It’s useful for frontline workers who would not have to use masks while at work
Fisher Pumps, a Coimbatore company, has launched Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) that can be used by doctors and frontline workers. According to Parthiban Ramaswamy, Managing Director of Fisher Pumps, the PAPR, branded as Fisher AirPro, is designed in-house and is ready for commercial launch. It took about a year to design the product, he said. The AirPro consists of a face gear and hip unit that are connected by an air hose. The hip unit supplies filtered, pure air to the face gear. Hence, the frontline workers would not have to use masks while at work. The batteries and blower motors are sourced and the P 100 filters used are certified ones. The company fabricates the gears and assembles these here.
