Our suggestion: Dräger Oxy® 3000/6000 MK III
The Dräger Oxy 3000/6000 Self-Rescuers are designed to supply employees with oxygen in the event of an incident. In situations of oxygen deficiency, or where dangerous gases or smoke are released, these devices give workers more time (30-minute and 60-minute version) to reach the closest safety area or complete a successful escape.
They offer simple and reliable protection that resists the harshest conditions.
Easy and convenient
Both devices come with a comfort bite mouthpiece and a hand opening for left- or right-handed wearers.
High level of safety
Thanks to its new design, the internal functional unit is protected against damage. Anti-static, light, and compact, it ensures maximum security by supplying oxygen right upon donning.
Fast function check
In what condition is your Dräger oxygen self-rescuer under? Thanks to the internal safety eye window, you can estimate the mechanical stress your device has been subjected to and immediately identify if moisture or KO2 fragments are present inside the unit.
Robust construction
Its metal and plastic exterior shell feature an interior integrated shock absorber to protect the KO2 cartridge against damage in harsh environments such as mining, sewage work, or in a confined space. When activated, the exterior shell will be left behind to allow a safe and uncomplicated escape.
Cost-efficient
Less maintenance = lower costs. Robust and built to last, the Oxy 3000 MK III and the Oxy 6000 MK III escape respirators can be used maintenance-free for up to ten years - no additional tools or testing required.
Workers can quickly visually inspect the exterior shell for mechanical stress after impact and look through the safety eye to know about its functionality to reduce operating costs.
