Gas Detection and Respiratory Protection for the Fumigation Industry

Draeger-Tubes

Quick, Easy and Comprehensive Fumigant Measurement

The Draeger-Tube system is the most popular form of gas and vapor measurement in the world.  This colorimetric indicator system is easy to use, produces quick results, and offers the most comprehensive choice of hazard detected.  Draeger-Tubes are available for all of the most commonly used fumigation gases.  Tubes are available for measuring health and safety levels.  Several tubes can measure higher concentrations to ensure the proper levels for effective fumigation have been reached.

Specially developed Fumigation Simultest Sets can measure up to 5 gases and vapors at once.  These are most commonly used in ports of entry to check remaining levels of fumigant.  The Simultest Sets rapidly determine the fumigant of an unknown or questionably marked container.

Personal Monitor / Maintenance-Free Monitoring

The Draeger Pac 5000 is a low-maintenance single gas monitor for CO, and O2, while the Pac 7000 also measures PH3.  The small size makes it very comfortable and easy to wear on one’s belt, lapel, or breast pocket all day.  The robust rubber over mold withstands the use and abuse expected in the most demanding applications.  The Pac 5000/7000 is designed to operate over one year without battery changes.

The measured gas concentration is continuously displayed on a large LCD.  When allowable limits have been exceeded, a bright visual, piercing audible and internal vibrating alarm are activated so the user is fully aware of the hazard under any circumstance.  The Pac 5000/7000 Monitors have two levels of alarm that are distinguished with distinctive single and double repeating signals.

Confined Space Entry Monitor - MultiGas Monitor for the Grain Industry

The X-am 5000 is a multiple gas-measuring device that is well suited to a wide variety of agricultural gas detection applications, especially confined space entry, like those done in grain silos.  Regulations require measurement of combustible gases, oxygen, and any other toxic gases that may be present.

The flexibility of the X-am 5000 product line allows every user to configure an instrument to meet their needs.  Monitor up to 5 gases at once including combustible gases, oxygen and phosphine in low and high concentrations with the dual carbon monoxide/hydrogen sulfide sensor.  The concentrations measured by all sensors are continuously shown in the clear LCD display.  When unsafe levels are present, a loud audible and a bright visual and a powerful vibration alarm warn the user.

The X-am 5000 can be equipped with either rechargeable NiMH or replaceable alkaline battery packs.  A wide range of accessories like sampling pumps meet your specific applications.

Masks and Filters - Phosphine Filter Mask

The Panorama Nova Series Filter Masks are the benchmark in fit and comfort in respiratory protection.  With its patented triple seal design and soft EPDM material, the Panorama Nova fits large, medium, and small face sizes.  The innovative 5-point head strap system secures the mask evenly over the face providing an excellent fit while remaining very comfortable.

The centrally located filter allows for a wide range of head movement and does not restrict peripheral vision.  NIOSH approved cartridges screw securely into the mask.  Cartridges for phosphine and particulates are available.

Industrial SCBA - For Maximum Protection

Working with some fumigants (such as methyl bromide or high concentrations of phosphine) requires the highest level of respiratory protection equipment.  The Draeger ProAir Evolution SCBA provides the protection needed in these very toxic environments.  This is because our industrial SCBA uses the same high-performance and pneumatic system as our fire fighting unit and is backed with a lifetime warranty.

The NIOSH certified ProAir Evolution uses an ergonomic and light weight carbon fiber back plate and fully adjustable harness system, providing the user with exceptional safety, maneuverability, and comfort.  Our one-size-fits-all Panorama Nova mask provides a safe and reliable seal to all users.  Compressed air cylinders with durations of 30, 45 and 60 minutes are available.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
