Safety is a paramount concern in the welding industry, especially when it comes to the welding fumes. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states that all workers must wear respiratory protection while working.
There are different types of fume protection for welders, from welding fume extractions units at source, to air-fed welding masks, depending on your needs. At Engweld, we know the importance of selecting approporate fume protection. This is why we are experts in assisting you and providing the best in class equipment for the safety of you, the welder.
As ESAB is one of the leaders in the welding industry, from ESAB welding machines to ESAB welding PPE, we are proud to stock online the ESAB EPR-X1.1 PAPR, one of the most efficient Powered Air Purifying Respirator in the industry.
In this guide, we'll offer a comprehensive overview of the ESAB EPR-X1.1 PAPR by highlighting key features of the EPR X1.1 PAPR and help with any air fed helmet compatibility issues in the ESAB range.
A PAPR or Powered Air Purifying Respirator is a type of respiratory system that uses a battery-powered blower to supply clean and filtered air to the worker. It will offer respiratory protection in various environments and against harmful welding fume particulates.
PAPR are used for different purposes, from occupational to full-time industrial, they are a must have for all works in an unsafe fumes environment. The main industries where you can find PAPR protections are automotive, general manufacturing, heavy fabrication, industrial and agricultural equipment.
The ESAB EPR-X1.1 stands out from other PAPR thanks to various features such as, its powerful blower with adjustable airflow and its easy to use, robust and compact design. But let’s get deeper into what makes this PAPR so special and suitable for all workers.
The ESAB EPR-X1.1 PAPR is made of key features that make it one of the most remarkable PAPR in the industry.
The biggest improvement from the EPR-X1 to the EPR-X1.1 is the new Two-Stage Filter and Spark Arrestor. The ESAB PAPR unit features a HEPA-quality filter, certified to EN12941 TH-3P, ensuring the highest standard of respiratory protection. This is thanks to the new Esab Epr X1.1 Gas Filter that have been integrated to the EPR-X1.1 in addition to the Carbon Pre-Filter and the Spark Arrestor.
This two-stage filter system, combined with a spark arrestor, effectively captures and removes hazardous welding fumes and particles. The filter is easily accessible and replaceable via a removable front cover on the unit, making maintenance quick and straightforward.
With the help of a powerful and adjustable airflow, the ESAB EPR-X1.1 is your closest ally to help you in everyday safety when welding. You can choose between three speed settings, 170, 190 and 210 l/minute during your welding process; depending on the environment you are working on you’ll be able to adjust the power of your respiratory system. This is a helpful feature if you are working on a long project and don't want your battery to die.
With its brand new design, the safety and usability of the EPR-X1.1 have been improved to meet the needs of today's welder:
