AKETEK® Lift-Up AIR

€1,050.00

This complete protective system combines the protective capabilities of our AKETEK® Lift-Up welding helmet and our AKETEK® AIR PAPR unit – ensuring efficiency and safety in demanding environments. 

The AIR unit is our newest powered air-purifying respiratory unit that filters the air that you breathe, filtering up to 99,97% of all airborne particles. It is rated class TH3P and sits comfortably on your lower back, held in place by an adjustable belt and upper body harness that distributes the weight evenly between your shoulders and midsection.

The AIR unit works quietly and efficiently with a battery life of 13-16 hours* depending on operating mode, ensuring that it can last throughout the whole day. It works tirelessly to provide you with clean and breathable air. The air is supplied to you in a consistent airflow with our True Flow system that adjusts the motor speed fan continuously. You can set the flow mode to low (170 l/min) or high (220 l/min) depending on the demands of your working environment. 

The helmet model has the same features and qualities as our standalone AKETEK® Lift-Up and is suitable for electric arc welding (MIG/MAG, MMA, TIG), plasma welding & cutting, and grinding. It has a light state shade of 3 and a variable dark state shade in the range of 8-12. This ensures optimal visibility and protection during your work. The auto-darkening filter in all of our helmets is rated 1/1/1/1 by EN379, offering the highest level of optical clarity and safety.

* The battery life depends on the filters' condition.

Lift-Up AIR visor capabilities

The AKETEK® Lift-Up AIR welding helmet combines the convenient lift-up visor with a TH3 PAPR system that provides additional protection against harmful airbourne particles. This combination allows the welder to clearly inspect through a large transparent screen without having to remove the helmet, staying safe and protected in environments where clean air is a necessity.
