OVERVIEW

High-Performance PAPR with True Color Optics

Elevate your welding experience with the Walter Airplus Black Vision Helmet, a state-of-the-art PAPR system engineered for the modern professional. This comprehensive kit combines advanced respiratory filtration with high-definition auto-darkening optics, offering a complete solution for safety and performance. The system is built around a powerful blower unit that draws air through a high-efficiency HEPA filter, removing 99.97% of airborne contaminants before delivering it to the helmet. This positive pressure system not only protects your lungs but also provides a cooling effect, significantly increasing comfort in hot welding environments.

Crystal Clear Vision: The Black Vision helmet features a high-quality Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) equipped with True Color Technology. Unlike older lenses that obscure the work surface with a monochromatic tint, this lens delivers a bright, realistic view of the arc and puddle. This clarity is crucial for intricate TIG work or high-speed MIG welding where precision is paramount. The helmet also includes an external grind mode button, allowing operators to switch seamlessly between welding and grinding tasks without removing their gloves or lifting the hood.

Ergonomics and Endurance: Designed for all-day wear, the Airplus system features a comfortable, flame-retardant belt that distributes the weight of the blower unit evenly across the waist. The breathing hose is protected by a durable cover to prevent damage from sparks and spatter. With a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, the unit delivers consistent airflow for extended periods, ensuring you stay protected from the first arc to the final weld of the day. The blower unit offers adjustable airflow settings, allowing you to customize the volume of air based on your personal preference and working conditions.

Intelligent Safety Features: The Airplus system is smart. It constantly monitors airflow and battery status, providing immediate feedback via audible and vibrating alarms if attention is needed. This ensures that you never unknowingly operate with reduced protection. For welders who demand the best in safety technology and optical performance, the Walter Airplus Black Vision is the definitive choice.

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.
