With the right type of filter, the Adflo PAPR can protect welders from both particles and gases.

[@adrianford447]

Great unit with a few major faults. slight tap of the adflo unit and the battery disconnects and it turns off. Yes I have cleaned the terminals and set the battery connectors, it still does it. other fella I was working with last week finally spat it, after multiple disconnects and threw his off the scaffold. Left site and purchased an esab unit. Think I will do the same im over the constant disconnections. second fault flip up screen for welding is great but there is no protection for the inside of the welding screen so it collects grinding dust. as the inner screen slides in and out it eventual gets scratched. Thanks for a good pair and welding visor but im down with it.

Hi Adrian, we're sorry to hear you're having difficulties with your Adflo. Can you please email us at [e-mail] with your contact info and location? We'd like to help. Thanks.

Is there a warranty? This is a very expensive piece of equipment. All the models are....

[@100reality2]

I paid over $2000 in Australia for the 9100fx kit with 2 batteries after less than 6 months the automatic dark lense stopped working and had to be replaced,I have also noticed even welding with a hood on my face got burnt because light gets in the top between the plastic and the Kevlar material at top of helmet and also getting light from the bottom......the fresh air is amazing and so much better than having a resperator on all day but the price of the unit and replacement parts is a total joke and after mine breaking after such a short period of time I'm really annoyed.

[@stephenbirch9436]

Same problem waiting for replacement

[@pashabulker12]

Do you still use this product, if so how is it holding up?

[@morganschiller2288]

I have had mine for two months now and its my best friend. Best 1700 I have spent. I took the filter assembly apart to clean it, as it sounded like it was getting bogged down. The mesh screen and filter in the back, or the front was indeed dirty, better the filter than I am I right!. How do I know when its time to change the filter? I have been stuck welding brass and I have been noticing its subtle aroma. The filter in the plastic case still looks clean. By the way the optics are AMAZING my boss told me to never weld with my Lincoln hood.

Oh wow this is really cool I been thinking about starting this amazing trade but my parents rose the problem about toxic fumes especially because I had asthma as a kid, so this can largely ruminate toxic fumes from entering your lungs?

[@vasiostiopo3503]

Yes you can.ive got asthma and work ad a welder.as long as you wear it most of the shift you'll be fine

[@matwey967]

Can the gas filter catch the particles, that develop if you weld aluminum, i mean those particles which can cause lung cancer?

[@nickthedane1]

Dmitry Levinov Yes

[@alienairguns]

The pre-filter and particulate filter catch the particulate. I use this system for welding wires containing manganese, stainless steels and hardfacing wires which contain hexavalent chromium. The gas filter is for organic compounds like thinners and paints but I use this also as extra protection, plus it doubles as a nuisance smell filter. If the particulate is getting to the gas cartridge it will clog it quickly so you need to keep the filtration in front of it in good condition.

[@Sasskin]

@@alienairguns the paper filter won't catch any fumes its for dust only that's why it's called dustfilter. The gas filter is what you are supposed to use but like you said even if you replace not filters the adflo still shows that the filters are glogged and it's time to replace filters in summon pice of underpowered crap

[@3MSpeedglas]

Hi there! Thanks for your question! To help us better assist you, please confirm what you are exposed to at work, including the chemicals you are exposed to. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

[@VladimirChudinov]

@@3MSpeedglas hello, thanks. I will do welding using electrodes (mma) with base coating. Maybe some grinding also

[@3MSpeedglas]

Thank you for elaborating on your concern. Please note particle filters are always recommended for welding. We have P100 filters with nuisance OV that filter some gases and vapors. The 2097 P100 is commonly used for welding. Here is the product link: s.3m.com/09fsfs47 Hope this helps.

[@alassanshakhtar]

How can I know when its time to change the Gas filter?

[@3MSpeedglas]

Hi Alassan, changes should be made on schedule decided from thorough environmental analysis made by health and safety experts since each environment is different. However, if you smell a "break through" of any kind, the filter should be immediately changed out, since that indicates you have used it too long.

[@alassanshakhtar]

@@3MSpeedglas thank you, unfortunately my company doesn't have any schedule yet, it is a metal recycling company and I do oxyfuel cutting outside, primarily steel and other metals sometimes(stainless, etc). Could you give me an average time(examples after two weeks) when to change it in such environment?

[@dariusdarius5228]

From 2:26 min.,whats that?

It is a nuisance odour filter

How much does it cost ???

I bought used one for $50 10 years ago. Now people are crazy and want $250 for a used one. I should've bought 10 of them along with helmets years ago, so I could trade them now for a good car LoL.

Yes this fits with all Speedglas welding helmets that are prepared for incorporating an active respirator system. For example 9100-Air, 9100 FX-air and 9100 MP helmets. Thanks!

Where can I buy

[@mrbonzzai]

Is this similar to the versaflo tr-600 ?? Is one older than the other?

[@3MSpeedglas]

Yes Adflo and TR-600 are similar to each other. Adflo was introduced to the market long before TR-600. Adlfo is specifically designed for welders which TR-600 is not.

[@deanj846]

@@3MSpeedglas 3m couldn't give a single f**k about welders...

[@JoseLara-io2uv]

Will this fit on a 9100XXi???

[@3MSpeedglas]

The 9100 XXi is a welding filter and as long as you attach the welding filter to one of these helmets it will work: 9100 Air- helmet, 9100FX-air helmet, 9100MP-helmet or 9100MP-Lite helmet . It is the welding helmet that decides if it can be combined with an Adflo PAPR. What is the name/model of your current welding helmet?

[@luvdmx6941]

Just curious. What happened if you weld without the inner filters?? I think the filters draining the battery life and they're not cheap either
