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.

Safety & Intelligence

Designed to prevent user error

• Audible and visual alarms for low battery or filter saturation
