The company optrel – the Swiss manufacturer of respiratory protection systems, which are mainly used in industrial applications – is actively dealing with the resulting challenge. It would be desirable to raise awareness and increase the standard that everyone sets for themselves, including in the metalworking industry. Imagine a world where you can breathe fresh, clean air every day. As viruses are not the only problem. Soot and smoke particles can cause general respiratory problems, headaches, sweat fever and even cancer. Inorganic dusts such as sawdust and construction dust settle in the lungs and pneumoconiosis is the disastrous result. This is where optrel will actively assist users and enable them to have a better and safer working day.

The manufacturer’s latest coup will be presented to the global market these days. A revolutionary blower respiratory protection system is being launched: the new optrel swiss air.

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

Slim, ergonomic, light as a feather. This is how the swiss air presents itself at first glance. A second glance reveals its technological leadership.

The core element of this solution is a ventilated half mask that completely covers the mouth and nose area and constantly supplies it with purified air (according to TH3 standard). 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.

In this way, the user is permanently in an "overpressure air system" which permanently protects his airways against contaminated air. The half mask, made of high-tech fabric, is designed in such a way that it can be excellently adapted to the individual thanks to a freely adjustable headband. This concept eliminates the need for time-consuming fit tests that are common with conventional half masks.

Clean air is supplied through the Y-hose by a miniaturised blower system, which is comfortably carried by the wearing unit on the back. The filter unit is 45mm narrow and weighs just 550g – a new record that leads to a significant reduction in neck and back pain.

The intelligent control unit completes the system.

Conclusion

State-of-the-art  technology in science, materials and ergonomics. A better working day for every user; with better air and longer breath, which actively leads to more efficiency and in the end to cash for every company. Swiss air is as versatile in its application as the tasks idn er industry, trade, construction, medicine and agriculture: with all head parts and helmets individually expandable.

Always with the customer in mind, optrel strives to combine new technology with current and acute customer needs. As usual, the brand value always remains recognisable and stands for quality – swiss made. However, optrel goes one step further.

Trees are certainly the best suppliers of fresh air on our planet. For the sale of every single optrel swiss air respiratory protection system, optrel therefore plants a tree as part of a global reforestation project, thus more than compensating for the swiss air’s carbon footprint. Because fresh air is important for all of us.
