Leading gas and engineering company BOC has launched a new range of specialty helmets for welders.
Models included in the new Weld Guard range are the
Auto-Tracker, Multi-Process, Galaxy and the PAPR system.
BOC’s Senior Product Manager for Safety Joe Martinez says the
different Weld Guard helmets offers specific protection levels to
be used across most welding processes.
“All are lightweight, high impact helmets that comply with
Australian Standards AS/NZS1337.1 and 1338.1,” he says.
The Auto-Tracker helmet is ideal for tungsten inert gas (TIG),
metal inert gas (MIG) and manual metal arc (MMA) welding. It
utilises unique sensor technology allowing the cartridge to
automatically darken to the required shade level and self-adjust to
suit the intensity of the arc.
The Multi-Process is suited for TIG, MIG, MMA and gas welding
and is specifically designed for welders with varied job
requirements who need an extensive range of adjustment options.
The Galaxy helmet is designed for MIG, MMA, gas welding and
grinding. It has a flip front and features a modular viewing
adaptor than can be easily swapped in and out to provide multiple
viewing options.
According to BOC, the most exciting addition to the range is the
Weld Guard PAPR system which is a high impact respiratory unit that
allows workers to weld in confined spaces.
The Weld Guard PAPR system provides protection against UV-IR
radiations, flying particles, metal fumes and dusts emitted during
welding and associated processes.
BOC says the lightweight unit is approved to AS/NZS standards
1338, 1337 for high impact and 1716 for P3 respiratory.
The new Weld Guard helmets will be available through BOC
distribution centres and Gas & Gear outlets in Australia and
New Zealand.
