Respiratory Protection
That Moves With You
Drillers, maintenance crews, welders and plant operators all face different airborne hazards. The Optrel Swiss Air PAPR is designed to cover the full range, delivering continuous filtered airflow across the variety of roles and environments that make up a modern mining operation. As Optrel's Australian distributor, SMENCO provides local supply, technical advice and ongoing support to mining operations.
Highlights of the Swiss Air
Safety
The TH3 fabric mask requires no conventional fit testing, while the TM3 silicone mask supports higher protection where fit testing is required.
Performance
Continuous filtered airflow reduces breathing resistance for greater comfort during demanding work, while allowing clear communication.
Health
Delivers high-efficiency filtered air directly to the breathing zone to help reduce exposure to airborne contaminants encountered across mining operations.
Ergonomics
Weighing just 550 g, the rear-mounted blower reduces headborne weight while allowing workers to wear compatible PPE for the task.
Cost Saving
A reusable powered respiratory system that significantly reduces disposable mask waste while simplifying deployment through the TH3 loose-fit configuration.
Swiss Air System
The Optrel Swiss Air supplies a constant flow of clean air to an adjustable half mask covering. Positive pressure removes breathing resistance, while the back-worn fan unit protects against smoke, fine dust and viruses.
TH3 / TM3 Certified
The Optrel Swiss Air is P3 certified and ATEX rated II 3D Ex ic IIIB T4 Dc, suiting surface operations as well as underground hard rock and tunnelling work. Use it in washplants, workshops and processing facilities, or for tasks like heading excavation, shotcreting and jumbo drilling.
Always check suitability against your site's hazard assessment and applicable state requirements.
