- 3M Speedglas Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01VC with Adflo PAPR

The new 3M™ Speedglas™ Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01 with Adflo PAPR gives professional welders the ultimate in comfort, protection and adaptability. The Speedglas G5-01 marks the 5th generation of Speedglas welding helmets, introducing the latest in welding lens technology combined with flip-front functionality for grinding.

3M™ Speedglas™ Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01VC with Adflo PAPR
Part Number: 617830
PPE Made in Sweden
All Speedglas welding helmets are made in Sweden with every lens still checked by hand.
Protection from Welding Fume
Super comfortable welding face seal follows the contours of both the helmet and the face to provide a positive pressure seal from pollutants. The exclusive airflow pattern of the respiratory welding mask evenly distributes filtered air throughout the entire breathing zone of the welder.
Built for Heavy-Duty Welding
Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, the Speedglas G5-01VC auto-darkening lens features an extra-dark shade of 14 for high amperage welding.
Choose How you View your Welds
Speedglas Variable Colour Technology lets you choose between natural, cool and warm tones for your dark state. You determine which colour tone provides the best contrast for your welds, and the most comfort for your eyes.
Largest Ever Speedglas Welding Lens with True-View
View your welds through a massive 73 x 109mm viewing area, with even greater clarity. 3M Speedglas True-View has literally changed the way welders see, making what you see through the lens appear lighter, more detailed and colourful.
Huge Clear & Curved Grinding Visor with Removable Welding Shield
A smooth flip-up function reveals an extra-large 170×104 mm clear grinding visor – 16% larger than the Speedglas 9100 FX Air. For extended non-welding work, users can completely remove the welding visor – reducing the helmet weight by over 35%.
Don’t Go with the Flow
An innovative helmet duct system lets you take control over the direction of your airflow, for extra comfort in hot conditions. All adjustments can be made while wearing the helmet, maintaining your eye, face and respiratory protection.
Configure your Coverage
The G5-01 is compatible with a range of extra protection options to suit your welding environment and needs. The range of extended head and neck covers are available in leather, fabric and high-visibility options.
Bluetooth Connectivity and Memory Modes
The Speedglas G5-01VC lens features Bluetooth functionality, allowing you to change lens settings, review welding statistics and access user manuals – all from the palm of your hand. Program up to four memory modes for easy switching.
Light Up your Workspace
A new, optional helmet-mounted task light provides hours of powerful lighting for welding in poorly lit spaces.
Slim Design Offers Increased Coverage
Streamlined profile gives more coverage for welders’ ears, head and neck.
Unrivalled Arc Detection and Switching with Auto-On
Photo-sensors capable of detecting an arc down to an industry-leading 1 amp. With Auto-On your welding helmet is instantly ready to weld; programmed to your last used welding setting.
Highest Optical Rating
Speedglas heavy-duty welding helmet G5-01 gives the welder the highest possible optical classification (1/1/1) and is compliant with AS/NZS1338.1.
All Welding Applications with Multiple Modes
With shades 3, 5, 8, 9-14 and multiple mode settings you can weld, cut, grind and tack, indoors and outdoors even with a completely hidden arc.
Compliant with all relevant Australian & New Zealand Standards
Compliant with Australian & New Zealand Standard AS/NZS1337.1 (high impact face protection), AS/NZS1338.1 (eye protection) and AS/NZS1716 (respiratory protection).
Comfort & Ergonomics
An improved headband design sets the industry benchmark for comfort and ergonomics. The harness distributes weight perfectly, avoids sensitive areas and allows for complete customisation to your head. An extra-large back pad offers enhanced comfort.
Magnification Lens Holder
Built-in holder for magnifying lenses makes attaching the lens easier and optimises the position for better vision.
Speedglas Welding PPE is a long term investment
The Speedglas G5-01 helmet has a custom designed multi-function programmed logic chip that minimises the number of discrete surface-mounted components; leading to improved reliability and longevity.
Industry Leading Warranty Protection:
The Speedglas G5-01 features a revolving three year warranty. Experience a problem with the welding mask in the first three years and your 3 year warranty protection starts again. Speedglas helmets are built to last.
The Heavy Duty Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR)
Heavy Duty Battery Life with One Hour Rapid Charge
The Speedglas G5-01 VC comes standard with the new heavy duty Adflo for 12 hours powerful respiratory protection – giving it 50% greater run time than the Speedglas 9100 FX Air. With rapid charge, the battery charges from 0-80% of its full capacity in approximately one hour.
.
Award-Winning Respiratory Protection
As one of the most popular PAPR’s in the world, the Adflo respirator has become synonymous with welder’s respiratory protection. The powerful Adflo motor provides increased comfort and safety for all day welding.
You Only Have One Pair of Lungs
The Adflo powered air respirator conforms to Australian & New Zealand Standard AS/NZS1716 (respiratory protection), and offers a required minimum protection factor of 50 for thermally and mechanically generated particles. This means the air you breathe will be at least 50 times cleaner than if you were unprotected.
Exclusive Adflo airflow pattern
Filtered air is evenly distributed throughout the entire breathing zone of the welder, thanks to an exclusive airflow pattern. The intelligent turbo motor maintains the airflow rate at a constant level. For maximum comfort, a diffuser spreads out the airflow pattern.
Mobile, Super Light Welding Respirator
Worn around the welder’s waist, the Adflo unit allows for full mobility. The slim respirator profile makes it perfect for welding in tight spaces. The system has recently been reduced in weight by a further 15%.
Quick Release, Self-Adjusting Breathing Hose
The advanced Quick Release Swivel (QRS) is designed for one handed connection and release. The self-adjusting length means the welding hose is always kept close to the welder to prevent snagging on surrounding objects.
Protection from Welding Particles, Fumes and Gases
With the right type of respiratory filter, the Adflo respirator can effectively protect against both particles and gases – an important safety feature. Indicators assist the welder in knowing when to change the Adflo filters and to charge the Adflo battery.
Standard & Airflow Plus
Regardless of the battery’s charge or the particle loading of the filter, the Adflo system always maintains a constant flow rate of 170 litres per minute. For welding in hot, humid environments, welders can increase the airflow to 200 litres per minute to reduce fatigue and increase their overall welding comfort.
Industry Leading Warranty Protection
The Adflo PAPR is covered by a two year revolving warranty. If you experience any problems with the system in the first two years, your 2 year warranty protection starts again. Speedglas helmets and Adflo powered air welding respirator systems are built to last.
