OVERVIEW

High-Efficiency Particulate Filtration for Optrel PAPR Systems

The Optrel 4088.200 is the designated High-Efficiency (HE) particulate filter for the Optrel e3000 and e3000x Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems. Engineered to meet the rigorous TH3 classification under European standards, this filter provides the highest level of respiratory protection available in the class, capturing 99.8% of airborne particles. This includes solid and liquid aerosols, welding smoke, metallic dust, and other hazardous particulates commonly generated during industrial welding and fabrication processes.

The filter media is constructed to maximize surface area, which serves two critical functions: it extends the service life of the filter by accommodating a higher particulate load before clogging, and it maintains low breathing resistance. Low resistance is essential for optimizing the battery life of the blower unit and ensuring consistent airflow to the welder's helmet. As a genuine OEM component, the 4088.200 ensures a perfect mechanical seal within the blower housing, preventing contaminated air from bypassing the filtration media—a critical safety factor in environments containing toxic substances like hexavalent chromium or manganese.

This filter is strictly a particulate filter and does not provide protection against gases or vapors unless used in conjunction with a specific gas filter adapter (where applicable and supported). For facility managers and safety officers, utilizing genuine Optrel filters is necessary to maintain the NIOSH or CE certification of the respirator system. The 4088.200 is designed for easy inspection and replacement, allowing for minimal downtime during maintenance intervals.

FAQ

TH3 is the highest classification for PAPR filters under European standards, indicating an inward leakage of less than 0.2% and a filtration efficiency of at least 99.8% against particulates.

Your Optrel e3000 or e3000x blower unit has an audible and visual alarm that will trigger when airflow is reduced due to a clogged filter. You should change it immediately when this alarm sounds.

Yes, the 4088.200 HE particulate filter is fully compatible with both the standard e3000 and the newer e3000x blower units.

No, you should never blow out a HEPA filter with compressed air. This can damage the delicate filter media and allow harmful particles to pass through. Always replace it with a new one.

No, this is a particulate filter only. It removes solid and liquid particles like smoke and dust. To filter odors or gases (like ozone), you would need a specific gas filter attachment if available for your system.

No, the pre-filter is a separate component that sits in front of this main filter to catch large sparks and dust. You should continue to use and change your pre-filter regularly to extend the life of this main HEPA filter.

While indefinite if stored properly in original packaging, it is recommended to store them in a dry, clean environment. Consult the packaging for any specific expiration dates related to storage conditions.

Yes, the HEPA filter is effective at capturing the zinc oxide fumes generated when welding galvanized steel, which cause metal fume fever.
