About BreatheSafe

In 2021, we developed a world-first: a patented cabin air monitoring and control system that real-time monitors cabin pressure, CO₂, and PM (Particulate Matter) in the breathing zone, with multiple sensor options available. We believe true zero exposure can only be achieved by measuring and reducing particulate matter inside the cabin.

In 2020, with the release of ISO 23875 and after nearly a decade of service, we upgraded our trusted INPRESS CPM. Drawing on customer feedback and operational insights, we developed the InPress, introducing new features such as CO₂ monitoring and the innovative event log, designed so operators can verify system performance during previous shifts.

In 2018, using data from our INPRESS CPM and NIOSH studies, we identified the need to better manage heavier contaminants brought into cabins by operators. Unable to find a rigid 24V DC HEPA vacuum, we developed and released the first of our VacSafe range — a 24V DC brushless HEPA-grade vacuum. We have since expanded the range to include 240V AC and 110V AC models.

To maintain clean air supply inside the cabin without compromising operator comfort, we developed volume control for our high-capacity units. Using our VSD brushless motor, we created the SBS controller to automatically regulate airflow.

After years of developing customised HVAC systems and cabin air pressurisers, both HEPA and non-HEPA, we took the leap to create our first custom-designed injection moulded air purifier. Drawing on our experience, we developed the TL unit, which still today offers the highest air volume and pressure generation in its size range anywhere in the world.

After trials with an OEM customer in central Queensland, we identified the need for Dual HEPA filtration to achieve zero exposure, filtering both fresh and return air. In 2014, we began supplying HEPA upgrade kits for OEM HVAC units, a key step toward meeting ISO 23875 standards.

In 2012, we developed our second world-first: a digital cabin pressure monitor with motor speed control to maintain pre-set cabin pressure. This breakthrough reduced system costs, extended filter life, lowered HVAC load, decreased cabin noise, and marked a major leap in pressurisation control and data recording.

From 2009 to 2011, we expanded into heavy mining and developed a brushless motor to withstand high-hour operations. Along with our new crossflow motor and blade design, this innovation greatly improved system reliability and reduced lifetime costs.

Recognising the critical importance of maintaining positive cabin pressure throughout a machine’s operation, we developed and released our own digital Cabin Pressure Monitor (CPM). At the time, the industry relied on analogue gauges that were prone to failure and offered no alarm system to warn of pressure loss.

In 2009, we made a significant investment in hardware, software, and training to bring our sheet metal design capabilities in-house. Today, our mechanical design department has grown to a dedicated team of five, reflecting our commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and supporting our people.

From custom air conditioning at Kev Dalton to heavy-duty systems at TRACS, and now at BreatheSafe, we’ve always focused on developing the best air conditioning and purification systems. Our Dual HEPA system now leads the way in cutting HVAC maintenance costs.
