Dräger composite cylinder 6,0 Liter 300 bar

Designed using leading technology and advanced materials, Dräger’s range of Composite Cylinders can be used in any application where breathing becomes difficult or impossible.

Features
Through continuous product improvement and investment in technology, Dräger provides the highest quality pneumatics, carrying systems and high performance, ultra lightweight, carbon composite cylinders. Because Dräger manufacture all elements of the breathing apparatus system: masks, carrying systems, pneumatics and cylinders you can be assured of the highest quality and maximum performance. The cylinders are manufactured, and tested using automated computer controlled processes. Continuous re-investment in plant and equipment ensures that Dräger cylinders are manufactured and tested in accordance with the most technologically advanced processes available. Automatic data collection ensures full traceability of materials used and the effective monitoring of critical process parameters.

Aluminium liner
These ranges of cylinders are manufactured from a seamless aluminium liner, which is subsequently over wrapped with carbon and glass fibers. The aluminium liner is cold drawn from AA 6061 aluminium plate and then wrapped with carbon fibre in an epoxy matrix, using a computer controlled 4 axis wrapping machine.

Glass fibre
An external layer of glass fibre in an epoxy matrix is then wrapped onto the cylinder. This external layer of glass fibre is applied to enhance the resistance of the cylinder to impact and abrasion in service. Following a high temperature curing of the epoxy matrix, an external gel coat is applied to the surface of the cylinder. This coating provides a smooth, easily to clean surface for the cylinder. Every batch of 200 cylinders is subjected to exhaustive testing in accordance with the legislative design and manufacturing codes (EN 12245 and 97/23/EC), under the supervision of a Notified Body. All relevant production data is retained electronically for the full working life of the cylinder.

Dräger Quick Connect: Simple and fast cylinder changes
Whether it is during use or maintenance, you can change cylinders quickly without the need for screwing or unscrewing the handwheel manually. The Dräger Quick Connect cylinder valve connection saves you time and ensures a safe connection between the cylinder and breathing apparatus.
