Harsh working conditions caused by smoke, dust, and vapors require a high performing air purifying respirator system. The Optrel e3000 Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) and the Optrel Crystal 2.0 welding helmet make a great combination and provide maximum safety and comfort.

With Crystal 2.0, Optrel beat their own record light-state shade level of 2.5 (as seen on the Panoramaxx and Vegaview 2.5) and absolutely crushed the industry standard light-state shade level of 4.0. With a 2.0 light-state shade level, Crystal 2.0 offers 31% light transmission, compared to 5% light transmission offered by competitors. A 2.0 light-state shade level offers you a crystal clear, unclouded view of your working environment, which, in turn, provides you with a safer, more efficient working environment.

Crystal 2.0 also features a Twilight function, which allows you to adjust how slowly Crystal 2.0 switches from dark to light when you extinguish an arc, a True Color Filter (a UV/IR filter), which enables you to clearly and easily see your welding equipment LED through the helmet lens in realistic color, infinite shade level selection from a shade level 4 to a shade level 12, and infinite, adjustable sensitivity, including what Optrel calls "super high" sensitivity. Like her predecessor, the Panoramaxx, Crystal 2.0 features an Autopilot function, which enables fully automated shade adjustment from shade level 4 to shade level 12, but also offers individual calibration of +/- 2. In Autopilot mode, a 3-sensor array detects the arc's brightness and automatically adjusts the shade level accordingly.

Two replaceable Lithium batteries (CR2032) and solar cells, along with a light-weight design—Crystal 2.0 weighs in at only 18.7 oz—ensures nearly endless hours of crystal clear, comfortable welding. Suitable for all welding applications, as well as plasma cutting and grinding, and compatible with Optrel's hard had adapter.

The Optrel e3000 PAPR System provides increased safety by continuously monitoring air flow by means of an integrated sensor during the whole welding process. Ideal in combination with the Crystal 2.0 helmet. Better comfort with adjustable three-level air flow of 150 to 250 l/min and a cooling effect even at the most extreme ambient conditions. Constant air flow thanks to smart sensor-controlled electronics and a variable adjustment of air flow between forehead and respiratory area.

The package includes the Optrel Crystal 2.0 auto-darkening welding helmet, blower unit with hose, filter, battery, fabric belt, charger, and operating instructions.

Thanks to a special inner mask that regulates the flow of air, the welder is permanently protected from harmful substances and also benefits from a pleasant cooling effect. Maximum protection and comfort are guaranteed.
