OVERVIEW

Advanced Respiratory Protection for Industrial Welders

The Walter Airplus Black Vision Helmet is a premium Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system designed to protect professional welders from hazardous fumes, dust, and particulates. In heavy industrial environments, air quality is a critical safety concern. This system addresses that challenge by delivering a constant stream of clean, filtered air directly to the breathing zone, ensuring that the operator breathes air that is 99.97% free of solid and liquid particles. The unit is robust yet lightweight, designed to withstand the rigors of daily shop use while minimizing the physical strain often associated with wearing respiratory equipment.

At the heart of the system is the Airplus blower unit, which features intelligent airflow control. It maintains a consistent flow rate even as the filter loads, ensuring positive pressure is always maintained inside the helmet to keep contaminants out. The included lithium-ion battery provides ample runtime for a full shift, allowing welders to focus on their work without frequent interruptions for charging. The system also features audible and vibrating alarms that alert the user to low battery levels or blocked filters, adding an extra layer of safety compliance.

The "Black Vision" helmet itself is engineered for optical clarity. It utilizes Walter's True Color Technology, which eliminates the green tint found in traditional auto-darkening filters. This allows welders to see the weld pool in natural colors, improving precision and reducing eye fatigue over long periods. Combined with side windows for peripheral awareness, this helmet offers a superior visual experience that enhances both safety and productivity on the shop floor.

Whether you are working with stainless steel, galvanized materials, or in confined areas where ventilation is poor, the Walter Airplus Black Vision system provides the necessary protection to keep you healthy and compliant with safety regulations. It is an all-in-one solution that prioritizes the welder's long-term health without compromising on performance or comfort.

FAQ

The Walter Airplus system uses a HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of airborne particles, providing high-level protection against welding fumes and dust.

Yes, the Black Vision helmet features an external grind mode button, allowing you to switch modes quickly without lifting the hood.

The lithium-ion battery is designed to last for a full work shift, typically ranging from 10 to 14 hours depending on the airflow setting and filter condition.

True Color Technology is a feature of the auto-darkening lens that allows more colors of the visible spectrum to pass through, resulting in a clearer, more natural view of the weld pool compared to traditional green-tinted lenses.

Yes, the blower unit typically features adjustable airflow settings (e.g., standard and high speed) to suit user comfort and environmental conditions.

Yes, the breathing hose comes with a protective cover to shield it from sparks, spatter, and abrasion during welding operations.

Yes, the Airplus unit is equipped with audible and vibrating alarms that trigger when airflow is restricted (clogged filter) or when the battery is low.

Yes, both the main HEPA filter and the pre-filter are replaceable consumables available for the Walter Airplus system.
