0700002023 - ESAB Eco Air & Aristo Air Pre-Filter Replacement (Pack of 5)

Technical Overview of ESAB 0700002023 Pre-Filter

The ESAB 0700002023 is a specialized pre-filter designed for use with ESAB's Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems, specifically the Eco Air and Aristo Air units. This component serves as the first line of defense in the respiratory protection system's filtration hierarchy. By physically intercepting larger airborne particulates, such as coarse grinding dust, metal shavings, and heavy welding fume aggregates, the pre-filter prevents premature saturation of the main P3 particle filter.

Constructed from high-permeability synthetic fiber media, the pre-filter maintains optimal airflow rates while effectively separating contaminants. Regular replacement of the pre-filter is critical for maintaining the PAPR unit's calibrated airflow (typically 170-210 L/min) and preventing strain on the blower motor caused by excessive filter resistance. This item is supplied as a pack of 5, ensuring operators have sufficient stock for routine maintenance schedules in industrial environments.

Integration of this pre-filter into the daily equipment setup is essential for compliance with manufacturer maintenance protocols. It fits seamlessly between the spark arrestor (if equipped) and the main particle filter, requiring no tools for installation. Its usage is directly correlated with reduced operational costs by maximizing the service intervals of the primary filtration unit.
