OVERVIEW

Advanced Respiratory and Face Protection

The Walter Airshield With 4500V Respirator Kit (SKU: AP1K-A-4500V) is a comprehensive safety solution designed for industrial professionals who require both respiratory defense and high-impact face protection. Engineered for environments rich in particulates, such as metal grinding, finishing, and surface preparation, this system integrates a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with a durable visor. The core of the system is the 4500V respirator unit, which delivers a consistent stream of filtered air, creating positive pressure within the headtop to prevent the ingress of contaminants.

Technically, the Airshield system is built to meet rigorous safety standards. The visor assembly is constructed from impact-resistant materials compliant with ANSI Z87.1, ensuring protection against high-velocity debris. The respiratory component utilizes high-efficiency filters capable of capturing fine dust and mists, significantly reducing the operator's exposure to hazardous airborne particles. The unit's airflow management is designed to optimize battery life while maintaining sufficient flow rates to ensure user safety and comfort throughout a standard shift.

Ergonomics play a vital role in the design of the AP1K-A-4500V. The weight is distributed to minimize neck strain, and the adjustable headgear allows for a customized fit for various head sizes. The face seal is crafted from soft, hypoallergenic materials that conform to the face without causing irritation, ensuring a tight seal that is crucial for the efficacy of the positive pressure system. This kit is an essential asset for facilities prioritizing MRO safety compliance and operator health.

FAQ

The kit typically includes the Airshield visor assembly, the 4500V respirator blower unit, a rechargeable battery, a battery charger, filters, a connecting air hose, and a comfort belt.

While it provides respiratory protection, the standard Airshield visor is usually clear and designed for grinding. For welding, you would need a specific welding lens attachment or a different model designed for arc flash protection.

Battery runtime depends on the fan speed and filter saturation, but industrial PAPR units generally offer 8-10 hours of operation to cover a full work shift.

Yes, the visor is designed to meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-velocity impact protection, making it suitable for grinding and machining tasks.

Yes, the spacious design of the Airshield visor typically allows ample room for operators to wear prescription eyewear comfortably underneath.

Filter life depends on the dust concentration in your environment. The unit usually has an indicator or alarm to alert you when airflow is restricted and the filter needs replacing.

The airflow is directed to circulate over the visor to prevent fogging and provide breathing air, generally without blowing directly into the eyes, maintaining comfort.

Most face seals are removable and can be wiped down or hand washed according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain hygiene.
