The Optrel e3000 PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) Blower Unit, SKU 4551.100, represents the pinnacle of respiratory safety technology for professional welders and fabricators. Engineered to meet the rigorous TH3 certification standards according to EN 12941, this system filters out 99.8% of harmful particles, smoke, and aerosols, ensuring that the operator breathes clean, purified air even in the most contaminated industrial environments. The unit is designed as a modular component compatible with Optrel's extensive line of PAPR-ready welding helmets, including the crystal2.0, panoramaxx, and e684 series.
At the core of the e3000 system is an intelligent, sensor-controlled air management system. Unlike standard blowers that may fluctuate based on filter saturation or battery voltage, the e3000 automatically adjusts the motor speed to maintain a constant, preset airflow. Operators can select from three distinct airflow levels—150, 200, or 250 liters per minute—allowing for customization based on ambient temperature, workload, and personal physiology. This dynamic regulation ensures consistent positive pressure within the helmet, effectively preventing the ingress of contaminated ambient air.
The system is powered by a high-efficiency Lithium-Ion battery, designed to provide reliable operation for extended shifts. Depending on the selected airflow setting and filter condition, the unit can operate for up to 20 hours on a single charge. The intuitive control panel features an easy-to-read display indicating battery status and filter saturation levels. Furthermore, the unit is equipped with a comprehensive alarm system that provides both audible and visual warnings in the event of low battery power or reduced airflow due to a clogged filter, ensuring the user is never unknowingly exposed to hazards.
Maintenance and serviceability are key aspects of the e3000 design. The main filter and pre-filter are easily accessible and can be replaced without tools. The robust housing is built to withstand the harsh conditions of heavy industry, resisting impact and heat. This specific SKU (4551.100) typically includes the blower motor unit, battery, charger, comfort belt, and connecting hose, providing a complete foundation for a fresh air system setup.
