Trade fair success with high-speed fire protection door

As a medium-sized company, gte Brandschutz AG is active in the field of preventive fire protection. It specializes in conveyor system fire protection and the development of special fire protection and control technology solutions.

In the event of a fire, conveyor system closures (FAA) separate two rooms or halls from each other in terms of fire protection. An FAA also includes a corresponding hold-open system, which consists of a safe energy supply, a hold-open device and fire detection elements. The hold-open system monitors the operating status and triggers the system in the event of a fault. This year, gte was represented at LogiMAT for the first time and presented an FAA with a high-speed drive and a telescopic closure. The high-speed drive in particular attracted a lot of attention and attracted many visitors to the stand.

Reduction of energy loss

In most warehouses where conveyor system closures (FAA) are installed, there are additional textile high-speed doors in front of the FAA in order to close after each conveyed item. Energy loss due to temperature differences from neighboring halls, air draughts in sensitive ambient conditions or even unpleasant odors are avoided. The FAA itself remains open and is only closed in a controlled manner at the prescribed maintenance intervals or firmly closed in the event of a malfunction.

High-speed fire doors are ideally suited for permanent use in warehouses.

The high-speed fire protection door replaces the textile high-speed door, as it is able to close after each conveyed material. Technically, the high-speed fire door differs only slightly from a normal FAA. It has similar performance criteria, but unlike the normal FAA, it has a special high-speed drive. With a minimum number of 1,000,000 closing cycles, it is suitable for permanent use in warehouses with continuous and interrupted conveyor technology. The use of a high-speed fire door eliminates the need for an additional door, thus saving on acquisition costs, space requirements and maintenance costs. An additional control system is also avoided and does not have to be integrated into the operator's internal control system.

The high-speed fire protection door is operated in conveyor mode at a speed of 0.4 m/s in accordance with the applicable fire protection regulations of the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt, Berlin). Wall openings with a maximum dimension of 2.5 x 4 m are sealed off. The closing direction is flexible and can be from above (vertical) or from the side (horizontal).
