The 3M Adflo High Efficiency (HE) Particle Filter (Part Number 15-0299-99) is a critical component for maintaining the safety and operational integrity of the 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. Designed to meet rigorous industrial standards, this filter provides high-efficiency filtration against a wide range of airborne particulates, including dusts, mists, and metal fumes generated during welding, grinding, and cutting processes. By effectively trapping these contaminants, the HE filter ensures that the air delivered to the user's headtop is clean and breathable, complying with NIOSH approval requirements when used as part of a complete system.
This product is supplied as a case of two filters, allowing safety managers and operators to maintain adequate inventory for routine maintenance schedules. The filter is engineered to be the final stage of particulate filtration in the Adflo unit, typically sitting behind the spark arrestor and pre-filter. Its pleated design maximizes surface area, allowing for optimal airflow while maintaining high capture efficiency. Regular replacement of the HE filter is essential not only for user protection but also for the longevity of the Adflo turbo motor; a clogged filter forces the motor to work harder, potentially shortening its lifespan and draining the battery faster.
Installation is straightforward and requires no tools, minimizing downtime in fast-paced industrial environments. The Adflo system itself is equipped with a filter load indicator, which provides visual and audible alarms when the filter is clogged and requires replacement. This feature removes the guesswork from maintenance, ensuring that workers are always protected by a fully functional filtration system. For environments where specific gas protection is also required, this HE filter can be stacked onto a 3M Adflo Gas/Vapor cartridge, offering versatile protection tailored to the specific hazards of the workspace.
Investing in genuine 3M replacement parts guarantees compatibility and performance. The 15-0299-99 filter is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure a perfect seal within the Adflo housing, preventing any bypass of contaminated air. It is an indispensable consumable for any facility utilizing 3M Speedglas welding helmets with Adflo PAPR technology.
