Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets with Powered Air-Purifying Respirator


Filter out harmful air while you weld. These helmets have a built-in connection for the included powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR). The respirator supplies continuous filtered air to reduce breathing effort and minimize heat buildup inside these helmets. It also filters out at least 99.5% of harmful particles like smoke, aerosols, and dust. For comfortable all-day wear, they are lightweight and connect to a belt on your back for unrestricted movement. A rechargeable battery powers the respirator for up to 18 hours.
When you start to weld, five sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They allow for a better look at your weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain. A nose cutout lets these helmets sit closer to your face for a six-times larger viewing area than standard helmets for higher quality welds. Without the need for a larger lens to enhance peripheral vision, these helmets are lighter and have longer battery life. Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.
Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.

Filter Lenses for Welding Helmets and Goggles
Replace the filter lens on your welding helmet or goggles. These lenses reduce glare and filter out harmful infrared radiation. They are available in shade numbers 4 through 14.
Use cobalt blue lenses for metalworking applications such as torching and brazing. They enhance visibility by filtering out intense light produced during metalworking. Do not use for welding applications.
