LEADER Develops BATfan for Positive Pressure Applications

Fire equipment: LEADER Develops BATfan for Positive Pressure Applications

LEADER recently developed the BATfan, a portable battery fan for positive pressure ventilation (PPV) operations.

BATfan is powerful and lightweight for completely self-contained operation, and allows fast implementation and maximum flexibility during response. It also requires little storage space.

Two versions are available:

  • BATfan 20-minute runtime with a total weight of 23.5 kg
  • BATfan 45-minute with 27.5 kg.

They also run on mains electricity if necessary.

Compact and mobile, it folds up and stows easily in vehicle trunk (2 BATfan occupy the space of one conventional fan)!                                                            

It is quicker to set up than conventional fans as there is no time wasted searching for a power socket!

BATfan is multi-functional equipment for PPV attack, PPV combined ventilation, etc.
