The revolutionary TH3/TM3 PAPR from optrel.

Welcome to the Swiss Alps. Welcome to optrel swiss air.

Breathing means life. The optrel swiss air breathing protection system brings clean breathing air into your environment and lets you breathe as freely as you can otherwise only enjoy outdoors in nature.

Many workplaces and public spaces generate pollutant emissions such as smoke, soot particles, particulate matter, or viruses that can enter the lungs through the nose, throat, and trachea, causing asthma, chronic cough, bronchitis, or other respiratory diseases, including lung cancer. With the optrel swiss air respiratory protection system you enjoy fresh air, completely independent of your activity and your other protective equipment. It lets you perform hazardous work independently and freely.

The core element of the optrel swiss air blower respiratory protection system is a ventilated half-mask that completely covers the mouth and nose area and supplies it with purified air. A breathing space is created in the mouth and nose area which, thanks to positive pressure, supports the user in breathing and eliminates tiring breathing resistance.

Made of high-tech fabric, the half-mask is designed to provide excellent individual fit thanks to a freely adjustable headband. This concept eliminates the need for time-consuming fit tests, which are common with conventional halfmasks.

The clean air is delivered via a Y-hose from a miniaturized blower system, which is conveniently attached to a carrying unit worn on the back. In this way, the user is supplied permanently via an "overpressure air system", which permanently protects the respiratory tract against contaminated air.

Half mask tightfit

You've never felt so safe – half mask tightfit for swiss air PAPR system

With the new half mask tightfit for the swiss air PAPR system, you can increase your respiratory protection to the highest possible level with masks and hoods. The silicone mask is close-fitting and guarantees protection level TM3. *

  • Protection factor of 2000 in normal operation.
  • Now, no battery need not mean that you are no longer protected. With the half mask tightfit, we guarantee respiratory protection with a protection factor of 1000 even when the blower is not running.
  • Thanks to the viewing window in front of your mouth, conversations with colleagues are easier.
  • A good fit for your face. The half mask tightfit is available in three different sizes: S, M, L.
  • And swiss air simply remains swiss air: Lightweight, compatible with all standard protection products and helmet-independent.

*Please note that your face must be clean-shaven for TM3 protection and the fit must be tested for a tight seal.

Feel safer than ever before!

Your personal
declaration of independence

The optrel swiss air half-mask gives you all the freedom you need.

Whatever you have in mind.
Flexible and completely independent
of the helmet system used.

Flexible use for all your tasks at hand

TH3/TM3 Respiratory protection for Welding / Plasma cutting

The optrel swiss air is ideally suited for use in welding and cutting operations in polluted and toxic environments.

The optrel swiss air half-mask gives you all the freedom you need. Whatever you're up to. Flexible to use and completely independent of the helmet system used.

The optrel swiss air can be used completely autonomously, allowing maximum versatility in combination with the appropriate manufacturer-independent work protection.

It can be used independently of the helmet or other equipment and is therefore the most versatile optrel respiratory protection system available.

TH3/TM3 Respiratory protection for Demolition / Construction / Waste Disposal / Recycling

The optrel swiss air system is also your ideal companion for construction and demolition work and other outdoor applications where unpleasant odors or dust are generated.

It can be used with almost any construction or industrial helmet, with an optrel weldcap® or even without a helmet at all.

TH3/TM3 Respiratory protection for Food industry / laboratory applications

The optrel swiss air also reliably protects you and your environment from bacteria and viruses during food production.

It increases the performance and endurance of users thanks to the positive pressure principle, which supports breathing and does not cause any breathing resistance.

Due to the elimination of time-consuming adaptation tests (no fit test) as well as massive savings on paper masks and their disposal, investment costs and running costs which are reduced.

TH3/TM3 Respiratory protection for Woodworking / Industrial applications

swiss air permanently protects the respiratory tract and the lungs against pollutants in the air, regardless of the current activity in the working day. This prevents the development of diseases affecting the respiratory tract and lungs.

swiss air helps to reduce pain in the neck and back due to a significant reduction in the weight of head, face and eye protection systems. This makes a heavy combination helmets no longer necessary.

The ideal work companion.

TH3/TM3 Respiratory protection for Viticulture / Agriculture

Respiratory diseases such as asthma, "farmer lung" and other ailments, caused by dust and particles, can be easily prevented through the use of optrel swiss air respiratory protection.

The integrated high-performance battery enables an uninterrupted daily usage. This allows the swiss air to be used always and everywhere. Thanks to the lightweight design at only 550 g, it is also hardly noticeable. The only thing you will feel is the fresh, clear air.
