Updated helmet for blast operators
October 1st 2008 Hodge Clemco has
introduced a new blast
operator's helmet with
features that are designed to
improve comfort, visibility,
durability and convenience
for the wearer.
The main shell of the
Apollo 600 is made from
heavy-duty polypropylene
and is large enough for
operators to wear ear
defenders if they wish.
External noise
attenuation performance
is said to be better than
with the existing apollo
model, and noise from the
internal air-flow has also
been reduced.
The outer cover is deep
enough to provide good
protection from abrasive
rebound for the top of the
cape. The fixed visor gives a
wide view and is easy to fit.
Air-flow is fed through a
single hose to the front of
the operator's face. An
internal drop-down tab
warns of reduced air
pressure. More articles from Hodge Clemco: |
