The shell is designed as an integral part of Optrel’s modular ecosystem. This enables the cost-effective replacement of a defective component without the need to purchase a new, costly auto-darkening cartridge (ADF). Moreover, it provides an upgrade path for owners of the standard crystal 2.0 visor, allowing it to be adapted to work with the e3000X respiratory protection system. This product philosophy allows for flexible equipment management and long-term operation. It is a thoughtful investment that protects your initial capital and allows you to evolve your protection system as your needs change.

The silver coating of this shell is not only a matter of aesthetics, but above all an advanced thermal technology. The special paint effectively reflects thermal radiation generated by a high-current welding arc or from the work environment. In practice, this translates into a perceptibly lower temperature inside the visor, which reduces operator fatigue and sweating. The increased thermal comfort allows for longer, more concentrated work. An investment in this technology is a direct investment in productivity and comfort during the most demanding welding tasks.

This shell has been precisely designed for mounting Optrel’s flagship crystal 2.0 self-darkening cartridge, allowing the user to realize the full potential of the revolutionary Crystal Lens Technology (CLT) with a bright state of 2.0. This provides a near-perfectly clear and natural image of the working environment before arc ignition, making material preparation and electrode positioning easier. Combining this shell with the crystal 2.0 cartridge creates a tool with unparalleled optical quality. It’s an investment in precision that allows you to see every detail of the weld pool and achieve welds of the highest quality.

The shell comes pre-equipped with a dedicated air duct (airduct) and face seal, which are key components of the e3000X ecosystem. The duct is designed to evenly distribute clean air inside the visor, creating a gentle, cooling breeze on the forehead without causing eye irritation. The tight connection to the face seal ensures that a constant positive pressure is maintained, a prerequisite for the highest protection class TH3. This is no ordinary shell, but a precisely designed component that guarantees the effectiveness and comfort of the entire respiratory protection system.
