The MSA 30/100
chemical breathing set is small, comfortable and offers a much longer escape
time, making these sets ideal for tunneling. The set converts Carbon dioxide
which is exhaled into oxygen, as is shown in the picture on the left it is light
and easy to wear. These sets are designed for emergency use in a gas alarm situation,
as unlike the Sabre-10 & 15-B they carry a significant recharge cost. Although
these sets do allow up to an hour escape time, thus making them a necessity
in certain situations and the most effective answer. The set has a lead tag
situated at the front which shows that the seal has not been broken, sets require
very little maintenance and have a very long shelf life. These sets are standard
stock items on our hire fleet although sales are to order they are normally
available in 5 to 6 working days.
MSA Fresh Air Breathing Apparatus
MSA fresh air assisted breathing prevents user fatigue, and a built in overflow
valve provides a balanced flow preventing discomfort to the eyes. Twin
breathing hoses mean that the user can use tools/shovels etc. without impedance.
Fresh air is blown along a supply hose to one or two users as required. One
or two users with varying supply lengths from 9-54 metres each. Air flow greater
than 120 1/min is available to the user on "1 man" selection and at "Min Flow"
setting. The user can then increase the airflow if desired. When a second user
connects to the Turbo-Flo Blower the "2 Man" position is selected and this automatically
ensures flow greater than 120 1/min for each user. Again the airflow can be
increased from the "Min Flow" setting is required.
Firefly
II
The FIREFLY II ADSU (Automatic Distress Signaling Unit) is a battery operated
compact alarm that automatically signals for help if the wearer becomes injured.
The unit provides Ex rated protection to personnel who could be injured and
not noticed due to their location. The unit will raise the first alarm if it
has not detected motion for 20 seconds. If after a further 8 seconds the wearer
is still motionless a second alarm will activate.
Weighing only 200 grams, including the 9 volt battery it uses advanced electronic
technology to provide the most reliable protection available. The unit virtually
eliminates false alarms because is features a patented motion sensor which easily
distinguishes between minimal wearer motion and no motion at all.
