Kemppi PFU 210e Powered Filter Unit

Verified against primary source · 2026-07-06 current

Kemppi's welding PAPR blower unit. Filters ambient air and supplies it to the hood of a compatible welding helmet, creating positive pressure inside the headpiece. Per the official operating manual, PFU 210e is compatible with the Gamma GTH3, Beta FA and Zeta welding-helmet models, and the protection class achieved depends on which headtop it is paired with.

Generations & part-number caution: Protection class is set by the headtop pairing, not by the blower alone. Per the manual's Technical data table: with Gamma GTH3 or Zeta models the system is certified EN 12941 class TH3 (AS/NZS 1716:2012 class P2); with Beta FA it is only EN 12941 class TH2 (AS/NZS 1716:2012 class P1). Treat "Kemppi PFU 210e" alone as ambiguous — always record which headtop it was sold/used with before quoting a protection class. The blower also ships in two battery variants, SD (14.4V 3.2Ah/46Wh) and HD (14.4V 6.4Ah/92Wh), which are separate ordering codes (SP012584 / SP012021) rather than a package-level split; both fit the same blower body.

Notes

First Kemppi record on the site. The manual's own safety section (ch. 2) states: "It is strictly forbidden to use any other than Kemppi branded filters or other parts or accessories with Kemppi's personal protection equipment" — reinforcing that every fits[] entry for this system should stay at manufacturer-listed tier (no approval-label photo seen) but is the manufacturer's own required-parts stance, not a loose recommendation.
