Features
Features
-
Lightweight Compact Design - With the complete system weighing just 2.55lbs, the already light HX5 strategically distributes weight through vertical mounting and contouring to the users back.
-
Decontaminable - Sleek, considered lines and surfaces combined with a quick release belt mounting system ensures the decontamination process can be as simple as possible.
-
Ingress Protection - With a completely sealed housing, the PX5 has been engineered to meet IP53 in full operating trim.
-
Battery - Sealed inside the unit, the long-life lithium-ion battery is protected so it will not disconnect or bump off while in operation. Lasting 10+ hours, the HX5 will supply clean filtered breathing air for an entire shift.
-
High Efficiency (HE) Filter - The filter media removes up to 99.97% of particulates down to 0.12 microns.
-
Mount Lock System – The HX5 unit attaches to the flexi-belt (fitted with either a standard belt or FR rated belt), via our intuitive mount lock system.
-
User Interface – Intuitive LED user interface indicates airflow and battery level.
-
Alarming - Visual and audible alarms alert the user to low battery level, or when airflow falls below the minimum requirements due to the filter needing replacing or an obstructed air flow.
-
Filter Safety - The filter door cannot mount to the unit unless a filter is fixed in place. The PX5 cannot unknowingly be operated without a filter being installed to ensure users are always breathing clean filtered air.

PX5 Comparison
RPB's new HX5 PAPR provides NIOSH approved APF 1000 loose fit respiratory protection at a price point that is more than $200 less than the popular PX5 PAPR. And you're really not sacrificing many other features - a single speed fan and removal of the vibration alarm are really the only things your team will probably notice.
Here's an excerpt from RPB's HX5 & PX5 Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Comparison sheet showing only the features that are different between the two models:
Outside of these few features, the HX5 is the same size and performs at the same level as the PX5 and boasts the same fast-charging, long-life lithium-ion battery that will provide 10+ hours of protection. It also uses the same HE filter that filters 99.97% of particulates down to 0.12 microns.
