asecos UB-ST-90 safety base cabinet, 140 cm, depth 50 cm
The asecos UB-ST-90 safety base cabinet, 140 cm, depth 50 cm, is a well-designed solution for professionals who require the highest level of safety when storing hazardous substances in laboratories, medical facilities and research institutions. Thanks to its robust construction and 90-minute fire resistance, it ensures that chemicals and other critical substances can be stored reliably and remain accessible at all times.
Important features and benefits
This base cabinet is specially designed for environments with limited space, without compromising on safety and convenience. It scores points for its compact design, which allows for efficient use of space, and for its numerous features, which make it highly valued in professional settings. The following aspects offer particularly great advantages in practice:
- 90 minutes fire resistance: Ideal for protecting flammable liquids or other chemicals during a fire.
- Robust construction: The empty weight of 210 kg and a possible payload of up to 300 kg demonstrate its high stability.
- Variable interior: The usable storage space can be optimally adapted to the required containers or equipment using different collection and pull-out trays and perforated sheet metal inserts.
- Safe ventilation: An exhaust air connection (NW 75 mm) and a 10-fold air volume of 2.5 m³/h ensure effective removal of potentially hazardous vapours.
- Convenient handling: Hinged doors and drawers provide quick access to stored substances and make everyday work easier.
In addition to these core advantages, the cabinet can be individually adapted to the respective room conditions. The dimensions of 1400 x 500 x 600 mm (external dimensions) are also suitable for smaller laboratory configurations, while the interior (770/470 x 380 x 500 mm) offers sufficient storage space for various container sizes and auxiliary equipment.
Safety features and certifications
The model complies with the standards required in laboratories and other safety-relevant environments. In particular, DIN EN 14470-1 (storage of flammable liquids) and DIN EN 14727 (laboratory furniture) are key quality standards that ensure maximum product safety. As the certifications are regularly reviewed, users can rest assured that the cabinet meets all the requirements of modern hazardous substance management.
In addition, the impressively low pressure loss of less than 1 Pa ensures that the exhaust air flow remains constant and significantly reduces the risk of vapour and gas accumulation. In combination with the integrated drip trays, this reduces the likelihood of accidents or contamination and contributes significantly to a safe working environment.
Typical applications
This safety cabinet is used in a variety of industries:
- Laboratories: Storage of chemicals, solvents and toxic samples. Even aggressive substances such as acetone, ethanol or methanol can be stored here safely.
- Medical facilities: Storage of medicines, disinfectants or cleaning chemicals in clinics and doctors' surgeries.
- Research and development: Storage of sensitive analysis materials, reagents and samples that need to be quickly accessible during experiments but still stored safely.
For additional flexibility, the interior can be configured with different tray levels and perforated plates to enable the orderly and separate storage of different groups of substances (e.g. acids and bases).
FAQs
How is the cabinet ventilated?
An integrated exhaust air connection with a cross-section of 75 mm allows connection to an existing exhaust air system. The air volume of 2.5 m³/h with ten air changes per hour ensures efficient removal of harmful vapours.
Can the cabinet also hold gas cylinders?
In principle, the model is suitable for storing various hazardous substances, including gas cylinders. It must be ensured that the cylinders are placed correctly in the designated trays and holders so that all safety standards continue to be met.
What interior fittings are included in the scope of delivery?
The cabinet is delivered without interior fittings. However, floor collection trays, pull-out trays and perforated plate inserts are typically used to store hazardous substances safely. The interior fittings can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements.
Which standards does the cabinet comply with in detail?
The cabinet complies in particular with the standards DIN EN 14470-1 for safety cabinets for the storage of flammable liquids and DIN EN 14727 for laboratory furniture, which guarantees comprehensive protection when storing hazardous substances.
