When sourcing a gas monitor, the first thing a customer always encounters is the vast array of instruments and manufacturers. In recent years, the choice has increased with the development of smaller, lighter models featuring larger screens, simpler functions and a greater array of sensors.
Instrument features are not the only consideration that should be taken into account, reliability, cost of ownership and functionality in arduous environments should always be at the top of the list of considerations when choosing a safety related product.
A range of instruments that can meet these considerations and more, are from the UK based manufacturer, Crowcon.
Crowcon Detection Instruments are specialises in developing toxic gas detection equipment. With over 40 years experience, Crowcon has developed a range of gas detection instruments that are extremely reliable and provides a low cost of ownership. We know, their gas monitors have been operating within our hire fleet for over 15 years.
Under the guidance of their parent company, Halam PLC, Crowcon is able to call upon extensive resources for the development of market leading products. Based in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, the company has grown to encompass sales and support centres worldwide with major hubs in North America, Netherlands, Singapore, India and China. 60% of sales are now outside the United Kingdom.
Crowcon’s range is comprehensive from small single sensors to industrial fixed systems. Their pioneering attitude has enabled them to develop innovative products, like their area gas monitors, the Detective+ allowing a large site to be monitored. Or my favourite, the new Crowcon Gas-Pro which can monitor up to 5 separate gases.
So why are they dependable?
Crowcon design their instruments for functionality, reliability and robustness above all.
Major investments has been undertaken to ensure the design team understand customer requirements. Product managers play a lead role in instrument development. They investigate core markets, keeping in touch with customer and application requirements. This ensures that Crowcon instruments meet industrial demands and ensures their instruments run at optimum performance.
When developing the latest personnel gas detection instrument for confined space applications, the develop team underwent confined space courses to understand application demands. This essential training help guide the development of the new Crowcon Gas-Pro gas monitor.
Specification of sensors is no different. The latest range of sensors has been tested to ensure that they can perform in the field. Dual sourcing enables Crowcon to employ several sensors
Increased Warranty
Crowcon’s philosophy is to look to the future. Advances made in the improvement in reliability have allowed the company to offer extended warranty on many of their products. The extended 2 and 3 year warranty reduces cost of ownership further and increase the life expectancy of gas detection instruments.
