Savage A40 PAPR Helmet

Including Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) technology, the Savage A40 PAPR Helmet is essential for workers in situations where welding fumes and particulates are a concern, such as for some cored wires, working in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, and for protecting operators from hexavalent chromium fumes, which are generated from stainless steel, chrome alloys, and chrome-coated metals.

The unit has three settings that adjust airflow between 170 to 230 l/min. to suit the environment and application. It operates at a quiet 70 dB and features a high-capacity, lithium-ion rechargeable battery that offers up to eight hours of performance between charges. It has a two-stage filtration system and visual and audible alarms signaling low airflow.

The helmet provides comfort and protection in all processes. It offers a 3.93 x 1.96 in. (99.8 x 49.8 mm) viewing area. Its 1/1/1/2 optical-class lens features ultra-clear true-color technology for increased weld pool clarity and enhanced definition. Additional features include four light sensors, providing a high response, especially when welding out-of-position, and 9-13 shade knob. Even while wearing a heavy glove, welders can activate a shade 4 Grind Mode on the left side of the helmet.

Sensitivity control is an adaptable feature useful when TIG welding at low amperage for better reaction. Delay control enables the welder to set how long the lens stays dark after the welding arc stops.
