Megasaver for storage of gas cylinder packs

You can also come to Hiltra for the responsible storage of gas cylinders and/or gas cylinder packages. The main purpose of the out-of-house storage of gas cylinders is to protect the gas cylinders against heat radiation from outside. The risk from the gas cylinders is often not such that this requires a safety distance. In addition to a very extensive standard range of Megasaver gas cylinder racks, we also have the possibility of manufacturing customer-specific gas cylinder racks. Here is an example of a custom-made Megasaver designed for the storage of gas cylinder packages. By using large double wing doors, the gas cylinder packages can be placed safely and quickly with a cage monkey. Do you also have questions about the proper storage of gas cylinder batteries, one of our advisors will be happy to help you. T 0342-404160.

Megasaver® fire compartment for Wepp Benelux Valkenswaard

Wepp Benelux, supplier of innovative maintenance products for cars, delivery vans, lorries and buses, recently took a custom-made Hiltra Megasaver® fire compartment into use. The fire compartment, with a size of 7000x6000x3000 mm, is divided into two compartments for the fireproof storage of liquid hazardous substances and spray cans. The Megasaver was produced in two parts in Barneveld and was then installed by our assembly team on site and assembled on an impermeable foundation. Because of the assembly on a liquid-tight foundation, there are no sills and pallets can be safely driven in and out by means of a stacker. Both compartments are equipped with explosion-proof LED fluorescent lighting. Naturally, this customised Megasaver is also provided with an Efectis fire resistance report and fire resistance strength calculations in accordance with Eurocodes.

6 pieces valve houses for van Ginkel Sprinkler Services Europoort

In 2015, Hiltra supplied Van Ginkel Sprinkler Services Europoort with four Megasaver 60-minute fire-resistant units in the dimensions of 10.0 x 3.0 x 3.1 m as accommodation for the valve houses of a sprinkler system at Rubis Terminal. This year there was a follow-up order for two more similar units, however now in the even larger dimensions of 10.0 x 3.4 x 3.1 and 12.0 x 3.4 x 3.1 m respectively. In these fire resistant units, all the supports and piping required, including wall penetrations with fire cuffs, have been integrated. The units are constructed in accordance with the Buildings Decree and in high-quality C5 marine environment preservation so prepared for a long life. The valve houses are first completed and tested at their own location by Sprinklerservices Europoort before travelling on to their final destination, where the units are connected to the sprinkler network. By using this method, the "disruption" caused by construction and installation activities is of course significantly reduced. On the picture the 12.0 m unit loaded and ready for departure to the installer. For more pictures click here.

Storage and charging station for lithium-ion batteries for Tomin Group Hilversum

The list of fires caused by charging lithium-ion batteries in particular is getting longer and longer. Li-Ion batteries can cause fires in the event of thermal runaway (Thermal Runaway) caused by e.g. internal short-circuits and this is considered a particular hazard with a high fire risk due to the large amounts of energy stored in the cells. Mechanical damage, electrical faults or overheating can lead to leakage of hydrogen fluoride (highly toxic). The chance of a violent explosion of a li-ion battery should not be underestimated, and because a li-ion battery causes a 'metal fire', the fire cannot be extinguished by traditional means.Hiltra Barneveld BV has developed a complete range of fire safety cabinets and safes which offer a very high level of protection for storage and charging activities with this type of battery. The applied, unique, certified extinguishing system is automatically activated very quickly, is human and environmentally friendly, and limits consequential damage to a minimum. Call us to find out what we can do for you. Click here for more pictures.
