Advanced Respiratory Protection

The Bullard 88VX is designed to provide respiratory protection in abrasive blasting environments where operators may be exposed to airborne dust and contaminants.

Features include:

• NIOSH-approved Type C and CE continuous-flow respirator design

• Sewn-in neck cuff providing a physical barrier against airborne contaminants

• Double-lined neck area for added durability

• Continuous breathing-air delivery to the operator

• Cape coverage for the head, neck, shoulders, and upper torso

• Protective helmet design for abrasive blasting applications

Comfortable Fit for Extended Blasting

Abrasive blasting can be physically demanding, particularly during extended cleaning and surface preparation jobs.

The Bullard 88VX incorporates several comfort features:

• Lightweight inner helmet shell

• Adjustable headband suspension

• Airflow directed toward the operator's breathing zone

• Comfortable neck cuff design

• Room for prescription eyewear and appropriate hearing protection

• Loose-fitting respirator design that does not require conventional tight-fitting facepiece fit testing

Head and Face Protection

The Bullard 88VX helmet helps protect the operator from abrasive rebound and flying particles encountered during blasting operations.

The helmet and cape provide coverage for the:

• Head

• Face

• Neck

• Shoulders

• Upper torso

The protective cape also helps shield the operator from abrasive dust, rebound, and coating overspray.

Wide-Angle Visibility

Maintaining a clear view of the workpiece is essential during abrasive blasting.

The Bullard 88VX features:

• Wide-angle viewing window

• Replaceable inner and outer lenses

• Protective Mylar lens covers

• Translucent yellow helmet shell

• Viewing arrangement designed to help reduce the enclosed feeling associated with blasting helmets

Replaceable lens components help extend the service life of the respirator and reduce downtime caused by scratched or damaged viewing surfaces.

F30 Constant-Flow Air Control

The 88VX3230 includes Bullard's F30 constant-flow control assembly with a 1/4" industrial interchange fitting.

The F30 is designed to deliver continuous breathing air when connected to a compatible Bullard breathing-air supply system operating within the manufacturer's specified requirements.

Unlike adjustable-flow configurations, the F30 uses a constant-flow design.

The F30 flow control must be used with the correct Bullard-approved breathing-air hose and supply equipment.

Applications

The Bullard 88VX3230 is designed for professional abrasive blasting applications, including:

• Industrial sandblasting

• Steel shot and grit blasting

• Structural steel surface preparation

• Industrial coating removal

• Shipyard and marine maintenance

• Tank and vessel surface preparation

• Bridge and infrastructure maintenance

• Industrial equipment refurbishment

• Commercial abrasive blasting operations
