PPS to market German partner's range
Professional Protection Systems (PPS) has announced that a radical redesign of the traditional plumbed-in safety and decontamination shower will be undertaken by its German partner, FSP Tech.
According to PPS general manager and head of the company's r&d programme, Jacey Venables, the new range is the result of carefully listening to users: “In this range what we were looking for were the blank spots and the weaknesses which are present in any design,” he said.
The entire FSP Tech range is now made of stainless steel as standard.
The emphasis of the FSP Tech/PPS redesign has been on a return to traditional materials. Brass instead of plastic is being used for valves and pipe work. “The problem with plastics” says Venables, “particularly when they are used in an industrial situation is that they degrade and become friable very quickly. You simply don't have that problem with traditional materials.”
Improving water quality was another challenge addressed by FSP Tech, who engineered an outlet hole into the tank bottom in order to realise a complete water change.
