remains secure on the body, whilst a quick release mechanism on both the waistbelt and shoulder harness allows quick and easy detachment for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Adjustable and robust, the new heavy duty stainless steel strap buckles ensure long life and easy operation when donning and doffing, and the shoulder pads and waistbelt both feature a new quick release mechanism for easy maintenance. As an added benefit, the new hose sleeves on the shoulder harness are covered with reflective material to increase visibility and, at the same time, provide additional hose protection and minimise the risk of snagging.
Also featuring 3-point height adjustment, the lightweight, high strength carbon composite back plate incorporates further integral hose channels to eliminate snagging and offer improved protection. Large carrying handles have also been integrated for better handling and safety, and a new slide and swivel waistbelt mechanism ensures correct positioning on the body during donning. The first stage pressure reducer has also been fitted with a quick release mechanism for easy maintenance.
The effortless assembly and disassembly of all major components means that not only can the set be configured rapidly, but easy care and maintenance will guarantee quick turnaround times in the workshop and, as a result, ensure that the breathing apparatus is always ready for use. Draeger Safety manufactures a wide range of respiratory protective equipment as well as personal escape sets, chemical protection suits and both portable and fixed gas detection systems.
