asecos UB-S-90 safety base cabinet, 89 cm, depth 50 cm
Introduction
The asecos UB-S-90 safety base cabinet, 89 cm, depth 50 cm, is specially designed for use in laboratories, medical facilities and research laboratories. Its solid construction and high fire resistance make it a reliable solution for the safe storage of hazardous substances and flammable liquids. Compared to other products, this model impresses with its compact design and generous storage capacity, providing professionals in a wide range of industries with a robust and space-saving option for legally compliant hazardous substance storage.
Construction and safety
This safety base cabinet has been designed to fit easily under laboratory tables, work surfaces or similar equipment. The cabinet housing reliably protects the contents and supports a safe working environment. Especially in laboratories with limited space, it is essential to use space-saving solutions without compromising on safety. The solid construction with an empty weight of 135 kg contributes significantly to stability, while the robust fire resistance of 90 minutes ensures optimum fire protection.
In addition, integrated seals on doors and feed-throughs limit the escape of smoke gases in the event of a fire. The exhaust air connection (NW 75 mm) also supports connection to a ventilation and air conditioning system to enable continuous air circulation and safely dissipate potential emissions. In addition, the model is designed for an air volume of 1.5 m³/h (ten air changes) and has extremely low pressure loss in the cabinet (less than 1 Pa), enabling an efficient ventilation concept to be implemented.
Technical specifications
In everyday use, it is particularly important that key technical parameters can be quickly recorded. Below is an excerpt of the key features:
- External dimensions (W x D x H): 890 x 500 x 600 mm
- Internal dimensions (W x D x H): 770 x 380 x 500 mm
- Fire resistance: 90 minutes
- Load capacity: up to 300 kg
- Exhaust air connection: NW 75 mm
- Air exchange rate: 1.5 m³/h (tenfold)
- Pressure loss in the cabinet: < 1 Pa
Inside, a floor collection tray, a pull-out tray and, in some cases, a perforated plate insert ensure that spilled liquids are safely collected and chemicals can be stored in an orderly manner. This ensures maximum organisation and a reduction in safety risks. In addition, the basic equipment has various usable adjustment heights - approximately 400 mm when using the collection tray with perforated sheet metal insert. Furthermore, additional pull-outs can be easily integrated to meet the individual requirements of a laboratory.
Certifications and standards
Laboratory and medical technology are subject to strict regulations and guidelines. This model complies with relevant standards for the European area, in particular:
- DIN EN 14470-1 - regulates the requirements for safety cabinets for the storage of flammable liquids.
- DIN EN 14727 - defines basic requirements for laboratory furniture.
Compliance with these standards ensures that all legal requirements and industry-specific regulations are met. For companies that handle hazardous substances, such certification is essential in order to comply with internal company approvals and official regulations.
Typical areas of application
Thanks to its well-thought-out design and high-quality components, this cabinet can be used in numerous fields:
- Storage of flammable liquids: Whether various solvents, cleaning agents or process chemicals - these substances can be stored safely in the fire-resistant interior.
- Chemical storage: Even aggressive substances such as acids and alkalis can be stored safely in the pull-out trays.
- Medical facilities: The model is suitable for storing highly sensitive liquids or reagents and protecting them from unauthorised access.
- Research laboratories: Safe storage is essential, especially when storing critical chemicals, in order to carry out investigations and experiments without risk.
Thanks to its compact dimensions, the cabinet is ideal for use wherever space is limited but maximum safety standards are essential.
FAQs
How should the cabinet be installed?
It is usually installed as an under-bench cabinet in laboratory tables or under work surfaces. It can either be set up independently or connected directly to existing exhaust air systems.
What safety features are integrated?
The model has fire-resistant doors, specially designed fusible links in exhaust air valves and tight-fitting door seals. These components ensure a high level of fire protection and controlled release of hazardous substances in an emergency.
Can the cabinet also be equipped with gas cylinders?
It is primarily optimised for the storage of flammable liquids and chemicals. There are special storage solutions for pressurised gas cylinders, but these should be adapted depending on the respective diameter and type of gas. In many laboratories, gas cylinders are stored separately for safety reasons.
Can I flexibly design the interior?
Yes, you can adapt the interior to the individual requirements of your applications with various fittings such as pull-out or base trays with perforated sheet metal inserts and additional pull-out levels.
Conclusion
This safety base cabinet impresses with its compact design, high fire resistance and well-thought-out interior fittings, which enable the safe storage of hazardous substances. The robust construction ensures that even challenging environments in laboratories or research facilities can be efficiently covered. Users benefit from standard-compliant storage capacity, an easy-to-install exhaust air duct and the ability to protect hazardous substances from unauthorised access and fire in the best possible way. Anyone looking for a space-saving and compliant solution for storing flammable liquids, chemicals or sensitive reagents will find this system to be a reliable partner that meets the highest working and safety requirements.
