OTEX Manufacturing has long been at the forefront of balancing safety and usability, and with the introduction of the ION2 ventilator, the company continues to redefine the standards of arc flash hood ventilation. The ION2 ventilator represents the next evolution in OTEX’s ventilation lineup, offering a smaller, lighter, and more efficient alternative to the original ION model. Despite its reduced size, the ION2 delivers an impressive airflow exceeding 25 cubic feet per minute (CFM)—a significant achievement in maintaining clear vision and breathable comfort inside the hood. The unit’s adjustable speed control allows wearers to fine-tune airflow to their preference or environmental conditions, improving adaptability across diverse work settings.
Weighing just one pound, the ION2 is notably lighter than its predecessor, reducing strain on the wearer and enhancing mobility during extended use. Its integrated rechargeable battery supports more than eight hours of continuous operation at maximum speed and nearly 24 hours at lower settings, providing reliable performance across a full shift or longer.
Charging is straightforward thanks to a conveniently located port on the unit, while a three-stage light indicator clearly communicates: Blue-power on; Green-full charge; Red-Power low charge levels-ensuring users always know when to recharge. The battery is also rated for approximately 500 charge cycles and can be easily replaced if necessary, reinforcing OTEX’s commitment to product longevity and sustainability.
