0700002403 - ESAB Savage A40 Replacement Main PAPR Filter Cartridge

Product Overview

The ESAB Savage A40 PAPR Main Filter (SKU: 0700002403) is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the ESAB Savage A40 Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. In industrial welding environments, the integrity of respiratory protection equipment is paramount. This main filter serves as the primary defense against airborne particulates, metal fumes, and dust generated during welding, gouging, and grinding operations. By utilizing genuine ESAB consumables, safety managers and equipment maintainers ensure that the PAPR system operates within its specified performance parameters, delivering the required Assigned Protection Factor (APF).

The filter is engineered to fit seamlessly into the Savage A40 blower unit, ensuring a tight seal that prevents bypass leakage. Regular replacement of the main filter is necessary to maintain optimal airflow rates; a clogged filter can increase the load on the blower motor, potentially reducing battery run-time and triggering low-flow alarms. This unit measures approximately 5.2 x 7.9 x 1.8 inches and is manufactured to meet ESAB's rigorous quality control standards. It functions as the core filtration stage, capturing fine particles before the air is delivered to the welder's breathing zone.

Maintenance and Compliance

Proper maintenance of the PAPR system involves regular inspection of the main filter. It is recommended to replace this filter whenever the PAPR unit signals a low airflow warning that cannot be resolved by charging the battery, or if the filter shows visible signs of damage or heavy saturation. Using the correct OEM filter (0700002403) guarantees compatibility and preserves the warranty status of the Savage A40 equipment. This component is classified as a consumable part and is essential for facilities aiming to adhere to occupational health and safety regulations regarding welding fume exposure.
