Key Features and Benefits in Detail

The ESAB EPR-X1.1 PAPR is made of key features that make it one of the most remarkable PAPR in the industry.

The key improvement of the EPR-X1.1 – Two-Stage Filter and Spark Arrestor

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:

  • User-Friendly Controls: To control the airflow of this respiratory system, you can find a push button directly on the respirator. The switch between the three speeds, thanks to this button, has never been that easy.
  • Audible and Vibratory Alarms: To enhance your safety while using this respirator, audible and vibratory alarms have been added to the respirator to alert you on low airflow and low battery level.
