Safety Cabinets

The new age has brought new technologies that have enabled decentralized storage of chemicals. Instead of the old centralized storage system in purpose-built and equipped facilities, it is now possible to store chemicals and other hazardous substances in a safe way, at the place of use.

Apart from daily needs (one open bottle), larger quantities of hazardous materials must be stored in a way that is safe for employees and property. This means that the protection of health and facilities must be ensured by preventing the possibility of fire, eliminating the inhalation of hazardous substances and protecting property from the effects of hazardous substances.

asecos GmbH, the world’s leading manufacturer of safety cabinets, with a large number of models, dimensions and equipment, allows each user to find a solution in accordance with their needs and legislation.

Safety cabinet for acids and alkalis
Aggressive, non-flammable liquids

Acids and Alkalis

Secure storage of aggressive liquids in accordance with regulations (not for the storage of flammable liquids).

Robust construction and longevity: cabinet body made of powder-coated sheet steel, safety elements assembled outside the storage compartment for increased protection against corrosion. Two in one: two hermetically separated storage compartments allow the isolated storage of acids and bases in one cabinet. No unauthorised use: doors lockable with profile cylinder (integration into an existing locking system possible). Easy alignment: adjusting aids to compensate for uneven floors.

  • DIN EN 16121/16122 conformity
  • GS certified
Combi storage safety cabinet
Flammable and aggressive substances in one cabinet

Combi Storage

The left compartments of the cabinets are used for the safe, passive storage of flammable liquids in work rooms in accordance with applicable national regulations and are tested, certified and marked in accordance with the requirements of EN 14470-1. The right compartments are used for the separate storage of aggressive, non-flammable hazardous substances (e.g. acids and alkalis). Model versions MH/MV: cabinet interior with a vertical, or a vertical and horizontal partition, enabling the separate storage of hazardous substances in two or four compartments.

Please note: the separate storage of different hazardous substances in the safety cabinet takes place without taking into account other fire protection requirements.

  • Fire resistance 90 minutes
  • Type tested in accordance with EN 14470-1
  • DIN EN 16121/16122 conformity
  • GS certified

Safety cabinet for lithium-ion batteries
3-stage alarm and active fire suppression

Li-ion Battery Storage and Charging

Safety storage cabinets for lithium-ion batteries, with extended protection for the professional handling of lithium-ion batteries, including a 3-stage alarm and an active fire suppression system. During active storage, lithium-ion batteries or battery packs are charged or partially discharged (60–70%) in the cabinet using a charger.

Hazards reliably identified: with the LED display and visual/audible alarms, developing fires can be recognised quickly without opening the cabinet doors. Insulated shelves, propagation-tested for safety at every storage level: in the event of a battery fire, spread to other batteries is prevented. Smoke detectors and a temperature sensor detect even incipient fires and can quickly transmit alarms to the building control system. The ventilation attachment prevents heat build-up while the batteries are charging.

  • DIN EN 14470-1: 90 min fire resistance, outside to inside (type 90)
  • VDMA 24994: fire resistance in thermal runaway, real fire test
  • DIN EN 1363-1: 90 min fire resistance, inside to outside
  • CE compliant
