Improve Safety - Use Self Contained Breathing Apparatus

Faced with the challenge of an emergency in marine, industrial or fire environments having ready access to lightweight breathing apparatus can make all the difference.

Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) products have recently been updated with a new Advanced Carrying System (ACS). The system has been developed following extensive research leading to the anticipation that the new ACS will become the industry standard carrier for SCBA in the perils of marine, industrial and fire environments.

ACS is a major breakthrough in SCBA carrying systems and offers the following benefits:

Diminished user burden:
The advanced carrying system is lightweight - only 2kg to 3.1kg without the mask and cylinder.  The system also provides flexibility of movement and comfort thanks to a sculptured, soft back plate, which has been developed as a result of research carried out with osteopaths and fabric and industrial technologists.

Easy decontamination:
The back plate of an ACS system and harness can both be washed with turnout gear. The highly durable material will maintain its flame retardant qualities for 50 washes at 30-40 degrees.

High performance pneumatics:
The reliable pneumatics system comes with compact first breath activated demand valves including bypass. Removing the pneumatics simply requires rotating them by 90 degrees, eliminating the need for tools.

Lower through life costs:
The ACS system features corrosion resistant nickel-plated components as well as flame retardant webbing and a cylinder band for further safety.

Flexible solutions:
A wide range of face masks, cylinders and valve styles are available, allowing ACS systems to be tailored to individual requirements. It is also possible to select from a range of materials with either padded or non-padded harnesses. A hard carrying case is a further option.
