Swiss Air PAPR System for Welders
January 1, 2022
Optrel has announced its new Swiss Air powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) that provides fresh, breathable air in a lightweight, comfortable system that welders can use alone or with their favorite helmet or hood. The Swiss Air PAPR is designed for welding, grinding, plasma cutting, metalworking, woodworking and industrial applications.
The 1.2-lb. low-profile Swiss Air PAPR is comfortably worn as a backpack with ergonomic shoulder harnesses that maximize a user's freedom of movement. Controls, filter and battery indicators are front-mounted for easy visibility and access. The variable airflow is continuously adjustable to personalize fresh air delivery. The battery provides a full 14-hour workday of power.
The system features an internally-tested assigned protection factor greater than 1,000 and a lightweight, ultra-flat, high-efficiency HEPA filter unit that is 99.98% effective. Its strong positive airflow, automatic airflow calibration, and automatic altitude and temperature adjustments provide comfort and help prevent user fatigue. The ventilated half-mask, while protecting both mouth and nose, enables unrestricted vision and communication for greater work area awareness and safety. The mask is flame-retardant, washable and reusable so there is no need for costly disposables. An app for Apple devices, available shortly, will provide the user with additional ease of use, monitoring and control options.
