Hey there
Some weeks ago i bought a double shield mask for grinding and welding with a respirator system , this stuff works great but I found a little issue so I would like to compare to any other who uses a respirator ( the brand is CleanAir Basic EVO )
It's a typical motor and filter that stays behind me with a belt , then a tube goes from there to the inside of the mask , my face is covered around by a special fabric to don't let fumes/sparks go in , so only fresh air comes in . Well I've noticed that while I'm grinding , sometimes , I can smell a bit of 'grinding odour' , not so much but it's a bit annoying . I found on the manufacturer catalogue a pre-filter made with activated carbons which should catch odours , but the problem still remains .
I made some mods : I made me a special soft bag which holds completely the filter/motor body , and things are getting better , the second one is to change the fabric inside the mask with a heavier one which does not allow hodours to pass ( I've made some tests and that looks like to be the main problem )
So my question is if anyone of you guys had some kind of 'problems' like mine with grinding odours with respirator masks .
Just to clarify my dealer checked all the system and he told me that it's ok and well assembled
Thanks
