AP-AR-SH - Walter Airplus Airshield PAPR Headtop Assembly

Walter Airplus: Airshield PAPR Headtop Assembly

The Walter Airplus Airshield (SKU: AP-AR-SH) is a specialized protective headtop designed for integration with the Walter Airplus Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. Engineered for industrial environments where airborne particulates and flying debris pose significant risks, this unit provides a dual layer of protection: respiratory safety and physical face shielding. It is an essential component for facilities adhering to strict air quality and worker safety standards, particularly in metal fabrication, grinding, and finishing operations.

Constructed from durable, high-impact materials, the Airshield withstands the rigors of heavy-duty industrial use. It features a specifically designed air ducting system that connects seamlessly to the Airplus blower unit's breathing tube. This connection delivers a constant stream of HEPA-filtered air into the headtop, creating a positive pressure environment. This positive pressure is crucial as it pushes air out through the face seal, effectively preventing contaminated ambient air from entering the breathing zone, even if the seal is momentarily compromised by movement.

The assembly includes a comfortable, adjustable headgear suspension system that distributes weight evenly, minimizing neck strain during long shifts. The face seal is crafted from soft, flame-retardant materials that conform to various face shapes to ensure a secure fit without causing irritation. For maintenance and inventory management, the AP-AR-SH is a modular unit, allowing for the replacement of consumables such as sweatbands and face seals, ensuring a long service life and low total cost of ownership.
