Sliding Balancer Track (SBT)
Pneumatic Exhaust Removal System

The HazVent SBT can be installed in each bay for one vehicle or two vehicles parked in tandem. It provides door-to-door exhaust capture in firehouses with drive-thru bays. It is equipped with an auto-start device that activates the exhaust fan before the engine starts.

The balancer controls the cable that holds the hose in position. It is connected to a dual-glide trolley that moves inside the overhead track. When the alarm sounds and the vehicle moves forward, the trolley glides effortlessly inside the track.

At the end of travel, the uncoupling valve automatically releases the air from the nozzle, allowing for a smooth uncoupling. Returning to the fire station, the flexible hose with the pneumatic nozzle is reconnected to the apparatus tailpipe. The apparatus then moves into the station and parks.

Best Airflow Available

Most apparatus tailpipes are 5 inches in diameter. HazVent systems use compatible 5-inch hoses, which will not restrict airflow the way 4-inch hoses do. Additionally, HazVent's die-stamped lifting elbow allows greater airflow than old-style rubber saddles.

HazVent Fans

HazVent fans are designed solely for exhaust removal and have continuously welded housings to eliminate "rust run." Spark-resistant, curved blades deliver highest efficiency, stability and quiet performance.
