    Aerosol-Löschgenerator

    Aerosol fire-extinguishing generator: The optional integrated aerosol extinguishing generator activates automatically in the event of a critical rise in temperature or a fire. The extinguishing aerosol fills the interior in a matter of seconds, effectively suppressing the flames and preventing the fire from spreading to neighbouring batteries

    Power strip: The power strip installed in the cabinet enables the organised and safe charging of several lithium-ion batteries at the same time. It ensures a neat power supply directly to the storage levels

    Integrated floor pan: An integrated drip tray ensures that, in the event of damage to the cells, no environmentally hazardous liquids can escape uncontrollably. This ensures that harmful substances are reliably contained within the cabinet

    Control unit with smoke detection and visual status indicator: If a fire is detected inside the cabinet, the power supply and the integrated ventilation system are switched off completely. A clearly visible indicator allows you to see the current operating status (e.g. normal operation, fault or alarm) at a glance at any time, without having to open the cabinet.

    Can be accessed with a pallet truck: Thanks to its 100 mm high, wheelchair-accessible plinth, the fireproof cabinet can be transported using a pallet truck or forklift truck. The plinth panel can be removed without tools

    Integrated ventilation: To effectively prevent dangerous heat build-up during charging in normal operation, an integrated ventilation system ensures constant air circulation. In the event of a fire, the integrated ventilation system is switched off completely

    Automatic door closer: An automatic door-closing mechanism ensures that the cabinet doors do not remain open accidentally during day-to-day use. In the event of a fire, the doors also lock automatically, thereby immediately activating the fire protection function of the 90-minute enclosure without the need for manual intervention

    Safe Pro Battery Cabinet: GS-certified fire protection for battery storage

    Lithium-ion batteries have become an integral part of our everyday lives. Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are being used in an ever-increasing number of products and devices, not only in the private sector but also, in particular, in trades and industrial settings, such as in a wide range of power tools or mobile machinery. However, these high-performance rechargeable batteries pose significant risks if handled or stored incorrectly. A technical fault, mechanical damage or overcharging can lead to an uncontrolled fire that is very difficult to extinguish. There is still no valid legislation governing the storage of lithium-ion batteries (rechargeable batteries). Nevertheless, Li-ion rechargeable batteries should be treated as hazardous substances. Due to this high risk potential, the utmost care must be taken to ensure maximum safety when storing and charging lithium-ion batteries..

    Protection objectives of the Safe Pro battery cabinet

    The Safe Pro battery cabinet from LaCont offers maximum security for the active and passive storage of lithium-ion batteries. Wherever batteries are charged or stored in professional and commercial settings, standard fire protection is often no longer sufficient. This is precisely where the Pro model comes in, featuring the GS mark was awarded and a successful live-fire test has demonstrated. The cabinet was designed to meet all essential protection objectives in the event of an emergency:

    • Protection of stored goods against fire from outside
    • Protection against the spread of smoke and fire in the event of a fire inside the cabinet
    • Minimising the risk to people from the possible release of gases that burn explosively or are toxic from the cabinet
    • Signalling of critical conditions inside the safety cabinet (for people in the danger zone and emergency services) and, where applicable, control of the existing fire protection systems

    Certified battery charging cabinet: Pro model with 90 minutes’ fire protection

    The Safe Pro cabinet model offers certified fire protection to the highest standards and bears the recognised GS mark (Certified Safety). With its high Fire resistance of 90 minutes the system ensures maximum protection in an emergency.

    Should an uncontrollable chain reaction or a fire occur inside a battery cell, the risk is contained within the battery cabinet thanks to its high fire resistance. In the event of an emergency, the system also automatically cuts off the power supply and ventilation to completely stop any further flow of energy.

    The Safe Pro battery cabinet therefore offers you reliable protection in both respects. It effectively prevents flames from spreading to the surrounding area, thereby avoiding additional, unpredictable risks to your business. With this safety system, the GS-certified Pro model provides enhanced fire protection and safeguards your business and your staff in the event of an emergency.
