The Escape Chute
The Escape Chute is the fastest
and most efficient escape system on the market. When permanently
installed, the escape chute is ready to use within a few seconds from
release. It enables as many as 30 people a minute to be evacuated from a
building in fire.
Three-way Protection
The escape chute consists of three layers. Outer layer is made of fireproof glass fiber material which does not ignite even
when exposed to open flame. The intermediate layer is of an elastic material
which helps to regulate the speed at which the escapee passes down the chute.
The inner, supporting, layer is made from DuPont's Kevlar fiber, which has ten
times the tensile strength of steel. Its coefficient of friction is so low that
no injuries are caused by friction.
Special Applications
The escape chute provides a unique solution to
the problems of evacuating in difficult conditions. It takes up very little
space is thus the only possible means of constructing emergency exits in old
buildings where space is often short. It can also be installed unobtrusively in
buildings of historic interest, without compromising on safety.
Portable Installations
The Escape Chute is also adaptable for
use with mobile rescue units, such as fire brigades' ladder trucks and skylifts.
The portable units can either be ready mounted or in a cassette which is ready
for use when required.
Unlimited Installation
Possibilities
The innumerable installation alternatives
guarantee that the escape chute is suitable for buildings of any kind. It can be
installed permanently either inside or outside of the building.
The Escape Chute
Meets All Demands
The Escape chute is a complete escape
system. It is indisputably the fastest way to save lives, it is always ready for
use - and it protects the user as he escapes.
The escape chute can be installed permanently in
all buildings or in mobile rescue units. It can be used successfully without any
previous practice, and for evacuating the old and the infirm. In financial
terms, the escape chute is often the most economical way of providing a safe
escape route.
