    • Fire protection curtains

      Fire protection curtains

      In case of fire, fire protection curtains close wall and ceiling openings. Their construction (roll-down or folding technique) and the use of different fabrics provide for a wide range of applications as well as different protection goals, classifications and time classes. The casing and guide rails of the highly flexible systems blend almost invisibly into the building and allow plenty of scope for sophisticated architecture and open room concepts.

    • Conveyor system closures

      Conveyor system closures

      Various production and logistics processes call for the most diverse types of conveyor systems. If these conveyor lines pass through fire-retardant or fire-resistant walls or ceilings, the openings required for this purpose must be provided with fire protection closures to prevent the spread of fire through the conveyor system or the goods conveyed. In the event of fire, conveyor system closures (CSC for short) must close these openings immediately and automatically. Fire resistance classified according to DIN EN 13501-2 is just as important as the smooth clearance of the closing areas in the event of a fire.

    • Smoke curtains

      Smoke curtains

      A smoke apron is a part of a smoke control system which also includes other components such as natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (EN 12101-2) and mechanical smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (EN 12101-3). Smoke aprons restrict the movement of combustion gases within a building in case of fire.

    • Smoke protection curtains

      Smoke protection curtains

      Once closed, smoke protection curtains (SPC) restrict the passage of smoke during the phase of fire formation, so that in the event of a fire, there is enough time to rescue people and animals from the room behind the curtain and to recover material assets without the need for respiratory equipment.

    • Tube sealings

      Tube sealings

      The solution for issues with fire protection dampers in ventilation and air conditioning systems in conveyor processes. Stöbich offers fire protection for pneumatic conveyor lines the closing elements of which are not exposed to the flow of conveyed material. This way, the closing element cannot be damaged or contaminated by abrasive conveyed goods.

    • Control units

      Control units

      Each automatic fire protection system needs a control unit. They are critical to safety, because a failure of this function means that the entire investment into a fire protection sealing has been in vain. Control units coordinate both fire detection and interaction with other control units, such as higher-level building control systems or clearing of the closing area of conveyor system closures.

Fire in the test facility for battery safety at STÖBICH technology

Fire in the test facility for battery safety at STÖBICH technology

On the STÖBICH company premises (Pracherstieg 6, Goslar), a fire broke out in the test facility of STÖBICH technology on 06.05.2021 during a test of a lithium-ion battery.

During a deliberately induced short-circuit scenario with a lithium-ion storage unit, the test battery used exploded. The so-called traction battery, which is still under development, was being tested on behalf of a customer and will later be used, for example, as a traction battery in the field of e-mobility. The cause of the explosion is still unknown.

The controlled test took place in the STÖBICH technology building complex, which is specially equipped for these test purposes and was only recently built. The fire caused property damage to the building. No people were injured. The fire brigade and rescue services quickly had the situation under control.

STÖBICH technology, a subsidiary of the STÖBICH Group, has been developing fire protection solutions for battery storage systems since 2013 and regularly conducts tests with energy storage systems for this purpose at its Goslar site.
