Essex is pleased to announce our recent partnership with HIFraser.

For over 60 years, HIFraser has specialized in sea, land, and air environments, leveraging their global OEM partner network. HIFraser provides many services, including engineer design, product, manufacture, maintenance, and repair services. Their extensive technical team consists of qualified engineers and fitting technicians in electrical, mechanical, chilled water, hydraulic, pneumatic, instrumentation, and waste treatment fields.

HIFraser is located in Australia, with five facilities, 22,604 square feet of warehouse space, and over 100 employees. We are excited to move forward together with our expanded liquid oxygen systems.

Essex Industries has expanded its family of Oxygen Equipment with a new line of Wall Outlets which include Oxygen Gas, Medical Air, and a Vacuum Outlet.

The company utilized feedback from Operators worldwide to design a more rugged, user-friendly, and customizable product, with several fitting options available. EMS Operators can now select the correct outlet fitting at the time of order, eliminating the need for fitting adapters. Also, with Essex’ Integrated Flow Control technology, there’s no need for separate flowmeter devices.

The Oxygen Gas Wall Outlet provides safe delivery of supplemental oxygen and accurate prescribed flow rates to patients in multiple healthcare settings, such as hospitals, ground ambulances, rotor, and fixed-wing air ambulances.  Essex Oxygen Gas Wall Outlets work with both High-Pressure Oxygen and Liquid Oxygen (LOX). LOX is a highly efficient method of oxygen storage and delivery, becoming more common in air ambulances. The larger quantities of oxygen eliminate the need to refill between flights allowing EMS operators to maintain mission tempo and reduce downtime between missions. They carry more oxygen, fly longer, and accept more missions.

Essex Industries was awarded an MRO contract from the US Navy for refurbishment of their 10 Liter Liquid Oxygen Converters used to support USN/USMC F-18 Hornet Fighter Operations.

Essex provides the US Navy with 10 Liter LOX Converters, 50 Gallon LOX Carts, 500 Gallon LOX Trailers and components. Essex entered the cryogenics market in 1963. Essex LOX Converters are used on many of the Department of Defense aircraft, including the A-7, A-10, F-4, F-5, F-15, F-16, F-18, F-111, F-117, T-2, T-38, A-6, EA-6B, E-2C, S3, C-5, C-17, C-130, C-141, KC-135, HC-130 and the B-52 aircraft.

Essex has released a new training video on 7 Liter and 10 Liter Liquid Oxygen Converters. The video reviews common troubleshooting procedures so that customers can address basic issues in the field instead of returning the units to Essex.

Essex Industries has received an order from the United States Air Force for 500 Gallon LOX Trailers.  Shipment of the 32 trailers is due to begin in August and run through February of 2018.  The USAF will deploy most of these units at domestic bases, as well as US bases in Oman, Japan, South Korea and Italy.

The Essex 500 Gallon LOX Trailer is a mobile liquid oxygen storage tank assembly.  Designed for the transport and storage of LOX at airbases and military installations, the 500 Gallon LOX Trailer provides a logistics solution for flight line LOX requirements.

The 500 Gallon LOX Trailer can be used with all Essex LOX converters, BMOS, BMOS-FS, MMOS, NPTLOX, PTLOX and 50 Gallon LOX Carts.  A 500 Gallon LIN Trailer for the transport and storage of liquid nitrogen is also available.

Both 500 Gallon Trailers are qualified to Air Force PD13WRGRVEA05 and environmentally tested to MIL-STD-810.

The Essex ECAT Contract covers a wide range of Liquid Oxygen (LOX) medical life support equipment including the OGL, NPTLOX, PTLOX, MMOS, BMOS, BMOS-Filling Station, Purge Kit, Filling Kit and other related parts and accessories.

The ECAT Contract is an IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) government contracting vehicle used by all branches of the Department of Defense to procure medical equipment at a pre-negotiated price.

Essex is pleased to announce that they have received FDA 510(k) Clearance on the Oxygen Generator and Liquefier (OGL).  This clearance covers the use of the OGL in military and commercial applications to produce and transfer liquid oxygen (LOX) into portable systems, such as the Essex BMOS (Backpack Medical Oxygen System), MMOS (Mounted Medical Oxygen System) and NPTLOX (Next Generation Portable Therapeutic Liquid Oxygen System). These portable systems are then used to provide supplemental oxygen for patients during transport.

The Essex OGL is designed to liquefy, store and fill LOX equipment. The system generates 1 liquid liter of 93% USP oxygen per hour, with an onboard LOX storage capacity of 40 liters. The OGL has a user-friendly operator interface and runs on standard 240 VAC. Designed for reliability in harsh conditions, the OGL is portable using a fork lift or pallet transport.

The FDA 510(k) Clearance Number for the Essex OGL is K131990.
