3M GVP-100 Motor Blower

The 3M GVP-100 Motor Blower is a belt-mounted PAPR blower unit worn at the waist that delivers filtered air to a compatible hood, helmet, or facepiece. It is the blower component of the 3M GVP belt-mounted powered air-purifying respirator system, designed to work with other kit elements such as the GVP-111 battery pack and GVP-112 charger to form a complete assembly. In typical configurations, the GVP-100 appears as the blower motor included in kits like the GVP-614-SK, which bundle the blower (GVP-100) with the battery, charger, belt, and other accessories. The GVP series is described by 3M as a belt-mounted PAPR lineup; however, the line has been discontinued by the manufacturer in favor of Versaflo systems, with newer Versaflo TR-series configurations largely replacing the older GVP setups. This system is intended for industrial respiratory protection, delivering filtered air through tubing to a hood, helmet, or facepiece to support worker comfort and protection in environments requiring powered airflow.
