All of the benefits of the 9100 Welding Shields can now be used in combination with powered or supplied air respiratory protection.
- The air duct provides a refreshing airflow across the entire breathing zone
- The all-new face seal readily follows the contours of the shield and face
- Superior optical performance
- High-comfort headband
- SideWindows Shade 5
With its smart, compact design, the 3M™ Adflo™ Powered Air Respirator is specially designed to meet your welding needs. Its continuous airflow provides filtered air that takes much of the heat and sweat out of welding. By using the Adflo respirator, you get both increased protection and comfort all day long.
The Turbo unit draws air through a spark arrester, pre-filter and particle filter (and gas filter when used) to reduce respiratory hazards. It then feeds the air, via the breathing tube, into the welding shield. The constant flow of filtered air and the comfortable face seal keep contaminated air outside the shield.
The new Adflo unit features Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries, which are more than 40% lighter than the NiMH batteries used in the original model. The lighter battery has the same lifetime as its predecessor and also benefits from a faster partial charge time.
