Miller expands Arc Armor line

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has extended its Arc Armor line of welding protection products with the release of two new welding helmet cooling accessories designed to reduce heat stress, according to company officials.

The two new Arc Armor Heat Stress accessories include the CoolBand, an integrated headgear cooling system that fits into most Miller Arc Armor Helmets, providing 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, company officials said.

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 user’s face and head. The CoolBelt can lower temperature under the hood up to 17° 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.
