Welding equipment manufacturer Kemppi strengthens its welding safety portfolio with new Alfa and Beta e-series welding helmets and respirators
Certified to the latest standards, the manufacturer stated that the new models offer excellent protection for arc welding, cutting, grinding, gouging and inspection processes.
The e-series models feature a lightweight and strong impact-rated shell. The spacious design features eyeglasses and half masks while allowing easy access to tight spaces.
Several settings and features support easy to fit and extra welding comfort, including a comfortable headband, integrated magnifying lens holder and a 20 per cent overall weight reduction compared to previous Beta models. The company stated that new optional leather neck and shoulder protectors were also available.
Safety Products Manager John Frost said, “Kemppi’s design team has taken ‘active welder feedback’ throughout the development of the new Alfa and Beta e-series models, providing greater wearable value with refined performance, durability, and comfort. Whatever your needs or budget, we’re sure you’ll find the protection from Kemppi’s welding safety range.”
The wide model range offers a choice
The Alfa e-series weight starts at just 467 g. The Alfa e-series models are durable, low-cost solutions that provide protection for all general welding applications and grinding, and are equipped with either a passive glass welding lens or auto-darkening ADF welding lens.
The Beta e-series welding helmets are designed for professional welders. Certified for welding, cutting and grinding according to EN175 B and AS/NZS 1337.1, the new lightweight Beta models start at just 473 g. The range includes three models that are equipped with either passive or automatic ADF lenses.
The Beta PFA/SFA/XFA e-series respirators offer reliable protection from work-related, airborne contaminants and are certified with a maximum inward leakage level of two per cent. They provide cool and clean breathing air from either a PFU 210e battery powered filter unit, offering optimal freedom of movement around the workspace, or a supplied breathing air solution, featuring RSA230 connection to a breathing air source.
