Optrel Weldcap® Bump with swiss air powered air system - Ready to Weld set - 4600.090

The Optrel weldCap® breaks with the convention of heavy, rigid shells. It is built from high-quality textile material, which brings the weight down to just 400 grams and makes it as comfortable to wear as an ordinary peaked cap. This design works well in a dynamic working environment where the welder alternates between welding, assembly and inspection tasks. The soft construction adapts to the head, minimises pressure points and reduces the load on the neck during long hours of work. It is an investment in all-day comfort and less fatigue, which directly supports concentration and the quality of your work.

The core of the cap is a high-quality auto-darkening filter with True-Color technology, which gives very realistic colour perception in both the light and the dark state. The key design element is a special nose cut-out that lets the filter sit much closer to the eyes. This geometric innovation significantly widens the horizontal and vertical field of view, removes the "tunnel vision" effect and gives you good awareness of what is happening around you. A better view of the weld pool and its surroundings means more precision and more safety.

The "bump" version has an integrated, lightweight protective insert that protects your head against accidental knocks on fixed structural elements. It is not a full safety helmet, but it is important protection in confined spaces, such as vehicle interiors, pipework structures or machine servicing. The insert is designed not to add much weight or bulk to the cap, so it keeps its low profile and its comfort. It is a smart solution that raises safety wherever the risk of head injury is higher.

The swiss air system is a revolution in personal protection that completely separates respiratory protection from head and face protection. It provides the highest certified protection level, TH3 (in line with EN 12941), filtering 99.8% of harmful particles, dust and welding fumes. Air is supplied to a special flame-retardant half mask that creates a positive pressure zone around the mouth and nose and reliably isolates you from the contaminated environment. It is a fundamental investment in your own health that lets you work safely in the most demanding conditions.

At the heart of the system is a filter and blower unit weighing just 550 grams, worn comfortably on the back in an ergonomic harness. This layout takes all the weight and the centre of gravity off your head, which greatly reduces the load on the cervical spine and fatigue during long working hours. The control panel at the front of the harness strap gives you constant access to airflow adjustment and battery status without taking the system off. It is an investment in freedom of movement and comfort that lets you focus entirely on the task in hand.

The key advantage of the swiss air system is its versatility and how easy it is to introduce. The positive-pressure half mask design removes the need for time-consuming and costly fit tests and provides effective protection for a broad group of users. Because the system is independent, it can be used not only with the weldCap® but also with any other welding helmet, grinding visor or safety helmet, or entirely on its own. This modularity makes it a very flexible and economical piece of protective equipment for any professional.
