PAPR Welding Helmets – Serious Protection for Professional Welders

When you’re welding in environments thick with carcinogenic fumes, dust, and airborne contaminants, respiratory safety isn’t just good practice — it’s critical for meeting Australian workplace safety standards. Prolonged exposure to welding fumes can cause long-term health issues, from respiratory irritation to serious lung conditions.

At CIGWELD, we’ve designed a premium range of Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Welding Helmets built for welders and tradies working in mining, fabrication, marine, rail, and manufacturing. Whether you’re welding stainless steel, working in enclosed spaces, or tackling big jobs on-site, our helmets deliver clean airflow and fog-free vision to keep you safe and comfortable all day.

What Is a PAPR Welding Helmet?

A PAPR welding helmet combines a full-face welding shield with a Powered Air-Purifying Respirator. It pulls in ambient air through high-efficiency filters (AS/NZS 1716 and EN 12941 TH3 compliant) and delivers clean, filtered air directly to your breathing zone.

The constant airflow keeps you cool, reduces fatigue, and prevents visor fogging — all while protecting you from harmful welding fumes and particulates. In poorly ventilated worksites or high-fume environments, a PAPR helmet is a must-have upgrade over a standard auto-darkening helmet.

When to Use a PAPR Welding Helmet?

A PAPR helmet is essential when welding conditions involve:

• High fume production
• Poor or limited ventilation
• Hazardous materials such as stainless steel or galvanised steel

Heavy Fabrication in Enclosed Workshops

In busy fabrication shops fumes can build up fast. A CIGWELD PAPR helmet blocks hazardous particles while keeping airflow steady for cooler, safer, and more comfortable shifts.

Stainless Steel Welding in Food-Grade & Manufacturing

Welding stainless steel produces hexavalent chromium, a toxic substance regulated under Safe Work Australia. Our PAPR helmets trap these particles and keep your visor clear to ensure precise, compliant welding.

Shipbuilding and Marine Repairs

Across shipyards and marine worksites, hulls and engine rooms trap heat and fumes. The CIGWELD PAPR system delivers clean air right where it’s needed—helping welders stay safe, comfortable, and clean in confined spaces.

Rail and Infrastructure Maintenance

Bridge welding and track repairs often mean dust, fumes, and shifting airflow. A PAPR helmet keeps your breathing zone clean and your vision sharp in all conditions.

Mining and Heavy Equipment Repairs

In mining regions, welders face extreme heat and airborne hazards during critical repairs. CIGWELD’s PAPR solution delivers clean air—protecting your lungs and keeping you safe on site.
