Frequently Asked Questions — Dräger Safety Solutions

Are you an authorized Dräger distributor in India?

Yes. Shrinivas Enterprises is an authorized Dräger distributor supplying X-plore PAPR, X-am portable gas detectors, and fixed IR gas detection systems across Central India.

What gases can the Dräger X-am 2800 detect?

The X-am 2800 simultaneously detects up to 4 gases including O2, LEL (combustibles), CO, and H2S — the four gases required for confined space entry permits. It supports 40+ interchangeable sensor combinations.

How often should portable gas detectors be calibrated?

Dräger recommends bump testing before each use and full calibration every 6 months. We offer calibration and Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for all Dräger instruments at our Indore service centre.

What is the difference between X-plore 8300 and X-plore 8500 PAPR?

The X-plore 8300 suits standard industrial use at 160 L/min. The X-plore 8500 offers enhanced airflow control and higher protection — preferred for pharmaceutical API suites and chemical handling.

Do you offer demo units for site trials?

Yes. We offer demo units for X-am gas detectors and X-plore PAPR systems for qualified site trials. Contact us with your application details and we will arrange an on-site demonstration.
