AIRcontrol - Safeguarding those who give 100% in every emergency

The alarm is still blaring through the fire station. Jim, fully suited up, climbs into the vehicle. Every second counts. Upon arrival, he assesses the situation: flames are raging, lighting up the night sky. It’s a multi-family house. Thick, black smoke pours from the windows. His first thought: there could still be people inside. He pulls the breathing air mask over his face, reaches for the air tank, and activates the valve for breathing protection. The familiar hiss – air flows in, he’s ready. Ready to save lives.

Protecting and saving lives – this is the VTI mission that drives the development and production of our products. We take great pride in knowing that the products from our AIRcontrol business unit help to protect the lives of firefighters like Jim, who risk their own lives every day to keep others safe.

But what kind of valve did Jim activate? It could be our K632 EFV - Excess Flow Valve with sinterfilter. Equipped with a permanent pressure indicator, an Excess Flow Valve (EFV) and a sinterfilter, it’s the ideal, reliable breathing protection valve for daily firefighting operations. The EFV is a safety feature that provides extra security. In the case of suddenly released cylinder contents (e.g., due to accidental opening or valve breakage), it reduces the outflowing air volume, preventing the cylinder from being propelled uncontrollably, potentially causing, in the worst case, injuries.

The sinterfilter protects Jim's breathing circuit by reliably filtering out contaminants like particles or water from the cylinder.

Our AIRcontrol business unit includes a wide range of products designed to protect Jim and his fellow firefighters with the highest quality standards. Check it out!
