Hard work never felt so easy!

The Helix CLT fits perfectly with Optrel’s helmet-independent fresh air system Swiss Air. But that's not all. Because now you can also weld, cut, or grind with the Helix Pure Air CLT as a fresh air helmet in combination with the ATEX-certified e3000X PAPR system.

Clean and fresh air is channelled directly into the helmet, where it circulates around your head, protecting you perfectly and keeping you pleasantly cool at the same time. This makes Helix Pure Air the first helmet of its kind in the Helix family.

An ATEX-certified PAPR system such as the e3000X provides clean and fresh air and protects you from the harsh reality of smoke, aerosols, dust, and harmful gases. All this is in combination with the usual advantages of Helix: It is lightweight, easy to adjust, and perfectly balanced – thanks to the innovative slide-up technology.

Fronius Welding Helmets FAQs

Answers for buyers choosing and looking after Bluetooth-enabled auto-darkening welding helmets, including those used with a powered air system.

Why choose a welding helmet with a powered air system?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Welding fume is a health risk, and the HSE says that for arc welding a powered or supplied air respirator is the preferred option, ideally one that combines respiratory, eye and face protection with an assigned protection factor of at least 20. A helmet designed to work with a powered air unit gives you that combined protection in one piece of kit.

Tight-fitting masks can become uncomfortable, and people then loosen or remove them. A powered system blows filtered air across the face, which many welders find easier to wear for a full shift. Check the unit's data plate and manual to confirm it suits the helmet you choose.

Do I need a gas filter as well as the particle filter?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

It depends on the work. The HSE points out that particulate filters do not protect against the gases that are present in welding fume. Depending on the process, the material and any coatings, your risk assessment may call for a combined filter that also deals with gases or vapours.

Always use the filter types and breathing tube that the powered unit's maker approves for your helmet, as mixing parts can invalidate the protection. If you are unsure which filter your work needs, our team can help you choose, but the final decision should rest on your risk assessment and the maker's instructions.

How do I check a powered air unit before I start welding?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Follow the maker's pre-use checks every time. These normally include a look at the filters, hose and seals for damage, checking the battery level, and testing the airflow with the flow meter or indicator supplied. Many units also have a low-airflow warning, and if yours does you should confirm it works as the manual describes.

Do not weld if the airflow check fails or the warning does not work. Replace blocked filters as the manual describes, and keep a spare charged battery if you weld for long periods. The exact test method differs between units, so use the instructions that came with yours.

What does a shade range of 5 to 12 mean?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The shade range shows how dark the lens can be set when the arc is lit. A lower number lets through more light, which is helpful for low-current work where you need to see detail, while a higher number is darker and suits higher currents. A wide range lets one helmet cover a variety of jobs.

The right shade depends on the process and the welding current, and it is normally taken from the shade selection table in the relevant standard or the helmet manual. If the process you use needs a darker or lighter shade than the range allows, that helmet is not suitable for it.
