SubscribeAIGIS Blast Protection launches New Hand Baggage Containment Unit with Airports
Aigis is unveiling the latest addition to its range of bomb isolation units - The IU1200. This highly practical and user-friendly Hand Baggage unit is joining its well-established big brother, the Hold Baggage Isolation Unit 2000.
Aigis Isolation Units are used when a suspect baggage is found and enable airports too quickly and easily insert the item into the IU and have it removed to a secure location where the EOD can deal with the package, thus leaving the Airport to continue operating.
Aigis units are exceptionally thoroughly tested, so that even in the event of a blast being near the lowest and inner sides of their containers, staff and passengers close by can avoid injury.
All Aigis containers use the unique TABREshield technology that absorbs explosive blast. This technology also allows Aigis to provide external and internal building protection, including sensitive terminal infrastructure and blast protected rooms for suspect bombers and baggage reconciliation.
