3M™ Speedglas™ Adflo (HE) 9100-Air w/9100X ADF 25-1101-20SW
The Speedglas™ Adflo (HE) 9100-Air combines the Speedglas™ 9100 welding helmet and 9100X ADF with the proven Adflo PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) to create a safe, personal welding environment with superior auto-darking filter clarity.
The Speedglas™ 9100-Air is designed for enhanced comfort and protection. The helmet has a smooth up-and-down
pivot action that gently locks in the ‘up’ position. It comes with a highly adjustable head suspension system and
a well-balanced design. This helps to optimize its center of gravity, keeping the helmet closer to the user’s head
in both the up and down positions—making the helmet feel lighter, more stable and balanced at all times.
Plus, the revolutionary design offers more coverage of vulnerable body areas, like the ears and sides of the
neck, helping to protect from sparks, metal grindings and other splatter debris.
Features
Air duct helps provide refreshing airflow across the entire
breathing zone
Middle air channel helps keep the ADF virtually fog free,
while the two side air channels help to provide evenly
distributed air to the other areas of the breathing zone
Back of headband is self-adjusting and swivels to fit
different head shapes
Four settings let you determine the distance between your
face and the helmet for optimum viewing
Unique 2-strap crown adjustment for increased stability
and reduced pressure on the top of the head
Smooth ratchet mechanism lets you manually tighten the
helmet to your personal preference

Exclusive "stackable" configuration adapts to changing welding applications.
Environmentally-friendly NiMH battery charges in less than 3 hours with a smart charger that won't ever overcharge.
System Intelligence: Constant Airflow Rate, regardless of battery charge and filter loading. Audible and visual alarms signal low airflow and low battery charge.
The unique belt design has a solid leather front, cut narrow to allow the welder to bend forward easily. Along the welder's sides, the leather becomes wider, with large ventilation holes for maximum breathability. The turbo unit securely attaches to, and is nestled between, the two plastic arms of the belt so the turbo's weight is evenly distributed across the entire lower back and upper hips. The plastic arms are vertically rigid but with pleats so the welder can move and turn with freedom.
Exclusive airflow pattern means perfectly-distributed air throughout the entire breathing zone of the helmet.

Speedglas™ 9100 Helmet Features
The helmet is made from a lightweight, but
durable material that meets the mechanical
strength requirements of EN 175 level ”B” and
ANSI Z87.1-2003.
Heat reflecting
silver front.
Speedglas™ 9100X Auto Dark Lens Features
Viewing area 8.82 sq in
Magnification made easy. The new magnifying lens holder,
on the inside face of the welding helmet, makes lens
installation easier and more adjustable.
Seven user selectable dark
shades: shade 5 for gas
welding/cutting, shade 8
for microplasma and low
amp TIG welding and shade
9 to 13 for most other
types of arc welding.
The ‘tack welding comfort mode’ uses
an intermediate light state (shade 5). If
a follow-up arc is not struck within two
seconds, the welding filter switches to
the normal light state (shade 3). The
comfort mode may help reduce eye
fatigue resulting from the eye constantly
needing to adjust to differing light levels
during tack welding.
The delay function allows the user to
set the dark-to-light switching time.
Sensitivity of arc detection can be adjusted to provide reliable switching
for a wide range of arc welding processes, amperages and situations.
And you now can ‘lock-in’ any shade: the light shade for grinding or other
non-welding activities, or one of the dark shades—to have it function as a
passive welding filter.
