Fire protection for copiers & co.

Copying machines, printers and also drinks vending machines can be found in almost every company. Sometimes they run really hot and can start to burn under certain circumstances. The fire protection experts from STÖBICH and PROTEC-24 know how to prevent the fire from spreading uncontrollably.

Copiers and other devices of comparable size are often easily accessible in corridors that also serve as escape routes. Unfortunately, these electronic everyday helpers pose a great risk of fire: The heating of the fuser unit and a failure of the thermal switch can lead to overheating and consequently to an incipient fire. Once the smoke is in the hallway, it becomes a fire hazard. And even if no one is on site, the toxic fumes cause considerable damage, necessitating renovation and thus interruption of operations.

Intelligent fire protection can consequently save livelihoods. For copiers and similar electronic equipment, STÖBICH and our partner PROTEC-24 have developed the ➥ Copy-Cap developed in different versions: a fire protection bonnet which, after the smoke detector has been triggered, opens within 10 seconds. ➥ slips over the burning device . The smoke development is stopped immediately by the textile system; escape routes remain free and possible building damage is kept within limits.

Thanks to its flat design and individual colouring, the Copy-Cap blends discreetly into the interior design. The metal surface can also be used as a memo board for notes and notices in a central location. After release, the fire protection bonnet can be returned to its original position in no time at all, which also saves costs. Also helpful: PROTEC-24 offers an all-round carefree service for copy caps, from development and installation to maintenance and servicing.
