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

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has developed the new Savage A40 powered air-purifying respirator helmet. It’s suitable for use when 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, lithium-ion rechargeable battery that offers up to eight hours of performance between charges.

The two-stage replaceable filtration cartridge meets NIOSH certification requirements and removes 99.9% of airborne particles, according to the company. Visual and audible alarms signal low airflow.
