Miller Gen 2 PAPR Blower Unit Replacement 287172

Stay Cool and Protected with the Miller Gen 2 Blower

When you are under the hood for eight, ten, or twelve hours a day, every ounce of gear matters. The Miller PAPR 2 Blower Assembly (287172) is designed to make you forget you are even wearing a respirator. Weighing only 3 pounds, this is one of the lightest blower units on the market, designed to sit comfortably on your lower back without dragging you down. If you have been hauling around an older, heavier system, upgrading or replacing your blower with this Gen 2 unit will feel like a massive relief for your back and shoulders. It’s all about keeping you comfortable so you can focus on laying perfect beads.

Control is right at your fingertips—or rather, right on your back. The built-in LCD screen takes the guesswork out of your equipment status. No more wondering if your battery will last until lunch or if your filter is clogged. The screen clearly shows you your battery level, how clogged your filter is, and which of the three fan speeds you are running. Want a bit more breeze on a hot day? Crank it up to the third speed. Need to conserve battery? Drop it down. The unit puts you in charge of your personal climate.

Safety doesn't have to be annoying. The Miller 287172 keeps you safe with smart alarms that vibrate and beep if something is wrong, like a low battery or low airflow. This means you get a heads-up before you lose protection, even if the shop is loud. Please remember, this item is the blower unit only. It’s perfect if you have damaged your existing Gen 2 blower or want a backup unit ready to go. It does not come with the battery, belt, or filters, so make sure you swap those over from your existing rig or pick them up separately. Keep your lungs clean and your welds cleaner with this top-tier blower assembly.
