborne particulates alongside relief from nuisance-level organic vapors and acid gases. Its primary benefit is providing comprehensive respiratory protection in environments where dust, mists, or fumes coexist with irritating but non-hazardous odors. One notable caveat is that the 'nuisance odour' rating indicates this filter is not intended for high-concentration gas or vapor protection, meaning it should not be used as a primary defense against toxic chemical atmospheres.

FAQs

Can I use this filter for organic vapor protection in hazardous areas?

No. This filter is only for nuisance-level odors and does not provide protection against hazardous concentrations of gases or vapors.

How do I know when to change the filter?

Change the filter when the PAPR unit's low-flow alarm triggers or if the wearer notices increased breathing resistance or breakthrough odors.

Is this filter compatible with the TR-300 series?

No, the TR-6820E is specifically designed for the TR-600 and TR-800 series only.

Can I wash the filter if it gets dirty?

No, the filter is not washable. Washing will destroy the filter media and render it ineffective.

How should I dispose of used filters?

Dispose of the filter in accordance with local environmental regulations and your facility's safety policy regarding contaminated equipment.

Troubleshooting

PAPR unit alarm sounds shortly after installation

Ensure the filter is seated correctly in the bayonet connection; check for debris in the turbo intake port.

Increased resistance to breathing

The filter is likely saturated with particulates; replace the filter immediately.

Odor is still detectable during use

Verify the filter seal is tight and ensure ambient odor levels do not exceed 'nuisance' concentrations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Seamless integration with existing Versaflo PAPR systems
  • Effective at neutralizing common workplace nuisance odors
  • High particulate capture efficiency for respiratory safety
  • Simple, quick-lock mechanism for rapid replacements

Cons

  • Not rated for protection against hazardous gas or vapor concentrations
  • Adds weight to the overall PAPR system setup
  • Requires proper storage conditions to prevent premature saturation of the odor-neutralizing layer

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your 3M Versaflo PAPR unit is turned off. Align the filter with the intake port of the TR-600 or TR-800 Turbo unit and press firmly until you hear the audible click indicating a secure lock. For care, keep the filter dry at all times; exposure to moisture or high humidity can degrade the filter media. When not in use, store the unit in an airtight container or original packaging to prevent the nuisance odor layer from absorbing ambient contaminants, which can significantly shorten the filter's service life. Always conduct a system airflow check using the supplied flow meter before beginning your work shift.
