Fire safety and efficiency with the RP150 high-speed door
In facilities that rely on automated systems and processes, the risk of fire outbreaks is a constant concern. For high-volume, high-speed automated operations involving heavy or numerous moving parts, electrical components, or tightly packed or flammable materials, the potential for sparks and fire ignition is even higher.
In industrial and commercial settings where automated operations are prevalent, the risk of fire outbreaks is a constant concern. Particularly in environments with heavy machinery, numerous moving parts, electrical components, or flammable materials, the potential for sparks and fire ignition is heightened.
When a fire breaks out, the consequences can be severe and swift. Many modern facilities now integrate oxygen reduction systems as a crucial component of their safety measures. Our newly introduced RP150 high speed door is designed to seamlessly align with the requirements of these systems, ensuring not only compliance but also fostering safer and more efficient traffic flows. The RP150 stands as a cutting-edge fire protection solution, offering a high level of safety for automated work and storage environments.
The RP150 leverages the fundamental principle that oxygen is essential for combustion. By reducing the oxygen levels in the air, our high-speed door actively prevents fires from starting and spreading in enclosed spaces, making it an integral part of Oxygen Reduction Systems (ORS).
Unlike traditional fire protection systems that respond after a fire has initiated, ORS provides active fire prevention. These systems are widely adopted in warehouses and material handling facilities, where the proximity of various materials poses a significant risk. ORS actively maintains low oxygen levels to prevent fire, offering continuous fire prevention with fewer challenges compared to conventional systems.
Fluctuations in airflow, humidity, pressure, and room temperature can increase fire risks, necessitating adaptable and compliant solutions. The ASSA ABLOY RP150 stands out as an easy-to-integrate high-speed door that meets the evolving requirements of ORS in automated industrial and commercial buildings. This airtight door not only optimises workspace and enhances warehouse efficiency but also prioritises fire protection, placing employee safety at the forefront.
The RP150 is a compact access solution for automated production setups with high speed and short cycle times that increases product flow and process productivity. This durable high-speed door also guarantees airtightness, leading to a low concentration of oxygen to prevent fire from starting and spreading in a closed space. The minimal number of parts makes maintenance easy and reduces downtime for an efficient warehouse. We’re proud to see this gate has already proven to improve traffic flows, without compromising fire safety or efficiency.
