FreshAir PRESSURE flow control system provides an ideal solution for workplaces equipped with breathing-quality compressed air supplies and distribution systems, or a mobile compressor. In addition, the belt-mounted FreshAir Flow Control valve includes a pressure gauge for easy monitoring of supply airflow in the workplace.

FreshAir PRESSURE Flow Control provides strong protection against a variety of airborne contaminants. The adjustment valve on the belt unit lets the user regulate airflow between 170 and 400 l/min, adapting it to individual needs and providing comfortable, reliable respiratory protection in accordance with EN 14594.

Beta 90 FreshAir and Delta 90 FreshAir headtops can be connected to the FreshAir PRESSURE Flow control system. Ideal for long work periods and more static workplace locations where mobility is not a key requirement. The FreshAir PRESSURE Flow control system offers lower initial purchase and operating costs.

Kemppi Air Fed Parts FAQs

Spares for powered and air-fed welding helmet systems, and how to work out the right part for your set-up.

Why can't I use a dust filter to protect against welding gases?

Particle filters only trap solid particles and fume. They do not remove gases or vapours, so a particle filter alone does not protect against gases produced by some welding and cutting work. HSE welding guidance makes the same point about the particulate filters used on disposable masks and half masks.

If your risk assessment says gas or vapour protection is needed, you need a filter specifically rated for that, and the system must be approved to take it. Check the markings on the old filter and the instructions for your unit, and ask the maker or our team if you are unsure which type your system uses.

What should I check on an air-fed helmet system before each shift?

Check the whole system before every use. HSE guidance says employers should confirm RPE is working before each use, and a powered system needs a quick look at the battery condition and the airflow indicator or low-flow warning, as set out in the maker's instructions.

Also look at the filter and spark guard (fitted, clean, undamaged), the breathing tube (no cuts, kinks or loose ends), the face seal and headband, and the cover lens. If the airflow warning sounds, the battery is weak or anything is damaged, stop and fix it before welding. Do not rely on a system that is not giving its full airflow.

Can I wear an air-fed or powered helmet with a beard?

It depends on the type of facepiece. HSE guidance says tight-fitting masks rely on a seal against the skin, and stubble or a beard stops a good seal. Loose-fitting powered helmets and hoods work differently: the unit keeps a flow of clean air through the headtop, so they need no tight seal.

That said, there are limits. Makers usually set limits on facial hair and the helmet must be the right size and correctly adjusted for the wearer. Check your unit's instructions and your employer's RPE assessment, especially where the system includes a separate face seal.

Can I mix parts from different makers or different system ranges?

It is best not to. Powered and air-fed systems are approved and tested as complete assemblies, and the protection level depends on that whole combination of helmet, tube, filter and power unit working together. Swapping a filter, tube or seal for one from another range can change airflow or fit and may invalidate the approval.

HSE guidance advises that replacement parts should preferably come from the original maker so the equipment keeps its stated performance. Check the manual to see which parts are approved for your system, and ask the maker or supplier if the instructions do not say.
