V-LINE safety storage cabinets
FX-LINE – Multifunctional recirculating air filter storage cabinets
FlameFlex recirculating air filter storage cabinets from FX-LINE are the perfect solution for safe and fire-resistant routine storage of flammable liquids and other hazardous substances in one cabinet. Vapours that are harmful to health are extracted and filtered at the same time. FX-LINE technology is based upon our proven Q-LINE safety storage cabinets with a robust, durable cabinet body and up to 90 minutes fire resistance (type 90), type-tested according to DIN EN 14470-1, GS tested.
These safety storage cabinets with recirculating air filter technology provide safety for all personnel through permanent, monitored technical ventilation:
- Prevention of epotentially explosive conditions as well as extraction and filtering of hazardous vapours
- Electronic monitoring of filter saturation by solvent vapours (hydrocarbons), air exchange rate (exhaust air volume), service intervals, and scheduling for manual filter saturation control
Further advantages of the FX-LINE:
- Elimination of EX zones around the cabinet (when flammable liquids are stored)
- No expensive wall openings and long exhaust ducts
- Maximum flexibility in the choice of location – a plug-in solution
The FX-LINE is available in different cabinet configurations and interiors:
- The type-tested bottom collecting sump (TÜV/StawaR) can also be used as an additional storage level in conjunction with perforated insert for even higher storage capacity, ideal for storing small containers
- Height-adjustable shelves in various designs
- Optional dividing wall – increases your options for individual interior design of the cabinet
- Metal-free interior for storing aggressive hazardous substances
FX-LINE recirculating air filter safety storage cabinets
ION-LINE Safety storage cabinets for the safe, active and passive storage of lithium-ion batteries
Safe storage of lithium batteries: as the world's leading manufacturer of safety cabinets, asecos has developed special fire-resistant storage cabinets for medium powered lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries can be safely stored (passive storage) and, depending on the model, also charged (active storage) in these safety cabinets without permanent supervision.
In the event of an external fire, the lithium-ion batteries stored in the safety cabinets are protected against overheating for a period of 90 minutes. This prevents the lithium-ion batteries stored in the cabinet from spontaneously igniting, becoming unstable or exploding.
Even in case of a fire coming from the inside, fire resistance of more than 90 minutes is demonstrably achieved. Depending on the model, the safety cabinets are additionally equipped with an automatic aerosol fire-extinguishing system and smoke/temperature sensors. That means: Perfect protection even during unattended loading.
ION-LINE
- Type 90 Safety storage cabinets according to EN 14470-1 and EN 1363-1.
- In accordance with TRGS 510, the cabinets are classified as a storage section – the specifications of VdS 3103:2016-05 are thus met.
- Doors lockable with cylinder lock (locking system compatible) and locking state indicator (red/green).
- Easy transport: integrated transport base for internal transportation, base cover available as an option.
- Easy alignment: adjusting aids to compensate for uneven floor.
Robust construction and longevity:
Triple hinged door, safety elements assembled outside the storage compartement for increased protection against corrosion, scratch- and impact-resistant surface
Easy handling with comfort:
Smooth doors with permanent self-closing function and oil-dampened door closer. Open doors with a minimum amount of force.
Smoke detector and temperature sensor:
If the smoke detector detects incipient smoke in the interior of the cabinet, alarm level 1 is triggered. If the temperature sensor measures an increase in the internal temperature, the electronic control system triggers:
- at over 50° C a warning message to the central control centre,
- at over 70° C (and in case of simultaneously activated smoke detector) alarm level 2.
Optical and acoustic signalling (depending on the model):
Function indicator (green LED) and 2-stage warning light (red LED): The warning light is activated and lit; either solid or flashing depending on the alarm level. The green function indicator goes out.
2-stage acoustic alarm signal: Alarm is triggered; depending on the alarm level, with slow/medium/fast tone interval.
Electronic control:
Alarm forwarding: The electronic control incl. potential-free switching contact offers the possibility of connection to building control technology (for models BATTERY STORE PRO and BATTERY CHARGE).
In addition for model BATTERY CHARGE: The electronic control switches off the ventilation (at alarm stage 2) and electrical supply to the power strips is switched off.
Fire suppression device:
The high-quality fire suppression system in the cabinet interior is automatically triggered in case of fire (alarm level 2), when the temperature sensor registers an internal temperature greater than 70° C in addition to the already activated smoke detector (alarm level 1).
Ventilation:
For the model BATTERY CHARGE: Ventilation to avoid heat build-up in the interior.
Power strip:
Each storage level is equipped with a high-quality power strip including metal housing and 10 protective charging sockets. The power strips are pre-mounted on the cabinet rear panel ready for use.
Tested bottom collecting sump:
The bottom collecting sump (powder-coated steel sheet) has been tested according to StawaR and is used to absorb any leakage of burning batteries.
Technical ventilation of safety storage cabinets
Hazardous materials create harmful vapours which need to be captured at their release and production point. Otherwise hazardous area zones will occur and increase the risk of explosive atmospheres. Therefore when storing hazardous materials in safety storage cabinets, the technical ventilation will have to be considered: our tested and certified ventilation systems and modules guarantee compliance with TRGS 510 (Annexe 3) by eliminating all the emerging hazardous materials - creating a healthy and safe working environment for your employees.
The recirculating air filter system UFA.20.30 with integrated electronic exhaust air monitoring and filter unit allows the flexible, cost- and energy-saving installation and ventilation of your safety storage cabinets – regardless of whether it is a tall or under bench cabinet. A connection to the exhaust fan is not required.
Extraction units and modules capture escaping vapours and gases safely - easy and quick installation, ready to plug-in. Available for the installation on top of the cabinet or for wall mounting, with or without extraction air monitoring.
