Protection from fire damage: Fire-resistant cabinets are designed to protect the contents inside from damage in the event of a fire. Secure fire-resistant cabinets with 30 or 90 minutes resistance. Suitable for a wide range of hazardous chemicals. The outer body consists of a non-combustible material.
Secure fire-resistant cabinets offer several benefits, including:
They are constructed with materials that can withstand high temperatures and flames, and are designed to keep the temperature inside the cabinet below the temperature at which paper and other important documents can be damaged.
Protection from theft: Secure fire-resistant cabinets are also designed to protect valuable or confidential items from theft. They often have locks or other security features that prevent unauthorized access.
Compliance with regulations: In some industries, such as healthcare or finance, there are regulations that require the storage of certain documents or items in a secure, fire-resistant cabinet. Having a secure fire-resistant cabinet can help ensure that your organization is in compliance with these regulations.
Peace of mind: Knowing that your significant documents, valuables, or confidential items are stored in a secure fire-resistant cabinet can give you peace of mind. You can rest assured that even in the event of a fire, your items will be protected, and you won't have to worry about losing them.
Durability: Fire-resistant cabinets are typically built with durable materials, such as steel or other metals, that can withstand wear and tear over time. This means that your cabinet will last longer and provide reliable protection for your items for many years to come.

The restrictions for FWF 30 cabinets are as follows:
1. only one cabinet is installed per separate building unit/fire(-fighting) compartment; if the area of the separate building unit/fire (-fighting) compartment is greater than 100 m²,
one cabinet may be installed every 100 m²,
or
2. The building unit/fire (-fighting) compartment is protected by an automatic fire detection system and recognized plant fire brigade with a response time of at most 5 minutes from the alarm being raised, or an automatic extinguishing system is in place.

EXCEPTIONS IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (H224):
Flammable liquids whose ignition temperature is below 200 °C and which have been classified as “extremely flammable” (H224) may only be stored in FWF 90 secure cabinets with technical ventilation.
VENTILATION Systems
There are two different ventilation systems:
- Exhaust air fans, which discharge the extracted air to the outside through an exhaust line
- Recirculation fans, which pass the extracted air through integrated filters and thereby render it harmless with regard to explosion hazard before discharging it into the environment
For placement on the secure cabinet and discharge of the extracted air into an external exhaust line
- Sheet steel housing, powder-coated, light grey RAL7035
- Floating output via DIN socket
- Intake fitting diameter 75 mm
- Output volume: 50 – 200 m³/h with volume flow monitoring
- Sound pressure level Lp2A: 35 dB(A)
- Voltage: 230 V
- Frequency: 50 Hz
- Power consumption: max. 0.45 A
A technical ventilation system with 10 air changes per hour has the advantage that, in normal operation with closed containers, no e×plosive atmosphere can occur outside the cabinet.
Operation is also possible without technical ventilation. For this, however, the cabinet must be earthed via equipotential bonding, to prevent electrostatic charging.
If a secure cabinet is not connected to a technical ventilation system, this may also affect the explosion-proof zone.
Zone 1 applies to the inside area, Zone 2 applies to the surrounding area within a radius of 2.5 m.
