Optrel Helix Quattro welding set with e3000X ATEX powered air respirator, 4550.610

The auto-darkening filter in the Helix Quattro achieves the perfect 1/1/1/1 rating to EN379. This means top optical quality, no image distortion, perfectly uniform shade across the entire filter surface and reliable performance regardless of the viewing angle. This uncompromising quality is essential when working in awkward positions and at unusual angles, where a constant protection level is absolutely critical. As a result, the welder sees the weld pool clearly and without interference, which minimises eye strain. Investing in the top optical class means precise work and maximum eye protection in typical workshop conditions.

The innovative “slide-up” mechanism is a unique feature of the Helix series that changes the way you work. It lets you raise the auto-darkening filter module quickly and smoothly, uncovering a large, panoramic protective visor. The welder can switch instantly between welding and auxiliary tasks such as grinding, marking out or weld inspection without removing the whole helmet. Face and eye protection stays uninterrupted, as does the constant supply of clean air from the PAPR system. It is an investment in ergonomics and productivity that eliminates lost time and improves working comfort.

ShadeTronic® technology works like an intelligent autopilot for your eyes. An advanced system of five sensors constantly measures the intensity of the welding arc and selects the ideal shade level fully automatically and in real time, across a broad span from 4 to 13. This removes manual adjustment and the guesswork over which protection level is right, which matters especially when welding parameters change. The technology ensures that your eyes are always protected by the optimum shade level. It is a direct investment in greater comfort, less fatigue and the ability to focus fully on the quality of your weld.

The e3000X powered air system provides the highest possible level of respiratory protection, certified to the European standard EN 12941 as class TH3. This means the high-performance particle filter removes as much as 99.8% of harmful dust, fumes and aerosols from the air you breathe. Constant positive pressure is generated inside the helmet, which effectively pushes contaminants away and stops them from entering the breathing zone. It is a fundamental investment in your own health, protecting you against irreversible lung disease and allowing you to work safely for many years.

The e3000X system is designed for work in varied and demanding conditions. You have three airflow settings to choose from: 170, 210 and 240 litres per minute. This lets you match the system output precisely to your physical effort and the ambient temperature. The highest setting, 240 l/min, not only delivers the maximum amount of clean air but also produces a noticeable cooling effect on the face and forehead. It is an investment in thermal comfort that significantly improves performance and well-being when you work in a hot environment.

Optrel e3000X is a closed, precisely engineered ecosystem in which every component works perfectly with dedicated Optrel helmets. This integration ensures optimum, even air distribution inside the shell, without unpleasant draughts irritating the eyes. The high-performance lithium-ion battery included in the set allows continuous work for up to 18 hours on a single charge, which is enough for two full shifts. It is an investment in reliability and continuity of work that eliminates downtime for charging.
