VTN Mobile Breathing Air Systems

While performing maintenance and repair work on industrial installations, the use of a suitable self-contained breathing apparatus often is a key condition, especially if this work is being performed in enclosed spaces.
In certain cases, the use of a self-contained breathing apparatus alone will be insufficient because of the duration of the work. In these cases, external breathing air facilities with a significantly bigger breathing air capacity are required.

To meet the demand for these high-performance breathing air facilities, VTN has developed an extensive and high-quality range of mobile breathing air facilities in recent years. They vary from breathing air trolleys to life support units, which are suitable for installation in a truck or container. All of these products are designed to be suitable for daily use in severe conditions, taking into account the end users’ wishes.

All mobile breathing air facilities designed and manufactured by VTN have an official CE approval mark through Lloyd’s Register and they all meet the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. It will therefore come as no surprise that, based on their proven quality and user-friendliness, all of these VTN breathing air products have found their way to many well-known industrial (supply) companies and the associated specialist rental companies in the Netherlands and – by now – abroad.

COMPACT BREATHING AIR TROLLEY VTN APOLLO JR.

THE SUPER COMPACT BREATHING AIR TROLLEY.
The APOLLO JR. is a super compact breathing air trolley and as such the little brother of the APOLLO.

FEATURES & ADVANTAGES

This robust, virtually maintenance-free breathing air trolley, with its small size and weight, is highly versatile, especially for short-term use of breathing air during a job. This includes site maintenance in production environments or (cleaning) work in enclosed spaces such as tanks, cellars, etc. In short, in places where the use of self-contained breathing air is necessary.

In contrast to many other breathing air trolleys, the APOLLO JR. is suitable for the use of SCBA cylinders of various diameters and the SCBA cylinders of the Apollo Jr. are secured by means of cylinder straps (instead of chains for example).

The standard control panel of the APOLLO JR. can optionally be fitted with your own corporate identity.

THE COMPLETE BREATHING AIR COMBO-UNIT WHEN EASY OPERATION AND OPTIMUM SAFETY MUST BE GUARANTEED FOR UP TO SIX USERS

The JUPITER breathing air system is designed to guarantee maximum safety for up to six simultaneous breathing air users by means of a primary and a secondary breathing air system.

FEATURES & ADVANTAGES

The JUPITER breathing air system is designed to guarantee maximum safety for up to six simultaneous breathing air users by means of a primary and a secondary breathing air system. The primary breathing air system is supplied by a reliable low pressure compressor in combination with a breathing air filter unit. The latter ensures that optimum air quality in accordance with EN 12021 is guaranteed. For the secondary breathing air system, the so-called back-up system, two 50 liter/350 bar breathing air cylinders are used. Both breathing air systems operate fully independently from each other.

The aluminum control panel specially designed for the JUPITER with engraved diagrams and text makes it very easy to use for the operator, plus it provides clear, relevant information at a glance. All valves, manometers and flowmeters are installed in this control panel made of anodized aluminum.

Furthermore, the JUPITER breathing air combo-unit has various pressure sensors and a gas detection system to continuously measure the quality of the air entering the compressor. If the pressures are incorrect or polluted air is detected by the gas detection system, the system will automatically switch to the back-up system and trigger an alarm signal. The entire breathing air system of the JUPITER is CE approved and complies with SIR-guidelines (categories B1/B2/B3).
