Helmet with new air purifying respirator
05 September 2014
ESAB now offers a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) for its Warrior Tech 9-13 auto-darkening welding helmet.

The helmet, with ESAB’s Eco Air PAPR, is a full-face respiratory system designed to provide the highest safety and comfort for the welder. Made and tested to EN12941, the helmet with PAPR provides a rating of TH2P and uses a high performance P3 main filter to remove particulate matter.
It is said to deliver the maximum fresh air flow and offers protection against dangerous welding fume particles. Air movement over the face and head keep the welder cool and comfortable.
The Eco Air PAPR is lightweight and low profile to be easy to manage. It provides a comfort pad to help reduce welder fatigue and muscle strain over time. This unit also includes audible and vibrating alarms that notify the user of low battery or restricted airflow. The Warrior Tech helmet prepared for PAPR is fully assembled and ready to attach to the Eco Air PAPR unit, which comes complete and set up for immediate use.
Designed for use in all welding applications, ESAB’s Warrior Tech helmet meets the needs of welding professionals requiring a high specification, ergonomically designed, lightweight helmet that provides protection from dangerous UV/IR radiation, heat, and spatter.
Warrior Tech’s four welding arc sensors provide high response levels and a wider sensory coverage than many alternative helmets of this type. Its large viewing area (98 mm x 48 mm) coupled with a wider than normal field of vision, increase spatial awareness.
The helmet features shade adjustment between DIN 9 and DIN 13 with automatic shade darkening filter (ADF) lens and optical class 1/2/1/2.
