Savage A40 PAPR helmet from ESAB offers heavy-duty protection from welding fumes

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has developed the Savage A40 powered air purifying respirator helmet. It is suitable for use 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.

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