asecos Safety Storage Cabinet S-CLASSIC-90, 90 cm

asecos S-CLASSIC-90 safety cabinet, 90 cm

This safety cabinet is specially designed for the safe storage of flammable liquids, chemicals and similar hazardous substances in laboratories and medical facilities. With its robust construction and certified fire protection, this model proves its worth in daily use when the highest safety requirements must be met. Compared to conventional storage cabinets, it offers impressive fire resistance, flexible interior design concepts and integrated ventilation systems.

Versatile safety solution for demanding applications

The cabinet has several performance features that set it apart from other products. In particular, the combination of 90-minute fire resistance in accordance with DIN EN 14470-1 and integration into exhaust air concepts allows for reliable storage. The most important technical data includes:

- External dimensions (W × D × H): 900 × 615 × 1968 mm
- Internal dimensions (W × D × H): 750 × 520 × 1740 mm
- Exhaust air connection (NW): 75 mm
- 10-fold air volume: 5.8 m³/h
- Permissible maximum load: 600 kg
- Empty weight: approx. 335 kg
- Pressure loss in the cabinet: < 5 Pa

In addition, the model makes optimum use of space, as the interior can be configured as required. A variety of shelves, floor collection trays or perforated plate inserts can be installed as standard to store different hazardous substances in an organised manner. Furthermore, the housing - optionally with a transport base - is sturdily constructed and can be easily moved to the desired location. Optionally, the base can be equipped with entry heights of 100 mm and an entry width of 290 mm, which makes installation and alignment particularly flexible. The large door opening (depth 1022 mm when the door is open) allows for convenient loading and unloading of the cabinet. The 90-minute fire resistance provides safety in the event of a fire and prevents critical gases or vapours from spreading thanks to smoke and temperature insulation. In addition, the controlled ventilation (with less than 5 Pa pressure loss) ensures safe air exchange and prevents the accumulation of hazardous substances in the interior.

Certifications and standards

Strict compliance with DIN EN 14470-1 proves the fire protection performance of this model. At the same time, compliance with TRGS 510 ensures that all national guidelines for the storage of hazardous substances are met. This creates a high degree of reliability in sensitive working environments such as research laboratories, chemical institutes or pharmaceutical production facilities. The ventilation openings are also equipped with fusible links: if the temperature rises, these protect against the spread of flames and hot gases. Examples of everyday applications - Laboratory storage of flammable solvents: Ethanol or acetone are often used in scientific laboratories. This cabinet enables safe storage and prevents uncontrolled evaporation. - Storage of corrosive chemicals: Thanks to its flexible design, acids, bases and other hazardous substances can be stored within easy reach without negatively affecting each other. - Intermediate storage for medical substances: In clinics or doctors' surgeries, the model can be used to store disinfectants, reagents or sensitive pharmaceuticals safely and in compliance with regulations.
- Storage of gas cylinders: The stable construction can even bear heavier loads and allows gas cylinders for laboratory or diagnostic purposes to be stored safely.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How can the interior fittings be customised?

The interior fittings can be combined with shelves, perforated sheet metal inserts, drip trays or storage shelves. This allows you to configure the optimal storage space depending on the hazardous substance and the quantity required.

Is an external exhaust air system absolutely necessary?

As hazardous vapours and gases can escape, an exhaust air duct is recommended. The existing connection (NW 75 mm) makes it easy to integrate into existing ventilation concepts.

What exactly does 90-minute fire resistance mean?

In the event of a fire, this means that the cabinet protects its contents from heat, flames and smoke for at least 90 minutes, allowing sufficient time for evacuation and firefighting measures.

What role do TRGS 510 and DIN EN 14470-1 play?

TRGS 510 regulates the storage of hazardous substances in portable containers, while DIN EN 14470-1 defines certain requirements for safety and fire protection cabinets. Both standards ensure a high level of safety and health protection in the workplace.
