Optrel Helix 2.5 welding set with e3000X powered air system - 4550.600

At the heart of the Helix series is a unique, patented "slide-up" mechanism that lets you smoothly raise the module with the welding filter, revealing a large, clear visor. You can switch instantly between welding and tasks that need a clear field of view, such as grinding, fitting parts or inspecting the weld. All of this happens without taking the helmet off, which considerably improves ergonomics and work efficiency and eliminates repetitive, tiring movements. The slide-up design is a direct investment in saving time and reducing strain on your neck throughout the working day.

The Helix 2.5 is equipped with an advanced auto-darkening filter whose light state is just 2.5 on the DIN scale. This level of transparency gives you an exceptionally bright, almost perfectly natural view of the surroundings before and after welding. It makes precise material preparation, torch positioning and quality control easier without lifting the helmet. When the arc strikes, the intelligent ShadeTronic® technology automatically selects the right shade in the range 4-12, adapting to the light intensity. It is an investment in precision that results in better welds and less eye strain.

This version of the Helix helmet comes factory-integrated with a full-fledged hard hat that meets strict industrial safety standards. This design protects the head against impacts, falling objects and mechanical hazards, which is essential on construction sites, in production halls and in shipyards. Integrating head, face and eye protection into one coherent system removes the need for uncomfortable and often poorly fitting adapters. It is an investment in complete safety and in compliance with health and safety rules in the most demanding working environments.

The e3000X powered air system provides the highest possible level of respiratory protection, certified to class TH3 (to EN 12941). This means that the high-efficiency particle filter removes as much as 99.8% of harmful dust, fumes and aerosols from the air you breathe. The system creates constant positive pressure inside the helmet, effectively isolating the welder from the contaminated environment and preventing the ingress of welding fumes, which are classified as carcinogenic. It is a fundamental investment in your own health that lets you work safely for many years.

At the heart of the e3000X system is a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that provides up to 18 hours of uninterrupted work on a single charge. This power reserve lets you work comfortably through two full shifts without breaks for charging or changing the battery. It eliminates downtime and lets you focus fully on the task at hand, which is crucial on large projects and when working under time pressure. A power source of this capacity ensures continuity of work and maximum productivity.

The e3000X system offers three-stage electronic airflow control at 170, 210 and 240 litres per minute. You can adjust the airflow precisely to the ambient conditions and your own preferences. The highest airflow level (240 l/min) not only delivers the maximum amount of clean air but also creates a noticeable cooling effect on the face and forehead. This is an invaluable advantage when working at high temperatures, as it considerably reduces fatigue and increases comfort. It is an investment in thermal comfort that has a direct effect on the welder's concentration and productivity.
