High-pressure inflatable structures
NIXUS engineers focus on high-pressure inflatable structures and their applications for tents, hangars and expandable container shelters. Our R&D team is committed to the continuous development and improvement of our products, combining maximum user comfort with simplicity of service.
High-pressure inflatable NIXUS products are based on the unique multi-tube system Rigid Inflatable Beam Structure (RIBS) system.
Patented multi-tube RIBS system
The RIBS system combines the benefits of a rigid and inflatable structure. It is extremely weather resistant as a truss frame but is quick to setup and easy to transport.
RIBS is the first inflatable structure using a multiplied high-pressure tube system. The tubes are tied with each other to create a rigid frame assembly.
Multi-tube RIBS system advantages
The multi-tube RIBS system offers all the advantages of a high-pressure structure with the additional advantage of a high load (see image below).
Due to its high level of stability it is recommended as a construction element of large structures. RIBS brings new possibilities for field applications such as maintenance hangars or roofing elements of the expandable container shelter (ECOS). The RIBS system is an industrial design protected solution of ZEPELIN.
Our portfolio comprises:
- High-pressure pneumatic tents
- Low-pressure pneumatic tents
- Expandable container shelters
- Solid structure tents
- Rescue equipment and accessories
