Optrel swiss air: basic PAPR respiratory protection system with ABE1P filter (cat. no. 4700.014)
Optrel swiss air is a revolutionary respiratory protection system that redefines comfort, mobility and versatility. Designed as a standalone unit, it separates respiratory protection from face and eye protection, giving professionals unprecedented freedom in choosing their equipment. This base kit, fitted with an advanced ABE1P combination filter, provides the basis for the highest level of safety in environments with mixed contamination, from welding fumes to organic vapours and acid gases.

Technology in detail
Constant positive pressure concept
The swiss air system is based on creating a positive pressure zone around the user's airways (using the dedicated half mask, sold separately). The filter and blower unit continuously supplies clean air that displaces the contaminated ambient air and prevents it from being inhaled. This design not only protects but also actively assists breathing, reducing effort and fatigue during long hours of work. Crucially, the system does not require time-consuming and costly fit testing, and it is fully effective from the first use. It is an investment in reliable protection and physiological comfort, which means less fatigue and better concentration.
ABE1P combination filter, total protection
This kit comes with a high-efficiency ABE1P combination filter, which extends protection well beyond that of standard particle filters. It forms an effective barrier not only against dust, smoke and aerosols (class P), but also against organic (A) and inorganic (B) gases and vapours and against acid gases (E). This is essential in industrial applications where the welder is exposed to mixed contaminants, for example when welding materials coated with paint or oil, or close to chemical processes. Investing in an ABE1P filter means all-round health protection in the most demanding and unpredictable working conditions.
Ultra-light and ergonomic central unit
The swiss air filter and blower unit weighs just 550 grams and is worn on the back on an ergonomic, adjustable harness. This design completely removes the neck and head strain typical of traditional helmet-integrated systems. The weight is spread across the shoulders and back, which gives exceptional comfort and freedom of movement throughout the working day. The control panel sits within reach on the shoulder strap, so you can adjust the airflow without taking the equipment off. It is a direct investment in the health of your spine and in everyday comfort, and it minimises the risk of chronic injury.
Open ecosystem and universal compatibility
The biggest strategic advantage of the swiss air system is its complete independence from face protection. The system is designed to work with any welding helmet, whether from Optrel or a competitor, as well as with safety helmets, grinding visors and goggles. You do not have to compromise: you can pick the best helmet for each task while keeping the highest standard of respiratory protection. This modularity makes swiss air an extremely flexible and future-proof solution. It is an investment in freedom of choice and maximum versatility that adapts to your needs, not the other way round.
