Thanks to its robust design and up to ten years of maintenance-free operation, this escape device clearly stands out from many comparable solutions on the market. Similarly equipped to the [Dräger Saver CF], it impresses with its solid construction and effective oxygen supply under demanding working conditions.
Features and benefits
This self-rescuer relies on an automatic pressure relief valve and a comfort mouthpiece. This keeps your breathing air clean and at a pleasant temperature, while an integrated breathing bag with a volume of more than eight liters ensures sufficient oxygen reserves at all times. Before use, functionality can be quickly checked using the "Safety Eye" without any additional aids. The device is also antistatic and is very comfortable to wear thanks to the adjustable carrying ring. A separate training device is also available for safe donning during training.
Most important technical data at a glance:
- Operating temperatures: -5 °C to +50 °C in standby mode, -20 °C to +70 °C in escape situations
- Approval in accordance with EN 13794 for reliable respiratory protection
- Maintenance-free for up to ten years in regular use
- Total weight from 2.6 kg (without options)
- Inhalation temperature in accordance with EN 13794 up to a maximum of +50 °C
- Minimum duration of use: 30 minutes at 35 l/min respiratory minute volume
- Comfortable breathing bag (>8 l) for constant oxygen supply
The solid housing, optionally with abrasion protection, means the device can withstand even heavy use. The integrated pressure relief valve also ensures controlled exhalation, even during high levels of physical activity during the escape. Thanks to this design, there is no need for complex pressure and weight tests, which keeps operating costs to a minimum.
Certifications and standards
The self-rescuer meets the requirements of EN 13794, a standard that guarantees that aspects such as inhalation temperature, respiratory minute volume and wearing comfort are tested to strict specifications. Users can rest assured that the device has been tested and certified to meet the high European standards. At the same time, the housing has the necessary stability and anti-static properties for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Concrete application examples
- Tunnel construction and mining: Poor air conditions often occur in underground shafts. If hazardous gases exceed the permissible value, the device enables a safe escape.
- Chemical industry: In the event of accidents involving ammonia, chlorine or other hazardous substances, rapid evacuation is crucial. The oxygen self-rescuer ensures sufficient fresh breathing air.
- Refineries and power plants: This breathing protection is essential, especially when fires or explosions are imminent.
- Heavy industry: In the event of acute accidents with escaping hot vapors or toxic substances, a controlled retreat can be achieved without any risk to health.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How to activate the device
As soon as you open the housing and put on the mouthpiece, the oxygen supply starts automatically. Separate activation or switching on is not necessary.
May the device be exposed to extreme temperatures for long periods in standby mode?
The device can withstand -5 °C to +50 °C in standby mode without any problems. Short-term temperature peaks of up to +70 °C can be tolerated for a maximum of 24 hours without impairing its function.
Can the device be used multiple times?
This escape device is generally designed for single use in emergency situations. Re-use after activation requires a check by specialized professionals, which is not usually provided for.
What maintenance tasks need to be carried out
No maintenance work is required for a period of up to ten years. Thanks to the "Safety Eye", only a quick visual inspection is recommended to ensure that the housing remains undamaged and the indicator is displaying correctly.
Conclusion
With its robust design, certified reliability and maintenance-free operation over many years, this respiratory protection system is an indispensable companion in industries with potentially hazardous gases or fumes. The ability to be donned quickly and provide a constant supply of fresh oxygen is essential for safe evacuations. The escape device scores particularly well in terms of handling and durability, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of industries. Anyone looking for a robust, standard-compliant self-rescue device will find this model to be a particularly reliable solution.
