Optrel swiss air: revolutionary respiratory protection system (half mask)
Optrel swiss air is a breakthrough in personal respiratory protection that redefines comfort, freedom of movement and safety. This innovative PAPR (Powered Air-Purifying Respirator) system deliberately separates breathing protection from face and eye protection, which gives it exceptional versatility. At the heart of the system is an ultra-light filter and blower unit worn on the back, which delivers perfectly clean air to a ventilated half mask. Designed for professionals who do not accept compromises, swiss air stands for health and productivity in any working environment.

Technology in detail
Revolutionary modular concept, full freedom of choice
The swiss air system is designed as an open, universal solution that deliberately separates respiratory protection from face protection. The blower unit is fully compatible with any welding helmet, including helmets from other brands, as well as with safety helmets, face shields and goggles. This removes the need to invest in a complete closed system from a single manufacturer. You can freely choose and change your face protection to suit the task, while your respiratory protection stays at the same top level. Investing in swiss air means investing in flexibility and getting the most out of the equipment you already own.
Positive pressure protection and breathing assistance
The system works by maintaining constant positive pressure in the breathing zone, inside a specially designed half mask. The stream of filtered air forms a barrier that actively prevents harmful particles, fumes and aerosols from the surroundings from being inhaled. In addition, the continuous air supply genuinely assists breathing, reducing the effort and fatigue that often come with long hours of work. The half mask, made of a flame-retardant, flexible material, fits the face closely and does not require time-consuming fit tests. It is an investment in comfort that translates directly into less fatigue and better concentration throughout the working day.
Top filtration class TH3, no compromise on health
The swiss air system uses high-efficiency particle filters and provides the highest possible level of respiratory protection, certified to class TH3 according to EN 12941. This means that the system filters out at least 99.8% of all harmful solid and liquid particles from the air, including carcinogenic welding fumes, dust and aerosols. Intelligent electronics continuously monitor the airflow and the filter condition and tell the user when the filter needs replacing. It is a fundamental investment in your own health, protecting against irreversible lung disease and keeping you safe in the most contaminated industrial environments.
Ergonomic design and intuitive operation
The filter and blower unit weighs just 550 grams and is worn on the back in a comfortable, ergonomic harness that spreads the weight evenly. This leaves your head free to move and removes the neck strain typical of helmet-integrated systems. All functions, including airflow adjustment, are operated from a control panel on the shoulder strap, within easy reach. This well-thought-out design keeps the system comfortable to wear even during long shifts. With this kind of ergonomics you can work without unnecessary strain, which improves productivity and general well-being.
