Clemco CAP-4 Ambient Air Pump

The Apollo Ambient Air Pump conveys breathing air from a clean-air environment outside the work area to low-pressure respirators worn by one to four operators inside the blast environment. The CAP-4 pumps air to the respirators without introducing oil, carbon monoxide, or other contaminants.

Advantages

• Supplies air for up to four blast operators wearing type CE helmets or up to six operators wearing full face masks
• Eliminates the expense of separate compressor for breathing air
• Uses compressed air for power; works where no electric power is available
• Eliminates danger of carbon monoxide poisoning caused when high temperatures break down compressor’s lubricants
• Requires no temperature alarms or additional air line filters
• Works with Clemco’s CO Monitor Alarm (when specifications call for air monitoring)
• Model CAP-4C includes integral two-wheel cart and extendable handle
• Protective cage (both models) shields critical components from damage
• Easy to operate and maintain
• Can serve as air source for other respirators that operate at 9 cfm at 10 psi

Requirements for Operation

The following items are required for operation, but are not included with this equipment:

• Compressed air supply between 30 and 70 cfm (depending upon the type and number of respirators used) capable of producing at a minimum of 85 psi with respirators connected, not to exceed 100 psi
• One to four NIOSH-approved low-pressure, type CE supplied-air respirators or up to six full face masks, approved to operate at 10 psi or less, and suitable for the application
• Appropriate approved respirator hose(s)
