    Features & Benefits

    TH3 Respiratory Protection

    Provides the highest level of particulate respiratory protection, removing up to 99.8% of harmful airborne particles including welding fumes, smoke, aerosols and dust.

    Universal Optrel Compatibility

    Compatible with Optrel Helix, Panoramaxx, Crystal, Vegaview and Clearmaxx systems, allowing one respiratory platform for multiple applications.

    Up To 500 Times Cleaner Breathing Air

    Delivers significantly cleaner breathing air compared to the surrounding environment, helping reduce exposure to hazardous contaminants.

    Intelligent Airflow Management

    Integrated airflow sensors continuously monitor airflow and automatically adjust performance to maintain optimal protection.

    Three Adjustable Airflow Levels

    Choose between three airflow settings to suit the application and working conditions while maximising comfort and battery efficiency.

    Automatic Airflow Calibration

    Automatically calibrates airflow during start-up, ensuring consistent respiratory protection throughout the workday.

    Extended 18-Hour Battery Life

    High-efficiency battery technology provides up to 18 hours of continuous operation for uninterrupted all-day use.

    Cooling Forehead Ventilation

    Directs a portion of the airflow across the forehead to create a cooling effect, improving comfort during long shifts and hot environments.

    Eye-Friendly Air Distribution

    Fresh air is channelled directly towards the nose and mouth while minimising airflow across the eyes, helping prevent irritation and dryness.

    Gas & Odour Protection Options

    Optional A1B1E1 gas filters and Mountain Breeze odour filters provide protection against gases, vapours, ozone and unpleasant odours.

    ATEX Certified Versions Available

    ATEX Zone 2 and 22 certification enables safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres where required.
