e-breathe Back-Mounted Filter System
Back-carry system for respiratory masks with one or two filters
The e-breathe back-mounted filter system offers a practical solution for carrying the filters of a half or full mask comfortably on the belt or on the back. This removes the weight from the mask, making the breathing unit overall lighter, more ergonomic, and more comfortable to use, while avoiding neck pain caused by shifting the weight from the head to the back. At the same time, the field of vision remains completely unobstructed, since no filters are mounted directly on the mask.
The heart of the system is the e-breathe Smartbelt. It is equipped with a bayonet adapter for attaching the e-breathe Y-Connector. Either one or two filters can be mounted on the Y-Connector.
The Smartbelt allows for two flexible positions of the Y-Connector:
- at hip height, directly on the belt, or
- at shoulder height, between the shoulder blades.
The connection to the half or full mask is made via a flexible breathing hose. The wearer inhales through the filter and hose using their own lung power (negative-pressure system).

Product Features e-breathe Back-Mounted Filter System
The system is used wherever:
- the maximum permissible weight of a filter is exceeded (e.g. over 300 g for half masks or over 500 g for full masks),
- several filters must be used at the same time,
- the half mask is worn under a face shield or welding protection screen.
When the system is operated with two filters, breathing resistance is significantly reduced, allowing for longer wear times and more comfortable working. In addition, filter service life is extended, since filter saturation is distributed evenly across both filters — a particular advantage when using expensive specialty filters.
By shifting the filter unit to the back, the weight carried on the head is reduced, resulting in greater freedom of movement, optimized wearing comfort, and better balance. The filters are especially well protected by their position on the back during work involving high heat exposure, sparks (e.g. welding), or grinding. This significantly minimizes the risk of drawing in hot gases or sparks.
The system offers a cost-effective alternative to powered air-purifying respirator systems that are likewise worn on the back, and can be upgraded and extended at any time with the e-breathe Smartblower respiratory blower.
