REDUCE HEAT FATIGUE TO OPTIMIZE WELDER PRODUCTIVITY

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. (Appleton, WI) extends its Arc Armor? line of welding protection products with the release of two welding helmet cooling accessories designed to reduce heat stress, leading to increased operator comfort, productivity, weld quality and safety. The two new Arc Armor Heat Stress accessories include:

? The CoolBand? is an integrated headgear cooling system that fits exclusively into most Miller Arc Armor Helmets, it provides up to six hours of continuous cooling on one battery charge. Downward and upward air vents provide constant air movement over the entire users face and head, removing stagnant air and decreasing lens fog.

? The CoolBelt? is a lightweight, belt-mounted cooling system that integrates into most Miller welding helmets. Designed for extreme industrial environments, the CoolBelt offers multiple air speeds with directional air controls to provide air movement over the users face and head. The CoolBelt can lower temperature under the hood up to 17 deg F while also removing stagnant air and decreasing lens fog. A rechargeable battery pack provides up to five hours of battery life, and extra battery packs are available.

The Arc Armor? Heat Stress Protection category is the latest addition to Miller?s growing line of Arc Armor welding protection products. This addition complements Miller?s extensive portfolio of welding safety products within the following categories: Head & Face, Hand & Body, Respiratory and Heat Stress Protection.

?Arc Armor Heat Stress Protection products were designed to address the issues of heat fatigue as it pertains to the welder?they make welders more comfortable,” says Bill Gardner, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. “Our Cooling systems provide a significant return on investment for those organizations that are willing to invest in their employees. Improved productivity, work quality and overall well-being of the employees are all benefits our customers are realizing through the utilization of these products by their welders.”

Gardner continues, ?Miller has taken its unique knowledge of the welding industry to create the Arc Armor line of welding protection products. Generally lighter and more comfortable than competitive products, Arc Armor redefines welder protection with innovative products that provide optimal fit, comfort, protection and style, resulting in safer, more productive work environments.?
