asecos Q-CLASSIC-90 safety cabinet, 60 cm, right-hand door hinge

This safety cabinet offers maximum protection for laboratory and medical applications. Its 90-minute fire resistance and robust construction set it apart from comparable products on the market. Laboratories, research facilities and clinics that handle all kinds of hazardous substances on a daily basis will particularly benefit from this high-performance system, which is designed for durability and ease of use and meets the requirements of relevant standards.

Reliable functionality and key features

This cabinet has been specially designed to store hazardous substances under optimal conditions and to ensure personal safety and fire prevention. Thanks to its solid construction and certifications, it is ideal for storing flammable liquids, reactive chemicals or toxic substances. The interior allows for flexible configuration with adjustable shelves and a perforated plate insert to securely store various containers. The floor drip tray also plays a key role in collecting spilled liquids and facilitating the handling of hazardous materials.

The most important technical data at a glance: - Fire resistance: 90 minutes
- External dimensions (W x D x H): 600 x 615 x 1955 mm
- Internal dimensions (W x D x H): 450 x 520 x 1645 mm
- Door hinge: right
- Empty weight: 265 kg
- Maximum load: 600 kg
- Exhaust air connection (NW): 75 mm

In addition to these core values, the unit is equipped with a deep exhaust air function that ensures optimum extraction within the cabinet. With a 10-fold air exchange rate, the required air volume is only 4.1 m³/h, with the pressure loss remaining below 5 Pa. This ensures a constant and safe operating climate without the user having to carry out costly modifications or special installations. The hinged door with right-hand hinge is solidly constructed and can ensure a high degree of tightness even with frequent use.

Particularly noteworthy is the overall stability with a maximum load capacity of 600 kg. This means that the system can be used not only for smaller containers, but also for larger ones, for example when larger quantities of chemical raw materials need to be stored. The solid steel housing can withstand high mechanical loads and ensures the long-term reliable storage of a wide variety of hazardous substances.

Relevant standards and certifications

A key requirement in laboratory and medical facilities is compliance with the highest safety standards. Among other things, the cabinet complies with the DIN EN 14470-1 standard, which defines the storage of flammable liquids, and DIN EN 14727, which sets out important requirements for laboratory furniture. With its 90-minute fire resistance, critical substances are protected from flames and heat for much longer than with less resistant alternatives.

Specific application examples

1. Research laboratories: Whether in chemical, biological or pharmaceutical development, chemicals such as ethanol, methanol or acetone are often stored. The cabinet not only offers protection against fire, but also controlled exhaust air flow to minimise harmful vapours.
2. Medical facilities: Disinfectants, reagents and solvents are often found in clinic and hospital laboratories. The integrated floor drip tray allows spilled liquids to be easily collected.
3. Quality control departments: Companies that work with acids or bases can store substances safely, thereby increasing occupational safety in production.
4. Industrial companies: When storing large quantities of flammable substances, the high total load limit of 600 kg ensures that the cabinet can also withstand heavy containers.

FAQ

What standards does the cabinet meet?

Among other things, it complies with DIN EN 14470-1 for the fire-resistant storage of flammable liquids and DIN EN 14727 for laboratory furniture.

Why is a fire resistance duration of 90 minutes so important?

Within this time span, the contents are effectively protected from heat and flames. This gives rescue workers and staff the opportunity to react in time.

Can it also hold gaseous substances?

Yes, the integrated exhaust air options and the 75 mm exhaust air connection allow even gas cylinders to be stored safely, provided that the applicable regulations are observed.

What interior fittings are included?

In addition to shelves, perforated sheet metal inserts and a floor collection tray are available to increase the level of safety in the event of liquid spills.

How can the cabinet be transported?

The transport base with a 520 mm entry width and a height of 90 mm simplifies movement with a pallet truck. This allows the cabinet to be set up flexibly.
