The Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR)
- Synonymous with Respiratory Protection for WeldersOne of the most popular PAPR’s in the world, the award-winning Adflo has become synonymous with welder’s powered air protection and provides increased protection and comfort all day long.
- Because you only have one pair of lungs The 3M Adflo provides a required minimum protection factor of 50 for mechanically and thermally generated particles and conforms to Australian & New Zealand Standard AS/NZS1716 (respiratory protection).
- Exclusive Adflo airflow patternThe exclusive airflow pattern evenly distributes filtered air throughout the entire breathing zone of the welder. The intelligent PAPR unit keeps the airflow rate at a constant level. A diffuser spreads out the airflow pattern for your maximum comfort.
- One Hour Rapid Charge Battery with Long LifeThe new Adflo lithium-ion battery charges from 0-80% of its full capacity in approximately one hour and lasts approximately 8-10 hours depending on conditions. Indicators assist the welder in knowing when to change the filters and to charge the battery.
- Super Light Welding Respirator with Slim Profile On body powered air respiratory protection allows for full-mobility and the slim profile makes the Adflo perfect for use in tight spaces. The system has recently been reduced in weight by a further 15%.
- Self-Adjusting Breathing HoseThe Quick Release Swivel (QRS) allows for one handed connection and release. The self-adjusting length means the hose is always kept close to the welder to prevent snagging on surrounding objects.
- Stackable Protection from Welding Fume, Particles and Gases With the right type of filter, the respirator can effectively protect against both particles and gases - an important welding safety feature.
- Standard & Airflow Plus The respirator airflow is always a constant nominal rate of 170 litres per minute regardless of the battery’s charge or the particle loading of the filter. For hot, humid jobs, you can increase the airflow to 200 litres per minute to reduce welder fatigue and increase your overall comfort and welding safety.
- Industry Leading Warranty Protection: The Adflo PAPR features a revolving two year warranty. Experience a problem with the system in the first two years and your 2 year warranty protection starts again. Speedglas helmets and Adflo PAPR systems are built to last.

-
I have had my helmet for about 4 years now and I love it for both grinding and welding with any process. The view is like no other helmet, and it'll save you from breathing in dust and fumes from welding/grinding/sanding steel. Also very comfortable to wear all day, and the battery life is unreal.
-
I love my Speedglas 9100 FX Air because it's comfortable enough to wear all day, can switch between filter shades with just a push of a button and allows me to have two hands free while tacking. It's also very durable, so needs little maintenance and works as hard as I do!
-
Comfortable and well put together with good vision. Switching to the powered air models was an even safer option, and now I wouldn't use anything else!
-
The FX Air with Adflo PAPR has been the best thing I have bought for all-purpose welding, cutting and grinding. The settings giving the variety to use for plasma and welding are great, plus you're not going home at the end of each day coughing up black gunk.
-
Best eye protection I ever bought, and I feel so much better after doing a lot of welding day in day out. The air filters are so worthwhile, as we only have one set of lungs!
-
Great vision when welding, love the flip-up clear screen for grinding and having fresh air come in when welding 6-8 hours a day. Definitely have noticed the difference being an asthmatic in the industry.
-
My 9100 FX Air is one of the few welding helmets I've ever used and now I wouldn't use anything else. Crystal clear vision when welding or air arc gouging and the Adflo distributes nice cool air all over your face.
-
Clear vision, can use it for grinding without changing your helmet, and the air flow does a great job protecting from fumes.
-
In all my years of welding, I've never encountered a welding helmet this versatile, powerful, productive and safe. I cannot imagine not having one.
-
It's the most comfortable helmet to wear over a 12 hour period. Also easy to use even with the flip up lens for grinding and blowing down your job.
-
Love the positive pressure system and clean air. Clear view both when welding and with the screen flipped up.
-
Like a space helmet for engineering! If you don't have one, you need it... can wear it all day whether grinding or welding, with no need to change the visor all the time.
-
Vision is the most important factor to welding for me, and this Speedglas helmet has the best viewing area.
-
The most user friendly and comfortable helmet on the market, with minimal issues even in the harshest environments.
-
Of all the welding helmets I've used in 42 years of experience, this is the best for me without a doubt.
-
The Adflo is great given I weld a lot of paint and gal, glad not to be breathing in all that!
-
Amazing quality, easy to use features, great for every job and great for your lungs... don't feel like I'm gasping for air after a day's work. Quality helmet!
-
Was experiencing headaches and throat irritation after welding without PAPR despite what seemed to be adequate workshop ventilation. Those problems stopped when I started using the Speedglas 9100 FX Air.
-
This helmet is super comfortable and has the best optics of any I've used. Paired with the flip-up grinding shield and the Adflo PAPR, there is no comparison.
-
Helps me stay protected from welding fumes and concrete dust. Love the big view. It also helps me stay cool. The auto on is an awesome feature.
-
No more gritty eyes from smoke fumes and dust particles!
-
I use it for everything: a versatile, reliable helmet that makes me look more professional as well. It's so clear and I love it.
-
Love it because it's auto darkening, has a flip visor for grinding and keeps stuff out of my lungs. Don't have to swap helmets all the time.
-
Been using this product for approximately 2 years now without any worries. Reliable and durable, with functions that are efficient to use and easy to maintain.
-
I feel completely comfortable when using it. One of the best and safest helmets in the market at the moment.
-
Having the Adflo stops me breathing in nasty welding fume, while the flip up screen lets me grind without breathing in all the dust!
-
My FX Air is amazing, easily adjustable and stops me breathing in harmful fumes. Couldn't ask for a better helmet and can't recommend it enough!
-
It's reliable, simple, easy to see through and the Adflo keeps fumes away without blasting me with air!
-
It's been the best investment, my lungs say thank you!
-
Fantastic, can weld all day with no problems. Doesn't get hot or stuffy which is what I hate about a normal face mask.
-
Can breathe 100% better, no coughing after welding gal. Best investment for my health.
-
I'm an asthmatic, so the Adflo really helps with dealing with dust and fumes. Also really comfy to wear over a long shift.
-
Large viewing screen, cooling attachments for 45+ degree days, filters and attachments for all needs. Industry leader, why would you choose anything else?
-
Love how all the stuff in the filters is not in my lungs, and no foreign bodies in my eyes anymore!
-
The Adflo unit keeps up fresh air to breath, while the great field of view stops people speaking up and messing with you.
-
Cool air on my face, and keeps sparks off my face and neck. Just makes fabricating and welding that much more pleasant.
-
Best vision I've had while welding, comfortable for the user and supplies me with fresh, clean air to breathe.
-
I weld a lot of galvanised steel and it's so nice coming home being able to breathe comfortably after a day of welding.
-
Very clear to see where you're going while welding and can do anything once it's on, best helmet on the market.
-
Love the clarity of the lens and how it is air fed. Keeps me from being exposed to welding fume all day.
-
I'm now able to breathe filtered air and protect my health for the future.
-
Comfortable with cool filtered air. Nice!!
-
Unlike other safety equipment, the guys actually like to wear them. Safe. Comfortable. Clean air.
-
Enables me to go home feeling safe and protected. Not breathing in harmful toxins is the best!
-
Great for controlling dust and fumes, the guys at work love them. Why didnt we get them sooner!
-
My 9100 FX Air meets all my fabrication demands, giving me great visibility and control while keeping me comfortable and safe from hazardous welding byproducts. I wouldn't recommend anything else.
-
I'm a third year apprentice and I have never had weld flash or respiratory problems because of my 9100 FX Air. Both the helmet and the Adflo are second to none!
-
This welding helmet helps to protect my lungs from welding fume and cools my head during summer sessions.
-
Been using since 2009 when doing general fab and pressure welding. Was such a relief with all that dust around and made welding quite relaxing and stress free.
-
Helps my asthma, allowing me to do my job better! I've always used Speedglas and always will!
-
Great quality, with consumable parts and spares that are easy to find as I travel around the country doing site work. Love the look and design, plus it's durable enough to have survived many drops and throws!
-
Absolutely awesome quality when darkened, I mostly use the FX Air for an easy switch from weld to grind.
-
It's comfortable and has never flashed me on startup like other, cheaper helmets have done in the past.
-
Clear view, plus the benefit of air moving around my head whilst welding in the north west.
-
Best thing to use on hot day. Everyone at work gets jealous of my 9100 FX Air!
-
They are super comfy and the Adflo lets me leave work feeling good!
-
Stops all the fumes from going into my lungs.

This is the ultimate welding helmet!

We have found them very effective and comfortable to wear, allowing us to weld safely and well.
-
I love my Speedglas helmet, it fits well and is comfortable to wear all day! Also love the large grinding shield when the lens is flipped up, not to mention the colours through the lens are the best I have used!
-
Protects me from fumes without straining my eyes like conventional helmets! As an apprentice, I want to keep good health and still be fit for work in 30 years.
-
A quality helmet that I can trust! I know I'm breathing clean air due to the filtration from the powered air unit. I've also found the helmet to be very comfortable to use and wear.
-
I've been a boilermaker for 35 years, and every time I pull on my helmet I think of how many lives this would have improved had it been around 35 years ago.
-
It helps a lot on my job, with no fog moisture unlike other brands. Unique, cool and highly recommended!
-
Best money I ever spent - no coughing up all that black stuff at the end of the day and so easy and comfortable to use.
-
Reliable, study, comfortable for the operator and removes all the contaminants allowing us to work safely.
-
Love the option of using it as a face shield, as well as the clean air from the Adflo PAPR!
-
It's the best helmet I’ve ever worked with. Absolutely love it!
-
From TIG welding 0.5mm mild steel to MIG welding 40mm steel plate, buying this helmet was the best decision I could make. Simply the best!
-
Nothing better than the quality this produces... plus the filtered air is amazing!
-
It's the best! Even though my helmet has seen a lot of welding over the past 5 years, it's stood up to it all. I recommend this helmet to everyone that welds and personally wouldn't work without one - for me it’s the baseline now. I'm big on my health so the biggest reason I love this helmet is not breathing in fumes, with no more holding my breath or trying to dodge the plume.
-
Once I finally bought one, it was a dream come true and I've never looked back!
-
I use my 9100 FX every day - excellent for breathing fresh air in summer and keeping me safe!
