New Swiss Air PAPR System Ideal for Welding, Grinding, Metalworking and Other Applications

The new Swiss Air powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) from Optrel provides a few advantages, including the ability for users to wear the system either alone or with their favorite hood or helmet, without having to buy additional equipment.

Optrel's new Swiss Air powered air-purifying respirator allows users to wear the system either alone or with their favorite hood or helmet, without having to buy additional equipment.

At Fabtech 2021, Optrel Inc. (East Greenwich, RI) will be in Booth B25036.

Rather than being strapped around a user’s waist like other systems, the lightweight 1.2-pound low-profile Swiss Air PAPR is worn as a backpack with ergonomic shoulder harnesses that maximize a user’s freedom of movement. The controls, filters, and battery indicators are front mounted for easy visibility and access. The system also features an internally tested assigned protection factor greater than 1,000 and a lightweight, ultra-flat, high-efficiency HEPA filter unit that is 99.98 percent effective. Its strong positive airflow, automatic airflow calibration, and automatic altitude and temperature adjustments ensure comfort and prevent user fatigue.
