asecos UB-S-30 safety base cabinet, 110 cm
The asecos UB-S-30 safety base cabinet, 110 cm, is particularly suitable for laboratory and industrial environments where hazardous and flammable liquids or chemicals need to be stored safely in a small space. Thanks to its compact design, this model can be easily integrated under a work surface, saving valuable space. Compared to conventional floor-standing or tall cabinets, it offers space-optimised and standard-compliant storage, which contributes to significantly improved occupational safety.
Efficient safety and outstanding functionality
This under-counter model impresses with its high-quality materials, reliable fire protection and intelligent interior design. Thanks to its fire-resistant construction with a tested resistance time of 30 minutes, the contents of the cabinet remain protected long enough in an emergency to allow important evacuation measures to be taken. The built-in fire protection insulation, combined with specially sealed doors and drawers, ensures that neither heat nor flames can penetrate uncontrollably. The air intake and exhaust vents are also equipped with fusible links so that hazardous substances can be continuously vented from the interior, while automatically closing when temperatures become too high.
The robust construction ensures a maximum load capacity of up to 300 kg. This is particularly important when storing larger containers as well as canisters or bottles. Additional safety is provided by the option of storing different substances such as solvents, bases or corrosive liquids separately from each other - the interior fittings can be individually configured as required.
With ergonomic requirements in mind, two drawers have been integrated, which can be pulled out easily and quietly. Both can be equipped with either a pull-out tray or a perforated sheet insert and offer different height levels. This allows reagents, bottles or canisters that are needed urgently to be placed within easy reach without having to search for them. The low pressure loss in the cabinet (less than 1 Pa) also enables stable exhaust air flow, which is essential for compliance with organisational safety requirements.
Key technical data at a glance
- External dimensions (W x D x H): 1100 x 550 x 600 mm
- Internal dimensions (W x D x H): 980 x 455 x 510 mm
- Fire resistance: tested for 30 minutes
- Exhaust air connection: 75 mm
- Empty weight: 120 kg
- Air volume 10 times: 2.2 m³/h
- Pressure loss inside: < 1 Pa
In addition, the usable adjustment heights for the drawers are approx. 465 mm (optionally with pull-out tray or perforated plate insert) and 230/225 mm in the second level. The permissible surface load of 0.068 kg/mm² leaves enough reserve to safely position even heavy containers with different hazardous substances.
Important standards and certifications
Compliance with all relevant safety standards is ensured above all by certification in accordance with DIN EN 14470-1 - a European standard that defines strict requirements for cabinets used to store flammable liquids. With the CE mark, the manufacturer also confirms compliance with the basic EU directives. This certification is essential for ensuring full compliance with legal and operational requirements, particularly in sensitive areas such as laboratories, quality assurance facilities and research departments.
Typical areas of application and substances
- Laboratories in universities or research institutions: For the safe storage of solvents such as acetone, ethanol or isopropanol
- Chemical and pharmaceutical industry: For bases, acids and other aggressive chemicals that require controlled storage
- Production departments with flammable substances: Prevents fire risks through proper storage in a protected room
- Quality control: For sensitive test chemicals that require constant ventilation and separation
Thanks to its base cabinet design, the model is particularly advantageous where space is limited and an integrated solution under the work surface is desired.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How can the cabinet be mounted under a work surface?
The base cabinet requires a sufficiently high work surface with a total height of at least 600 mm. It is usually secured in place using screw connections or custom-fit guides. Thanks to its uniform width of 1100 mm, the model can be harmoniously integrated into existing workstation systems.
What needs to be considered with regard to the exhaust air ducting?
As the cabinet contains flammable or chemically reactive fluids, it is recommended that the integrated exhaust air outlet (NW 75) be connected to an existing ventilation system. This prevents dangerous vapours from accumulating. The low pressure loss facilitates connection to standard ventilation systems.
Can different substances be stored at the same time?
Yes. Thanks to separate drawers and flexible trays, the interior can be adapted to different chemicals. However, it is essential to carefully check the compatibility of the substances to rule out any possible reactions.
Does this safety cabinet require special maintenance?
Regular visual and functional checks are recommended, in particular to check the functionality of components such as fire dampers, fusible links and seals. A fixed maintenance schedule supports longevity and reliability.
Conclusion
This safety base cabinet offers a reliable solution for anyone who needs legally compliant and fire-safe storage in confined spaces. In addition to DIN EN 14470-1 certification, the CE mark guarantees professional standards for laboratories and industrial companies. With its fire-resistant construction, customisable drawer pull-outs and high load capacity, this model impresses in terms of safety, functionality and flexibility. At the same time, it can be easily integrated into existing workplace concepts thanks to its integrated, precisely fitting exhaust air duct. This allows valuable hazardous substances such as chemicals or flammable liquids to be stored safely and retrieved quickly and clearly during daily operations.
