Dräger breathing apparatus BG 160A for the mine rescue team

Dräger celebrated the 100th anniversary of its first breathing apparatus with closed breathing loop in 2004. The company from Lübeck made a significant contribution to the safety of miners underground with this technology.
The mining gas protection device model 160 A had a complete enclosure, a horizontal alkali cartridge and oil reservoir, a constant and automatic lung oil metering (1.5l/min) and a warning signal. Due to its low weight and transparency, the breathing protection developed from 1934 was a standard device for miners for many years and was used as basic technology for additional follow-up Dräger models. The protective devices from Dräger were also used in Saarland mining operations.
