OVERVIEW

Breathe Easier with Total Protection

When you are under the hood, the last thing you want to worry about is what you are breathing in. The Optrel Swiss Air system changed the game for welder comfort, and with the ABE1P Combination Filter (4088.455), you can take that protection to the next level. This isn't just a dust filter; it is a heavy-duty shield against the invisible hazards of the shop. Whether you are working with stainless steel, galvanized materials, or in areas where chemical vapors hang in the air, this filter has your back—and your lungs.

The 'Combifilter' name means it does double duty. First, it blocks the nasty particles and smoke you can see. Second, and most importantly, it scrubs out organic and inorganic gases, as well as acidic vapors. This means fewer headaches, less irritation, and a safer long-term career. It is designed to fit perfectly into your existing Swiss Air backpack unit, snapping into place so you can get back to work quickly. Despite its heavy-duty protection, it is engineered to keep the air flowing smoothly, so you don't feel like you are fighting for breath.

Don't compromise on your health. If your job site involves more than just simple dust, upgrade your Swiss Air with this ABE1P filter. It is the genuine replacement part you need to keep your equipment running at peak performance and to keep yourself safe from the fumes that standard filters leave behind.

FAQ

A stands for organic gases/vapors, B for inorganic gases/vapors, E for acid gases, and P for particles. The '1' indicates the capacity class (low capacity) for the gas portion.

The particle filter should be changed when the airflow alarm sounds. The gas filter must be changed according to a schedule based on exposure levels, or immediately if you detect taste or smell of contaminants.

No, this filter (4088.455) is designed exclusively for the Optrel Swiss Air system. The e3000 series uses different filters.

No, ABE1P filters do not protect against Carbon Monoxide. CO requires a specialized filter or supplied air system.

Yes, combination gas filters contain activated carbon, which makes them heavier than standard particle-only filters. However, the Swiss Air's backpack design distributes this weight well.

Yes, it protects against particles generated during grinding, as well as gases if present. However, if only dust is present, a standard particle filter is lighter and more economical.

Gas filters should be stored in an airtight container or bag when not in use to prevent them from absorbing moisture and contaminants from the ambient air, which depletes their life.

The activated carbon layer in the ABE filter is generally effective at reducing ozone and organic odors, making the breathing air much more pleasant.
