asecos SL-CLASSIC acid and alkali cabinet, 60 cm, right-hand door hinge
This safety cabinet is specially designed for storing chemicals, acids and alkalis in professional environments. Thanks to its well-thought-out design and selected materials, this model offers maximum safety in laboratories as well as in industrial and medical facilities. If you want to store hazardous substances reliably and value tested quality standards, this is a very robust and flexible solution. Compared to similar products on the market, this cabinet stands out thanks to its convenient exhaust air ducting, sturdy steel body and well-designed interior. Safety and construction
During construction, particular attention was paid to fire resistance and optimised air flow. The sturdy outer housing is resistant to mechanical impact and offers the advantage of an integrated drip tray that reliably collects any liquids that may escape. The hinged door with right-hand hinge ensures quick access and helps to enable a rapid response in an emergency.
An exhaust air connection (NW 75 mm) enables connection to a ventilation and air conditioning system. This ensures continuous ventilation so that hazardous vapours can be discharged directly. In addition, the resulting negative pressure minimises the risk of aggressive media accumulating in the cabinet and causing corrosion on components. The pressure loss inside is around 40 Pa, which facilitates efficient air renewal (up to 30 m³/h).
Thanks to the heavy-duty materials and the precisely manufactured door seal, the construction can withstand high loads. This contributes significantly to the long service life of the cabinet and ensures a safe environment, even when corrosive chemicals such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) or caustic soda (NaOH) are stored regularly.
Important product details
To facilitate daily work in laboratory and production environments, the following features of the cabinet are worth highlighting:
- Right-hand door hinge: The right-hand hinge provides optimised access, which proves particularly practical in many rooms.
- Hinged doors: Large door openings facilitate efficient loading and unloading and ensure a clear overview.
- External dimensions (W x D x H): 600 x 605 x 1950 mm - compact enough for smaller rooms, but large enough for a variety of bottles and canisters.
- Resilient interior: A shelf, pull-out shelf and drip trays can be arranged individually, offering flexible storage options for various containers.
- Empty weight of 135 kg: The sturdy steel body guarantees stability without compromising functionality.
- Exhaust air connection: Thanks to the integrated opening (NW 75 mm), the cabinet fits easily into existing exhaust air systems.
- 30-fold air exchange: An air volume of 30 m³/h enables the rapid removal of hazardous vapours.
In addition, the model has particularly acid- and alkali-resistant surfaces to effectively prevent corrosion. This is an essential factor for a long service life, especially in laboratories where there is constant contact with aggressive media. The option of individually configuring the interior fittings ensures a perfect fit for every substance group.
Certifications and standards
When storing flammable or corrosive hazardous substances, compliance with relevant guidelines is crucial. Among other things, this model complies with DIN EN 14470-1, which sets high standards for safety cabinets. This ensures that, when used correctly, reliable protection is provided even in the event of a fire. In addition, the product complies with other common standards for handling hazardous substances, so that both internationally active companies and national businesses can rely on a tested and robust design.
Typical examples of use
This cabinet is often used in laboratories to safely store substances such as nitric acid, sulphuric acid or ethanol. In the chemical industry, it is used to store various intermediate and finished products that may only be stored under controlled conditions. Medical facilities also benefit: they can safely store sensitive or hazardous preparations, disinfectants or solvents. This reduces the risk of accidents and makes work processes more efficient. In addition, schools and research facilities often use a variety of different substances at the same time - this is where the clever interior design of the cabinet really comes into its own.
FAQs
How is the model ventilated to remove vapours?
The integrated connection with a nominal value of 75 mm can be connected directly to an exhaust air system. This allows stale air to leave the cabinet continuously, preventing the build-up of potentially hazardous substances.
Is the model fire-resistant?
Yes, the fire resistance complies with the requirements of DIN EN 14470-1, providing the best possible protection for the contents in emergency situations.
How flexible is the interior design?
Thanks to shelves, pull-out shelves and built-in drip trays, various container sizes, such as bottles, canisters or smaller containers, can be safely stored. The elements can be moved and added to as required.
