OVERVIEW

Experience Superior Comfort and Protection with the Walter Airshield

Grinding and finishing metal can be hot, dusty work, but with the Walter Airplus Airshield, you can breathe easy and see clearly. Designed to work with your Walter Airplus PAPR blower, this headtop takes personal protective equipment to the next level. Instead of struggling to draw breath through a tight-fitting mask, the Airshield bathes your face in a cool, refreshing stream of purified air. This not only protects your lungs from harmful metal dust and fumes but also keeps you cool in hot shop environments, significantly reducing fatigue.

Visibility is everything when you are working with precision tools. The Airshield features a wide, high-impact visor that offers an unobstructed view of your workpiece. Thanks to the intelligent airflow design, fresh air is directed across the inside of the visor, virtually eliminating fogging—a common frustration with standard safety glasses and shields. Whether you are deburring, sanding, or performing heavy grinding, the shield protects your face from sparks and high-velocity particles.

Comfort hasn't been overlooked. The headgear is fully adjustable, allowing you to dial in the perfect fit for all-day wear. The face seal is soft against the skin and accommodates facial hair better than tight-fitting respirators (though proper fit testing is always recommended). Upgrade your safety gear with the Airshield and experience the difference that positive pressure respiratory protection makes to your workday.

Why Choose the Airshield?

  • Breathe Clean: Keeps hazardous dust and particulates out of your lungs.
  • Stay Cool: Constant airflow prevents heat buildup inside the headtop.
  • Fog-Free Vision: Air circulation keeps your visor clear for precision work.
  • All-Day Comfort: Balanced weight and premium suspension reduce neck strain.

FAQ

The Airshield is a protective headtop assembly designed to be used with the Walter Airplus PAPR system, providing both respiratory and face protection.

No, the AP-AR-SH is the headtop assembly only. The Airplus blower unit, battery, and filters are sold separately.

Yes, the Airshield features a high-impact visor designed to protect against flying debris and sparks generated during grinding.

Yes, the face seal is a consumable part and can be replaced to maintain hygiene and a proper seal.

Yes, the airflow from the PAPR system is directed across the visor, which helps to prevent fogging and keeps the welder cool.

The AP-AR-SH is primarily a grinding and finishing shield. For welding applications, a specific welding helmet headtop compatible with the Airplus system would be required, unless this unit is fitted with a welding lens module (check specific configuration).

Clean the visor and shell with mild soap and water. Do not use solvents that could damage the plastic. The face seal can be wiped down or replaced if heavily soiled.
