Product Overview

The Draeger X-plore 8300 is a compact powered air-purifying respirator designed for professionals who need reliable particle protection without compromising comfort or mobility. Its fan-assisted airflow removes breathing resistance, reduces heat build-up and prevents visor fogging, even during physically demanding work.

Weighing approximately 635 g including battery, the X-plore 8300 supports extended wear across long shifts while maintaining certified respiratory protection levels up to TH3 / TM3, depending on the selected headpiece.

Comfort & Ergonomics

Built for long shifts

• Lightweight, low-profile design reduces fatigue
• Waist belt or backpack options for balanced weight distribution
• Adjustable airflow with two flow levels
• Suitable for users with facial hair, no fit testing required for loose-fitting headpieces

This system supports natural breathing and unrestricted movement, allowing users to focus fully on the task at hand.

Safety & Intelligence

Designed to prevent user error

• Automatic self-test at start-up
• Audible and visual alarms for low battery or filter saturation
• RFID-based hose detection adjusts airflow automatically
• Mechanical filter locking prevents accidental disconnection

The X-plore 8300 actively monitors performance and alerts the user before protection is compromised 

Cleanability & Durability

Engineered for harsh environments
