For heavy-duty protection from fumes and particulates when welding, gouging and grinding, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products introduced the new ESAB PAPR (powered air purifying respirator) system at EuroBLECH 2018.
Compatible with a range of helmets, the robust ESAB PAPR weighs a comfortable 1kg and features a P3 filter and pre-filter to remove particulates. The latest control technology allows the operator to adjust air flow between 170 and 220 l/min to suit the environment and application.
As an extra measure of safety, it incorporates both visual and audible alarms to alert the operator in the event of a blocked filter or low battery.
