Whether you are filling SCBA, SCUBA or even Oxygen cylinders our stationary and mobile containment fill stations are designed to provide for a safe and efficient filling environment during your most arduous circumstances. Low loading heights coupled with a double walled, steel fill chamber construction give operators peace of mind when refilling cylinders. Search the fill stations below to find one that is right for your needs.

Breathing air storage cylinders allow for fast and efficient refilling of SCBA/SCUBA cylinders without the use of a compressor. Carbon Monoxide & Moisture Monitors ensure absolute safety from carbon monoxide and moisture contamination in your breathing air, something that can't be sacrificed. The Mako Oil-Water Separator is a reliable method for processing compressor condensate. Mako purification systems and filters ensure clean, Grade E breathing air that meet or exceed current NFPA, OSHA, CGA, Canadian and worldwide air standards.

UAPC manufactures a range of fully customizable mobile air trailers for fire and emergency service organizations. All of our equipment is First Response Emergency Certified and provide features that include a quiet room and easy portability of the trailer. Our engineers can assist you with the design to match your specific needs.

Our unique quiet room design separates the engine compartment from the bottle filling station. This provides a safe, comfortable environment for the user. Power Tongue Jack, Ramp Door, Awning & Removable Lights are available options.

Universal Air & Gas Products Corporation (UAPC) provides a comprehensive line of standard breathing air compressor system products or custom-built designs. The two principle classifications of breathing air products are Low Pressure and High Pressure Breathing Air Compressors.

UAPCs application engineers can assist you in determining the best system design for your application. Please email, fax or call in your application for discussion and recommendation. We can accommodate outdoor, low ambient, off-shore, marine or hazardous location design requirements when required.

Low Pressure Breathing Air Compressors

Low Pressure Breathing Air SystemsLow pressure systems provide OSHA, CGA and NFPA recognized, Grade-D or better quality breathing air at a pressure ranging from 60 to 200 PSIG. (PSIG means pounds per square inch measured on gauge, where the gauge reads zero at normal atmospheric pressure.) Fixed manifold systems and flexible hoses are used to carry the cleaned and purified compressed air to the breather(s).

Each breather must wear a Type-C breathing apparatus, which regulates the flow of compressed air through a mask, hood or suit. The amount of airflow per person, measured in SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet Per Minute) varies with the style and manufacturer of the Type-C delivery apparatus. Low pressure breathing air systems are typically employed in situations where the breather will require a continuous supply of air on a constant basis. The breather must be able to accommodate the limitations to movement that result from the compressed air feed line he is attached to.

Industrial applications for breathing air typically use low pressure supply for contaminated work station environments. Medical applications supply low pressure breathing air to patients. Low pressure breathing air is much less expensive to use and maintain, when compared with high pressure alternatives, per SCFM delivered

High Pressure Breathing Air Compressors

High Pressure Breathing Air SystemsHigh pressure breathing air compressors are used primarily for recharging storage banks of compressed breathing air. These storage banks are either ASME or DOT cylinders typically designed to hold 5,000 to 6,000 psig. From these storage vessels, various sizes and styles of SCBA or SCUBA tanks are recharged with Grade-E breathing air.

The high pressure storage of the compressed air allow the breather to have completely free mobility with only the burden of the high pressure storage tank on his back. These tanks have a limited time frame of usage between refills, typically less than 45 minutes.

A complete breathing air system will include the high pressure compressor system with associated controls and filtration devices, followed by a large capacity storage system and finally a containment fill station. The containment fill station is a system designed to safely hold and fill from storage cylinders the SCBA or SCUBA tank(s) to maximum pressure. A containment fill station is designed to safely contain an accidental explosion of an SCBA or SCUBA tank, should it rupture during refill.

Universal Air & Gas Products Corporation (UAPC) provides a comprehensive line of standard medical, pharmaceutical or industrial compressed air, vacuum & blower system products. Standard built per NFPA-99 or custom-built designs are available. These Industries demands a high level of reliability in the equipment they use & UAPC has the knowledge & equipment to meet these requirements.

We have years of experience in the design & manufacture of medical air, vacuum & blower systems; and can accommodate a wide range of custom design solutions to meet any & all applications required. Our standard line of reliable mechanical vacuum pumps produce vacuum as low as 29.9"Hg (0.5Torr) & our combination of positive displacement blower / vacuum pump systems as low as 0.2 microns. Compressor systems vary in pressure from 5 psig to 6000 psig. Customized options & systems are available.

Our innovative scroll technology is completely oil-less, extremely quiet, energy efficient, and easy to maintain. The sound enclosure cabinet decreases noise levels even further, allowing the compressor system to be installed right at the point of use. The small footprint also helps maximize available floor space.

We are pleased to announce that Poxerex has updated their 2-5 HP Open Scroll Medical Systems to combine their reliable, energy efficient technology with new improvements to save space and provide ease-of-maintenance. The newly redesigned and upgraded space-saving scroll compressors feature the smallest available footprint on the market, allowing for flexibility of hospital design and ease of installation. Powerex® innovative scroll technology is completely oil-less, extremely quiet, and energy efficient.

Our reciprocating piston systems feature self-lubricating composite piston technology which increases ring life and reduces temperature, providing reliability for years to come. The dual cooling pistons reduce operating temperatures, while the corrosion-resistant components and coatings extend ring and valve life.

The Powerex® instrument air package is designed to provide instrument air for hospitals and medical institutes. This system meets NFPA99 requirements for Instrument Air.

Our Powerex® Kobelco KNW® medical series leverage an oil-free, risk free rotary screw design in a sound enclosure cabinet in order to minimize noise and system footprint. These medical packages are preferred by hospitals and laboratories worldwide.
