EVOS™ Ci was designed from the ground up to meet our customers’ concrete needs. We talked extensively to users to establish priorities and identify where current valve designs offer scope for improvement. In particular, our customers asked for the following:
- Clear and live indication of how much gas is in the cylinder without having to attach a regulator
- 300-bar handling capability for longer-lasting cylinders (i.e. more gas)
- Improved guard around the top to improve all aspects of user safety
- A valve that makes it easy to see if the cylinder is open or closed
- Improved design, making the valve easier to open and close
- Improved handling and lifting of the cylinder
Our designers took this valuable feedback and – working with a renowned industrial design agency – combined it with lessons learnt from current models to create an innovative design that answers all of these and other needs.
