0700002400 - ESAB Savage A40 PAPR Air-Purifying Welding Helmet Kit

Advanced Respiratory Protection for Professional Welders

The ESAB Savage A40 PAPR Welding Helmet System (0700002400) represents a significant leap forward in personal protective equipment for the welding industry. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy fabrication, this system pairs the proven optical performance of the Savage A40 helmet with a robust, NIOSH-approved Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR). The primary function of this unit is to filter out 99.9% of fine airborne particles, protecting the operator from hazardous fumes, dust, and smoke generated during routine welding procedures.

At the core of the helmet's performance is its 1/1/1/2 optical-class lens, which utilizes ESAB's True Color technology. This feature provides a brighter, more natural view of the weld pool and surrounding area, reducing eye strain and improving weld quality. The large 100 x 50 mm (3.93 x 1.96 in.) viewing area offers excellent spatial awareness, while four arc sensors ensure immediate auto-darkening response, even when welding in obstructed or awkward positions. The shade level is easily adjustable between DIN 9 and 13 via an external knob, allowing for seamless transitions between different welding processes.

The PAPR unit itself is engineered for reliability and ease of use. It features a push-button interface with a clear LCD display that allows users to select from three airflow settings: 170, 200, or 230 liters per minute. The display also provides real-time feedback on fan speed, flow rate, and battery charge level. Powered by a high-capacity rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, the blower system operates quietly for up to 8 hours on a single charge, ensuring coverage for a full shift. Safety is further enhanced by a 2-stage filtration system that includes a spark arrestor and audible alerts for low battery or low airflow.

Comfort is paramount in the design of the Savage A40 PAPR. The lightweight helmet shell is supported by a fully adjustable multi-point headgear system, while the PAPR unit is carried by an ergonomic waist belt and shoulder harness. This distribution of weight minimizes fatigue, making it an ideal solution for welders requiring long-duration protection in industrial environments.
