  The Optrel Swiss Air half-mask gives you maximum protection and comfort by combining a powerful motor and high efficiency filtration unit with a fully adjustable, lightweight half mask.  The Swiss Air respiratory protection system works independently from  PAPR Welding helmets, PAPR grinding visors and PAPR hoods. This allows the operator to combine the highest levels of particulate protection with standard personal protective equipment (PPE) such as; face shields, goggles, helmets, welding helmets, spectacles and ear defenders. This makes this the Swiss Air the most versatile PAPR system available.

  The core element of the Optrel Swiss Air system is a ventilated half mask that completely covers the wearers mouth and nose area, supplying them with purified air. The clean air is supplied to the half mask via a Y-hose from the Swiss Air’s miniaturised blower system, which is comfortably positioned on a carrying harness positioned on the wearers back – similar to an ultra-lightweight rucksack.  The user is then constantly in a "positive pressure air system", which prevents contaminated air from entering the mask. The positive pressure inside the mask also helps to make breathing easier, thus reducing breathing fatigue associated with traditional elastomeric masks and disposable respirators – especially during manual labour.

  The half-mask itself is made of hard wearing flame retardant fabric. It has been designed in such a way that it can easily be adapted to fit all face shapes and sizes utilising a fully adjustable headband and pull cord. The Optrel Swiss air concept eliminates the need for costly and time consuming face fit tests and safely works with operators that have beards and facial hair.

  IP 54 splashproof and dust-tight rating makes Swiss Air suitable for use outside and in dusty environments.

  Features:

  Optrel Swiss Air TH3P system provides 99.8% protection against fine dust, fume and mist, equivalent to 10 x greater protection when compared to a traditional FFP3 disposable respirator or half mask. Even harmful viruses such as Covid 19 are filtered from the air.

  The blower unit has an automatic air flow calibration function and is supplied with a long life 14h battery for extended all day working.

  When used with the optional Swiss Air Controller – positioned on the chest section of the shoulder strap, all functions are controllable when wearing the unit; overview of filter contamination, battery charge status, air flow control, on/off switch and altitude and temperature compensation.
