Gas cylinder cabinets
Gas cylinder cabinets for technical gas storage
Technical gas cabinets are the foundation of safety, protecting cylinders from damage and overturning. The G-ULTIMATE-90 models offer 90 minutes of fire resistance (PN-EN 14470-2 standard), which allows gases to be stored indoors. For outdoor installation, G-OD cabinets made of galvanized steel are ideal, resistant to corrosion and harsh environments.
Advantages of professional storage systems:
- high fire resistance confirmed by tests,
- a wide selection of models with a width of 60 to 140 cm,
- efficient technical ventilation to prevent leaks,
- practical ramp that makes it easier to maneuver cylinders,
- handles stabilizing cylinders in a safe position,
- Complies with the stringent TRGS 510 standard.
Thanks to ergonomics, maneuvering heavy cylinders is easier. By choosing OHS-compliant solutions, you gain the highest protection for employees and minimize risk throughout the facility.
Fire resistant cabinets Type 90 and Type 30 according to EN 14470-2
A wide selection of fire resistance classes allows for precise adjustment of security to the specifics of a given facility. The Type-30 models provide a cost-effective solution, providing 30-minute protection for gas cylinders. Thanks to the use of an advanced thermal barrier and refractory materials, these systems effectively minimize the risk of explosion.
The innovative G-ULTIMATE series raises safety standards by offering an automatic door closing mechanism. The system reacts immediately to a sharp increase in temperature, and the highest quality of workmanship is confirmed by the stringent DIN EN certifications.
The key advantages of the system are:
- effective thermal insulation protecting against explosion,
- automatic door lock activated in the event of fire,
- full compliance with European safety standards,
- availability of variants with a height of 145 cm and 205 cm,
- Seamless integration into laboratory installations.
Choosing professional gas cabinets is not only about meeting strict legal standards, but above all about real care for the health and life of the team working in the laboratory.
Gas cylinder cabinets for indoor and outdoor installation
The design of technical gas cabinets is strictly adapted to the place of their operation. The G-OD series models are designed for demanding outdoor conditions, where the highest durability is key. The use of hot-dip galvanized steel sheet makes these structures fully resistant to corrosion even after many years of intensive use in harsh environments.
The G-OD series models are distinguished by a number of solutions that increase their functionality and safety:
- practical, sloping roof facilitating efficient rain and snow drainage,
- a wide selection of dimensions including 70 cm, 100 cm and 135 cm variants,
- different types of door leaves: full, glazed or made of durable grating,
- high level of protection against theft thanks to robust cylinder locks,
- a clear increase in health and safety standards in the workplace by insulating cylinders.
Choosing a grille door guarantees constant air circulation, which allows for safe gas discharge in the event of a leak in the system. Moving the cylinders outside the building means that hazardous media is out of the area of everyday tasks, which significantly increases the safety of employees and really protects the company's property.
Ventilation and extraction in hazardous areas
Proper airflow is the foundation for safety when storing gases such as propane, butane or chlorine. In order to effectively eliminate explosion hazard zones, specialized protective cabinets are equipped with an active mechanical extractor.
The use of an integrated connector and the NW 75 connection allows the device to be quickly connected to the general extraction system. A certified EX fan is responsible for forced circulation, which meets the strict requirements of the ATEX directive. This configuration provides a number of benefits:
- effective removal of flammable fumes,
- minimizing the risk of uncontrolled ignition,
- constant gas exchange inside the housing,
- compliance with stringent safety standards,
- protection of personnel from toxic fumes,
- creating a safe and stable working environment.
In models intended for outdoor use, gravity ventilation is additionally used. Thanks to strategically placed openings at the bottom and top of the structure, the continuous circulation allows for the ongoing removal of hazardous substances, which directly translates into a higher level of protection in the plant.
Steel structure, entrance ramp and cylinder mount
The structure made of thick steel sheet guarantees above-average resistance to mechanical damage and many years of service life. The surface has been coated with a high-quality powder coating that effectively protects the metal from corrosion, and for the most demanding industrial environments, we also offer variants made of stainless steel.
The storage system is designed for maximum safety and ergonomics of daily work in every plant:
- made of solid steel sheet resistant to deformation,
- anti-corrosion protection with a durable varnish coating,
- stabilization of cylinders with a capacity of 11 and 50 liters using C-type rails,
- safe chains to protect sensitive valves from impact,
- movable ramp for easy entry of heavy tanks,
- An additional shelf for reducers and technical hoses.
The use of adjustable internal handles allows for precise adjustment to the size of the cylinder, which, in combination with the space for accessories, creates a fully organized and safe technical gas storage system.
Selection of a cabinet for gas cylinders according to OHS and TRGS 510
Choosing a professional gas cylinder cabinet requires strict adherence to health and safety standards and the TRGS 510 and TRG 280 guidelines. When deciding on a specific model, it is worth looking for solutions with GS certification and the CE mark, which are a real confirmation of the highest safety standards.
The foundation of the team's protection is a reliable risk assessment and the implementation of key principles of safe operation:
- selection of models with a clear W19 marking,
- installation away from potential sources of fire,
- location out of reach of the main escape routes,
- proper segregation of cylinders to prevent uncontrolled reactions,
- use only certified fittings,
- hazard analysis based on safety data sheets.
Buying high-end equipment is just the beginning of the road. Regular service and constant attention to the technical condition of the plant are essential to ensure the continuity of processes in the plant. In any modern laboratory, chemical safety is the absolute basis for the success and health of employees.
