OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Respiratory Protection for the Walter Airplus System

In the demanding environments of heavy fabrication and industrial manufacturing, air quality is paramount. The Walter Airplus© P3/He Filter (12-Pack) is the critical line of defense for operators using the Walter Airplus Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. Designed to meet rigorous safety standards, these filters provide exceptional filtration efficiency, capturing 99.95% of airborne particulates, including hazardous welding fumes, metallic dusts, and mists.

The P3 rating (equivalent to HE or High Efficiency in many contexts) ensures that even the finest particles—often the most dangerous to long-term health—are effectively trapped before they can enter the welder's breathing zone. This is particularly vital when working with materials like stainless steel, which can generate hexavalent chromium, or manganese alloys. By maintaining a clean supply of air, these filters help facilities comply with OSHA and CSA occupational safety regulations regarding permissible exposure limits (PELs).

This bulk package contains 12 replacement filters, making it an ideal choice for procurement managers and safety officers looking to streamline inventory. Frequent filter changes are necessary to maintain the positive pressure and airflow required for the PAPR system to function correctly. A clogged filter not only reduces protection but also strains the PAPR blower motor and drains the battery faster. Stocking the 12-pack ensures that your team never has to compromise on safety due to a lack of consumables.

Key Operational Benefits

  • Maximum Filtration: P3 classification ensures removal of toxic particulates.
  • System Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Walter Airplus unit for a perfect seal.
  • Inventory Efficiency: The 12-pack format reduces ordering frequency and administrative overhead.

FAQ

These filters are designed exclusively for the Walter Airplus Powered Air Purifying Respirator system. They may not fit other brands of PAPR units.

P3 is a high-efficiency particulate filtration rating. It indicates that the filter removes at least 99.95% of airborne particles, including solid and liquid aerosols, making it suitable for protection against toxic welding fumes.

Filters should be changed when the PAPR unit's flow alarm sounds, indicating reduced airflow, or if the filter is physically damaged. In heavy fume environments, more frequent changes may be required.

No, these are P3 particulate filters (HE). They protect against dust, mists, and fumes but do not provide protection against gases or vapors (like ozone or shielding gases) unless combined with a specific gas cartridge if available for the system.

No, this SKU (AP-FIL-03-12) typically contains the main P3 filters. Pre-filters, which extend the life of the main filter by catching larger particles, are usually sold separately.

No, these are disposable filters. They cannot be washed or cleaned with compressed air, as this would damage the filter media and compromise protection. They must be replaced when clogged.

While specific shelf life can vary, filters should be stored in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and contaminants to maintain their integrity until use.

In this context, 'He' likely refers to 'High Efficiency' (HE), reinforcing the P3 rating which denotes the highest level of particulate filtration efficiency.
