Dräger Compressed Air Breathing Cylinders

High-Pressure Safety Cylinders for Reliable Respiratory Supply

The Dräger Compressed Air Breathing Cylinders are engineered to provide an uninterrupted, high-pressure supply of breathable air for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and life support systems. Designed using the latest carbon composite and aluminum technologies, these cylinders minimize overall pack weight while maximizing chemical and mechanical resilience. They are trusted globally by professional firefighters, mine rescue teams, and hazardous material technicians who operate in critical, immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) environments.

Key Technical Features

• Advanced Carbon Composite Architecture: Features an aluminum or plastic liner wrapped in high-tensile carbon and glass fibers, drastically reducing weight compared to traditional steel tanks.

• Robust Valve Technologies: Outfitted with high-performance cylinder valves that include integrated excess flow valves (EFV) to prevent accidental high-pressure air bursts if a valve is sheared.

• Long-Term Lifecycle Protection: Encased in an impact-resistant, UV-tolerant clear gel coat that shields structural fibers from severe physical abrasion, moisture, and chemical decay.

• Modular Connection Options: Supports standard metric thread systems as well as specialized quick-connect interfaces for rapid, tool-free field replenishment.

Industrial Benefits and Applications

• Structural and Wildland Firefighting: Reduces physical strain on emergency crews, allowing for enhanced agility and extended mission times during hot zone entries.

• Confined Space and Subterranean Entry: Lightweight, ultra-slim profile options facilitate safe navigation inside restricted industrial tanks, sewer systems, and utility tunnels.

• Hazardous Industrial Maintenance: Provides a stable and certified air supply during toxic gas line remediation, oil refinery shutdowns, and routine chemical plant turnarounds.
