Fire Curtains
Automated systems for compartmentalisation of smoke and fire
Fire curtains are mobile textile systems for compartmentalising and sectorising in case of fire. They are automated systems designed to guarantee integrity, isolation and low radiation in any case, as well as the non-penetration of smoke.Functions and uses
Their purpose is to prevent flames from moving from the affected sector to the adjoining sector in the case of fire, thereby preventing the spread of the fire.
Fire Curtain Systems
Advantages
Architectural
- Light, compact system.
- Allows the creation of hidden divisions for splitting buildings, industrial warehouses, refrigerated chambers, etc. into fire sectors.
- This is an ideal solution for sectorisation in areas where there is a need for movement of machinery, people, vehicles or conveyor belts, allowing spaces to be kept open.
- Control of production in factory.
- Autonomous system with remote management and control of fires (depending on model).
- System for controlling lowering and FAIL SAFE controlled emergency drop integrated in motor.
- Speed of lowering in accordance with ASB1 – ASB3.
Aesthetic
- Invisible system for the sectorisation of fire and smoke.
- Integration and consistency with architectural elements.
- Creation of sectors, after the activation of the system by the fire protection unit.
- Finished in choice of RAL colours.
- High temperature resistance (1000ºC) under regulation EN 1634-1.
- Over 1,000 operation cycles.
- Non-penetrable by smoke with pressure of 25 Pa (0.00 m3/h).
Functional
- Easy installation and maintenance.
- Pre-assembled systems.
- Control of system status, management of maintenance and system lifespan.
- UPS uninterruptible power supply with autonomy of up to 6 hours.
- Control of position and status of the barriers.
