Welding fume is a kind of dust which arises during the welding process (consumption of electrodes, additives etc.). Harmful welding smoke even occurs during welding of standard steel whereas high-alloyed steel additionally forms nickel compounds and/or chromates which are carcinogenic.
     

Therefore the direction on
hazardous materials requires
that harmful welding smoke
has to be extracted at the
point of origin by suitable
measures.

Many times an efficient
extraction is not possible
before the fume reaches
the breathing area of the
welder.

In these cases the respiratory
systems (powered air respirator or compressed air supply) offer the optimal solution.

A welding helmet equipped
with an auto-darkening welding
filter offers undisturbed view to the welding process and the surroundings during close and open state of the filter. It is not necessary to tip up the helmet and therefore respiratory protection is always guaranteed.

The respiratory system supplies purified air to the breathing area of the welder. A
weak over-pressure prevents
that contaminated air from the outside enters into the breathing zone. The welder
is able to work in a comfortable
way.

The blower unit is equipped
with a highest grade particle
filter. The worker is able to
move in an uninhibited manner,
because the blower unit
is fixed at a belt and worn on
the backside of the welder.

The supplied airline system is
used in areas where it might
be the danger of low concentration of harmful substances. A spiral hose conducts the compressed air to
the valve fixed at the welder's
belt.

Depending on the use, budget
and requests there is the
possibility of different combinations of masks, filters
and respiratory units.
