Optrel SwissAir particle filter: optimal respiratory protection for your powered air-purifying respirator
The Optrel SwissAir particle filter is designed for professionals who do not compromise on respiratory protection. Compatible with the SwissAir powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) system, it effectively filters dust and airborne particles.
Replacing it regularly ensures constant filtration performance and healthy air in all working conditions.
Available at Dagobert Industrie, this is the official replacement part to keep your Optrel equipment at peak performance.
What is the Optrel SwissAir particle filter?
The Optrel SwissAir particle filter is a consumable specifically designed for Optrel's SwissAir PAPR system. It ensures the air injected into the hood is filtered before it reaches the wearer's respiratory tract.
This filter mounts directly onto the SwissAir blower unit. Regular replacement is essential to maintain an effective level of protection in the workshop.
Role and operating principle of the particle filter
The SwissAir unit draws in ambient air and pushes it through the filter before sending it into the hood. The filter traps suspended solid particles: grinding dust, welding fumes, and fine metal splatters.
Filtration takes place continuously while the motor is running. Without a filter in good condition, the air blown into the hood remains charged with contaminants, which negates the purpose of the powered respiratory protection system.
Here is what this filter handles:
- Grinding and abrasion dust
- Metallic fumes from MIG/MAG, TIG, or electrode welding
- Fine particles generated by cutting or sanding
It does not treat gases or organic vapors. For these risks, Optrel offers gas + particle combination filters adapted for the SwissAir.
Technical characteristics and performance of the Optrel SwissAir filter
Filtration class and compatibility with the SwissAir system
The Optrel SwissAir particle filter is designed to integrate directly into the SwissAir PAPR system. It provides TH3 class filtration, the highest level according to the EN 12941 standard, with a filtration efficiency of over 99.95%.
This performance places the SwissAir filter above TH1 and TH2 classes, which are often sufficient for less contaminated environments. In highly dusty environments or those exposed to solid and liquid aerosols, TH3 class remains the essential benchmark.
The filter is exclusively compatible with the Optrel SwissAir blower unit. It does not fit other powered air-purifying systems on the market, such as the Speedglas Adflo (3M) or the Papr Versaflo. This exclusivity ensures perfectly calibrated airtightness and airflow.
