Heads up at stand G16

Posted to on Share:

For the last 30 years the escape breathing apparatus market has been the same a cumbersome compressed air bottle, uncomfortable hood/facemask, complex donning and frequent maintenance.

The latest HEAD10 breathing apparatus, engineered by Semmco Life Protection Systems, is a much needed innovation in this industry.

Essential to a range of industries including oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical, this hooded self contained breathing apparatus is designed for escape scenarios.

Unlike its competitors HEAD 10 produces oxygen from potassium superoxide, commonly known as KO₂. This chemical has been used in various industries including mining for over 100 years.

By using this chemical to produce oxygen rather then compressed air the user is provided with an all encompassing apparatus with no components obstructing their arms or legs and an overall weight of 1.5 kg. KO₂ also requires no maintenance giving the product a maintenance free shelf life of 12 years.

The HEAD10 ensures the user is able to don the apparatus and escape quickly, critical when considering the emergency situation they are used in. With no maintenance, this product offers a more convenient, accessible form of breathing apparatus then ever before. Learning how to use the HEAD10 safely and efficiently also requires little training, a testament to the thought and quality interjected into the model.
