Masterline Inc. are proud to service this global community, and feel it is their duty to help protect the lives of those that protect others.

Masterline's mission is to continue their tradition of providing safe and reliable equipment along with the excellent customer support that follow.

A gas booster is a device which increases the gas pressure from a low-pressure inlet source to a high-pressure outlet destination (such as an SCBA).  Masterline Boosters can be used in numerous applications.  Anywhere high-pressure gas is needed, there is a potential need for a booster pump.

The fire fighting and rescue industries are shifting to smaller SCBA's to reduce the overall weight of the equipment carried by fire fighters and rescue workers.  Therefore, it is possible to use physically smaller cylinders and fill them to higher pressures.  To fully utilize the new cylinders, a booster in combination with a cascade system, will ensure complete fills and eliminates the need for an expensive compressor that is capable of the high pressure requirements of the new cylinders.

Because their boosters are capable of boosting many types of gas, including pure oxygen, the applications are not limited by high purity requirements.  A few examples of Masterline's current customer base is:

• Mine Rescue
• Fire/EMS
• HAZMAT
• Military
• HALO 
• Diving
