Düperthal Type 30 BASIC UTS BLK-5 Safety Cabinet
The Düperthal Type 30 BASIC UTS BLK-5 Safety Cabinet is a versatile storage system that has been specially developed for research laboratories, industrial applications and medical facilities. With its high safety standard and robust construction, this cabinet is ideal for storing potentially hazardous substances such as flammable liquids and gas cylinders. Compared to other similar safety cabinets, it scores points with its extended ventilation system, which reaches every shelf level, and its proven fire resistance in accordance with DIN EN 14470-1.
Detailed description and technical structure
The model was specifically designed for passive storage and can withstand 30 minutes of fire, which is particularly important for highly sensitive work areas. Manufactured by DÜPERTHAL SICHERHEITSTECHNIK, the robust system benefits from extensive type testing, which reflects further certifications in addition to the GS test mark. The external dimensions are 1095 x 500 x 635 mm, allowing the cabinet to be integrated into many laboratories and production facilities in a space-saving manner. Different internal dimensions on the left and right sides ensure that bottles, canisters and other containers can be arranged as required. Thanks to the two earthing connections in accordance with TRGS 727, electrostatic discharge is reliably guaranteed. An exhaust air connection (NW 75) is also available if an external exhaust air system is to be connected. The security doors with cylinder locks effectively protect the contents from unauthorised access. In addition, the thermocouple ensures automatic and unobstructed self-closing in an emergency.
The most important technical features at a glance:
- Fire resistance: Type 30 according to DIN EN 14470-1
- External dimensions (W x D x H): 1095 x 500 x 635 mm
- Two earthing connections in accordance with TRGS 727
- Extended ventilation on every shelf level
- Floor collection trays on the left approx. 18 l, on the right approx. 8 l
- Max. load capacity per shelf: 30 kg (left and right)
- Automatic self-closing in case of fire
The interior features a perforated sheet metal insert in the base sections, which allows for easy cleaning and clear separation of the stored substances. This organisational structure is particularly advantageous when storing chemicals, solvents or gas cartridges. The drip trays, with a volume of 18 litres on the left and 8 litres on the right, prevent leaking media from entering the cabinet area in an uncontrolled manner.
Certifications and standards
Safety and quality are paramount in this system. In addition to DIN EN 14470-1, which confirms 30 minutes of fire resistance, numerous other tests have been carried out. The cabinet has been tested in accordance with DIN EN 14727 and complies with the technical rules for hazardous substances in accordance with TRGS 510 Annex 3. The certified GS mark indicates officially tested safety, and the CE mark proves compliance with European directives. The minimum 30-minute resistance to heat allows for early response in the event of a fire in laboratory or production environments.
Application examples
In many professional areas, the handling of hazardous substances requires special solutions. This safety cabinet is used in the following areas, among others:
- Research and development laboratories: Safe storage of chemicals, flammable liquids, reagents and solvents. - Pharmaceutical facilities: Orderly storage of flammable substances and laboratory chemicals. - Production facilities: Storage of paints, varnishes and other potentially flammable materials.
- Universities and colleges: Safe storage of raw materials for analytical and practical experiments
Thanks to its integrated earthing connections, this model is also recommended for use with highly flammable solvents such as acetone or ethanol. Gases such as propane or pressurised gas cylinders can also be stored without any problems and without the accumulation of dangerous vapours: The ventilation in each cabinet level immediately removes any potential gases.
FAQs
What is the maximum fire resistance duration?
The cabinet has been tested to 30 minutes in accordance with DIN EN 14470-1. This allows valuable time to be gained for evacuation and firefighting measures in the event of a fire.
Can an external exhaust air system also be connected?
Yes, an exhaust air connection with a nominal value of NW 75 is available so that a connection to external ventilation systems can be established.
What types of substances are suitable for storage?
Primarily flammable liquids such as solvents, acids in suitable containers, gas cylinders or other hazardous substances. Sensitive medicines that must be kept under lock and key are also safely stored here.
What safety precautions are in place?
The model has a cylinder lock for access security, robust doors, floor collection trays on both sides and an automatic self-closing system via thermocouple. It can also be earthed, thus offering protection against electrostatic discharge.
What is the load capacity of the compartments?
Each shelf can hold up to 30 kg when the weight is evenly distributed. This is particularly important when several containers or canisters are stored at the same time.
Conclusion
This safety cabinet ensures reliable storage of flammable and other hazardous substances in professional environments. The well-thought-out combination of fire resistance, sophisticated ventilation and convenient access security ensures a high level of protection and maximum user-friendliness. It proves to be a valuable investment in laboratories, industry and medical facilities, as it not only meets the strict standards of DIN EN 14470-1 and TRGS 510, but also impresses with its stability and flexible storage options. Anyone looking for a safe and universally applicable storage solution for hazardous substances will find a high-performance system here that meets the highest requirements.
