works! Click here to play the animated demo
The Ingstrom 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
ProtectionThe escape chute
consists of three layers. The 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
ApplicationsThe 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. |
Unlimited
Installation PossibilitiesThe
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. |
Portable
InstallationsThe Ingstrom
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. |
The Escape Chute Meets All Demands The Ingstrom 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. |
