This is the heart of a revolutionary respiratory protection system: the Optrel swiss air filter and blower unit. The component is intended for professionals who need a spare part or want to build a fully personalised protection system matched to their specific needs. Built around an ultra-light design and the positive pressure concept, the unit is the basis for the highest level of safety and comfort, whatever face or head protection you use. It is Swiss engineering in its purest form, designed for maximum performance and freedom of movement.

Technology in detail
Revolutionary positive pressure protection concept
The swiss air system works by maintaining constant positive pressure in the breathing zone, enclosed by a ventilated half mask made of flame-retardant material. The filter and blower unit, worn ergonomically on the back, draws in contaminated ambient air, passes it through a high-efficiency particle filter and then delivers it continuously to the user. This design not only physically keeps out harmful particles, fumes and aerosols but also actively assists breathing and reduces breathing effort. Investing in positive pressure technology means investing in all-day working comfort and in the certainty of top-level health protection.
Uncompromising versatility and modularity
The key innovation of the swiss air system is the complete separation of respiratory protection from eye and face protection. This modular concept frees professionals from the limits of closed single-manufacturer ecosystems. The unit is fully compatible with any welding helmet, whether from Optrel or a competitor, as well as with safety helmets, grinding visors and goggles. What is more, the system does not require time-consuming and costly annual fit testing, which makes it much easier to introduce and maintain in a professional environment. It is an investment in flexibility that lets you choose your equipment freely and adapt to any task without compromise.
Ultra-light and ergonomic design
The filter and blower unit weighs just 550 grams, which makes it one of the lightest units of its class on the market. The weight is carried by a specially designed ergonomic harness that spreads it evenly over the back and shoulders instead of the head or neck. This weight distribution minimises the strain on the musculoskeletal system, which matters most during long hours of work. The unit is operated from a control panel in an easy-to-reach position on the harness, so you can adjust the airflow without stopping work. Investing in ergonomics at this level translates directly into less fatigue and better concentration throughout the working day.
