  • Blue color for easy visual identification.
  • Mechanical keying of circuits and strong materials ensure reliability.
  • Dedicated inspection procedures and individual operation tests.
Product Range
  • Quick Couplings: AQR 08, AQR 11, AQR 19, and AQR 06 for various connections to PPE and distribution equipment.
  • Flexible Tubing: TQR decontaminable flexible tubing and HQR spiral hosing for different applications.
  • Filter Units: BQR 180 for transforming instrumentation air into Breathing Air.
  • Manifold Units: DQR for simultaneous supply to multiple PPE.
  • Hose Reels: EQR automatic and manual hose reels for flexible tubing.
Technical Specifications
  • Operating pressure up to 10 bar and temperature range from -10°C to +65°C.
  • Various diameters and lengths available for hoses and couplings.
  • Special features like anti-hose whip technology and ergonomic designs for ease of use.
Applications
  • Supplying Breathing Air to PPE such as masks, half suits, and ventilated suits.
  • Use in industries like nuclear, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and asbestos removal.
Recommendations
  • Use only on Breathing Air circuits and ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
  • Lubricate with G86 Stäubli lubricant for Breathing Air quality.
Specifications
  • HQR Flexible Tubing: Operating temperature range is -20°C to +30°C, with a maximum working pressure of 10 bar. The weight of the spiral hose equipped with 2 G 3/8 female fittings is 1.040 kg.
  • BQR 180 Filter Unit: Features a two-stage filtration system with a sub-micronic filter for aerosols and solid particles, and an activated carbon filter for oil vapor, aerosols, and odors. The unit has a maximum flow rate of 3,000 Nl/min and a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar.
  • DQR Manifold Unit: Designed for a maximum working pressure of 10 bar and operating temperatures from -10°C to +60°C. It supplies breathing air to multiple personal protective equipment.
  • EQR Hose Reels: Available in automatic and manual versions, with hoses of different diameters (10 mm, 13 mm, 19 mm). Maximum working pressure is 10 bar, and operating temperatures range from -20°C to +60°C.
Procedures and Recommendations
  • Filter Unit Adaptability: The BQR 180 filter unit can be delivered with no couplings, or equipped with 2 or 4 AQR 08 sockets, depending on the user's needs.
  • Flow Calculation: To determine the necessary flow for applications, consider the consumption of connected personal protective equipment and the maximum flow of the filter unit. Include pressure losses over the entire line in calculations.
  • Maintenance: Filters in the BQR 180 unit should be replaced annually or when the clogging indicator turns red. The first stage filter is changed once a year, and the second stage filter twice a year.
Applications
  • BQR 180 Filter Unit: Converts instrumentation air into "Breathing Quality" air for personal protective equipment in industries such as nuclear, chemical, and pharmaceutical.
  • DQR Manifold Unit: Mobile system for supplying breathing air to multiple protective equipment simultaneously.
  • EQR Hose Reels: Suitable for air networks in various industries, including nuclear, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Technical Features
  • Construction: BQR 180 filter unit is constructed with an aluminum profile frame with anodic protection. DQR manifold units are available in anodized aluminum, nickel-plated brass, or stainless steel.
  • Ergonomics: BQR 180 features leak-tightness, safety, and ease of handling with adjustable button technology. EQR hose reels are designed for corrosion resistance and easy maintenance.
