About the e3000x

Reliable airflow. Intelligent protection. All-day performance.

The Optrel e3000x PAPR system is engineered for professionals working in environments where smoke, dust, aerosols, and airborne particles are a constant concern. Using a high-performance blower and advanced TH3 filtration, the system filters up to 99.8% of harmful particles while delivering a steady stream of clean breathing air to compatible Optrel helmets and face protection systems.

Three adjustable airflow levels allow users to tailor ventilation to their work conditions, providing up to 240 liters of air per minute while maintaining comfort and cooling inside the headgear. The intelligent airflow sensor continuously monitors performance, automatically calibrating airflow and alerting the user if filters become blocked or airflow changes—helping maintain protection throughout the workday. With up to 18 hours of battery life, the e3000x is designed to keep up with demanding shifts without interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the e3000x PAPR system?

The e3000x is a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) that pulls contaminated air through a high-efficiency filter and delivers clean air to the wearer through a breathing hose and compatible headgear. The positive airflow inside the helmet helps prevent contaminated air from entering the breathing zone.

What protection level does the e3000x provide?

The system uses TH3-rated filtration, the highest classification for particle filtration in this category. This means it removes up to 99.8% of harmful airborne particles, including smoke, dust, and aerosols commonly produced in welding and industrial work.

How long does the battery last in the e3000x?

The e3000x is designed for extended workdays with up to 18 hours of battery runtime depending on airflow level. This allows most users to operate for a full shift without needing to recharge.

Can airflow be adjusted?

Yes. The system includes three airflow settings (170–240 L/min) so users can adjust ventilation based on workload, heat, or personal comfort.

Can airflow be adjusted?

Yes. The system includes three airflow settings (170–240 L/min) so users can adjust ventilation based on workload, heat, or personal comfort.

How does the system maintain consistent protection?

An integrated airflow sensor automatically monitors performance. If airflow changes or the filter becomes saturated, the system triggers an alarm and can automatically adjust airflow levels to maintain protection.

Which helmets are compatible with the e3000x PAPR system?

The e3000x PAPR is designed to integrate directly with a range of Optrel welding helmets, hoods and shields that support powered respiratory protection. This compatibility allows professionals to pair the e3000x with welding helmets, grinding shields, or multi-process protection depending on their work environment. Compatible headgear includes any helmets, hoods and shields designated as PAPR compatible. See below for a full list of e3000x compatible headgear.
