BT / Tecmen FreFlow Respirator and Hose
BT / Tecmen FreFlow Respirator and Hose
The BT / Tecmen FreFlow Respirator and Hose is an exceptionally high-quality powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) system engineered to protect welders from arc radiation, spatter, dust, pollutants, fine particles, and other contaminants. Co-developed by BT Bossweld Technology and Tecmen, this system pairs seamlessly with the IEXP TM1000 or IMUX TM16 welding helmets, delivering top-tier optical clarity (1/1/1/1) and a 99.97% efficient multi-layer filtration process for safe, comfortable breathing during MIG, TIG, Stick welding, plasma cutting, grinding, and other industrial applications.
Helmet Compatibility
While the FreFlow Respirator and Hose (703317) is available on its own, it often integrates with:

- Optical Class: 1/1/1/1 with Real-Lens Technology
- Easy Lift Up for grinding & Shade 5 lens sides
- Panoramic, High-Impact Nylon shell
- Arc Sensors: 4, Light State: DIN 3.5, Dark State: Variable 5–8 / 9–13
- Power On/Off: Manual, auto-off; Delay: 0.1–1.0 s
- Warranty: 2 years (ADF & blower unit)
-
IMUX TM16 (Part #703200)
- Viewing Area: 97 × 62 mm
- Optical Class: 1/1/1/1 with Real-Lens Technology
- 4 Independent Sensors, External Grind Mode Switch
