Powered Air-Purifying Laser Respirator (PAPR)

MANX AIR AirShield Laser Pro

The MANX AIR AirShield Laser Pro is a professional powered air-purifying respirator designed for laser cleaning, laser welding, laser cutting and other demanding fibre-laser applications.

It combines certified laser eye and face protection with powered respiratory filtration in one integrated system, helping protect the operator from hazardous reflected laser radiation and airborne contaminants generated during laser processing.

Designed for fibre-laser wavelengths between 950–1100nm, the AirShield Laser Pro provides OD 8+ optical protection while maintaining good visibility, comfort and airflow during extended periods of use.

Compliance and Intended Use

The MANX AIR AirShield Laser Pro is intended for industrial fibre-laser applications operating within the 950–1100nm wavelength range.

Final suitability must always be assessed as part of the user’s laser safety and workplace risk assessment, taking into account:

* Laser power output
* Exposure duration
* Beam divergence
* Working distance
* Reflective surfaces
* Airborne contaminants
* Local ventilation and extraction requirements

The end user remains responsible for compliance with all applicable laser safety, respiratory protection and workplace regulations, including UKCA, CE, PUWER, COSHH and EN 60825-1 requirements.
