Purpose
The Apollo 60 HP meets ANSI
standards for impact protection and
OSHA standards for respiratory
protection and noise limitations. The
Apollo 60’s full-helmet design protects
the blast operator’s head from rebounding
abrasive and from construction-site
impact hazards.
The heavy-duty cape protects the
operator’s neck, shoulders, and chest
from rebounding abrasive.
Requirements for Operation
The following items are required or
recommended for operation, but are not
included with this respirator:
• Source of Grade D (or better quality)
breathing-air providing 7 to 15 cfm at
65 to 100 psi (If CAT or CCT is used,
increase cfm to 20)
• A breathing-airfilter (such as the
Clemco CPF) to remove oil, moisture,
particles, and odors
• Carbon monoxide monitor and alarm
(such as the Clemco CMS-2)
• 3/8-inch respirator hose from the
breathing-air filter to the helmet
connection
• Protective clothing, gloves, and shoes
suitable for a heavy construction site
• Primary hearing and eye protection
Description of Operation
The Apollo 60 includes a double-shell
construction helmet supported by an
adjustable suspension. The operator
adjusts the suspension to fit, then installs
it in the helmet. A chin strap holds the
helmet firmly in place.
The wide, full-view window provides an
expansive field of view. An inner fixed
lens seals out dust and abrasive. Up to five
lightweight, disposable outer lenses, held in
place by a hinged frame, protect the inner
lens from pitting. As the outermost
disposable lens becomes pitted, it can be
torn off to expose the next lens.
The helmet can be purchased with one of
the following:
• Constant-Flow Connector - fixed air
flow (no adjustment possible)
• Air Control Valve - to adjust flow rate
of incoming air
• Cool Air Tube - to cool incoming air
• Climate Control Tube - to cool or warm
incoming air as needed
With all but the Constant-Flow
Connector, the operator can adjust the
flow of air. None of the valves can be
adjusted beyond preset minimum and
maximum settings specified by OSHA.
A flexible breathing tube between the
valve and the helmet allows free
movement of the operator’s head. This
tube contains specially-formulated sounddeadening materials that help the
respirator comply with 80 dBA maximum
noise level while allowing free air flow.
While blasting, the operator must wear ear
plugs or other suitable hearing protection
and safety glasses or goggles.
The air enters the helmet at the rear,
travels through a sound-attenuating
distribution system at the top, and circulates
about the operator’s head and face. The
incoming air maintains positive pressure
inside the helmet, so exhaled air exits via
the knit collar. Maintaining positive
pressure inside the helmet helps keep out
potentially harmful dust and abrasive.

Approvals and Certification
The Apollo 60 helmet is a NIOSHapproved, type CE respirator (approval
number TC-19C-130) and is recognized
by OSHA as having an assigned
protection factor (APF) against lead dust
of 1000 times the permissible exposure
limit (PEL). It also meets the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI)
requirement for hard hat protection.
NOTE: Prior to use, ensure that the
Apollo, type CE, supplied-air
respirator is appropriate for your
specific blasting conditions and
requirements.
