Lightweight and comfortable
Alfa welding shield weighs only 467g making it very comfortable to wear, allowing good access for tight work-spaces.
Suitable for multiple use
Premium protection for welding, cutting, grinding and inspection processes.
Comfortable and cost-effective
As a light to medium duty helmet, Alfa offers a well-balanced mix of protection, comfort and cost-effectiveness.
Lightweight welding mask with perfect balance
If weight, comfort and protection are your focus parameters, then look no further. Alfa models start at just 467g. They represent the most compact and lightweight welding masks in the Kemppi welder's protection range. A durable, low-cost solution for light to medium duty welding tasks, Alfa e series offers easy-to-wear eye and face protection for all general welding applications and grinding.
The shell design features generous dimensions, providing facial areas excellent protection from arc radiation, whilst allowing good access to tight work-spaces. The flip-up welding lens cassette is perfectly positioned for pre and post-weld inspection.
Lightweight design
Weighing only 467g, the Alfa helmet is among the lightest in Kemppi's range, reducing neck fatigue during prolonged use.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
