Doorway Spill Barriers

Doorway Spill Barrier BL/EX

The Spill Barrier is suitable for crack-free surfaces with up to 20 mm (± 10 mm) of floor/ground unevenness, e.g. concrete, corrugated sheet metal, tiles, stones, asphalt, etc. Special feature: Sealing of railroad tracks.

The Spill Barrier features a trapezoidal, integral hollow profiled aluminium section with a compressible, highly adaptable special seal affixed to the bottom side and end faces.

It is securely mounted in two mounting fixtures to the left and to the right of the opening to be secured and tightly sealed against the building or structure. Installation within the doorjamb is possible.

A vertical tensioning device is bolted on each of the mounting fixtures with which the necessary force can be applied to press the body of the barrier into place against the mounts and the floor/ground and compress the floor/ground seal. A leak-proof closure is ensured in this manner. The position of the levers can be selected at will by means of special consoles. The contact pressure is adjustable.

Wall mounts are included in the product package to provide for orderly storage.

Barrier bodies and mounting fixtures are furnished with a red paint finish, preferably “traffic red” RAL 3020. The remaining metal components are galvanized or made of aluminium.

Spill Barrier BL/BED

The Spill  Barrier forms the basis for a modular system for incremental build-up for stationary systems with rotating capability on one side, manual or automatic versions.

Suitable for crack-free surfaces with up to 20 mm (± 10 mm) of floor/ground unevenness, e.g. concrete, corrugated sheet metal, tiles, stones, etc.

The Containment Barrier is comprised of a trapezoidal, integral hollow aluminium profiled body. A compressible, highly adaptable special seal is affixed to the lower side and end faces.

The rotating mount and the tensioning device are securely mounted next to the opening to be secured and then sealed. The closure body is firmly bolted into the hinge. In the resting position, it stands vertically and is protected in accordance with accident prevention measures against being folded down unintentionally. When being used, the securing device is unlocked, the Retention Barrier is folded down manually or actuated by means of a lever-type aid into the tensioning device on the opposite side, and the barrier is locked into place. The contact pressure of the tensioning device is adjustable.

With certain lengths and heights, the closure barrier is counterbalanced with weights. Gas-charged springs are standard for small and medium-size barriers, hand cranks for large and extremely large barriers.

Barrier bodies and mounting fixtures are furnished with a red paint finish, preferably “traffic red” RAL 3020. The remaining metal components are galvanized or made of aluminium.

Automatic Doorway Spill Barrier BL/BED-PM

The automatic Spill Barrier BL/BED-PM is suitable for crack-free surfaces with up to 20 mm (± 10 mm) of floor/ground unevenness, e.g. concrete, corrugated sheet metal, tiles, stones, etc. The Containment Barrier features a trapezoidal, integral hollow aluminium profiled body. A compressible, highly adaptable, chemical resistant and fire retardant seal, according to DIN 4102 - B1, is affixed to the lower side and end faces. The rotating mount and tensioning device are securely mounted next to the opening to be secured and sealed.

The Spill Barrier body, firmly bolted in a hinge, is reinforced in the centre and includes a mounting eye for a pneumatic cylinder. The pneumatic cylinder is linked to a unique mount, which is likewise securely mounted to the floor/ground and sealed. The Spill Barrier BL/BED-PM is triggered by the push of a button or a 24 Volt DC signal which drops In the event of an emergency. The Spill Barrier closes fully automatically or travels back into the standby position. Operating pressure 4 - 10 bar.

Depending on the requirements, the Containment Barrier BL/BED-PM is triggered by the Fire Control Switchboard, Flow Meters, Leakage Detectors or any other Hazard detection systems. Key features of the Spill Barrier BL/BED-PM are that it can be operated independently by a push button system, which allows for immediate action by personnel. Spills or contaminates of low volumes and any foam material also trigger the Containment Barrier. The Spill Barrier is installed on the floor surface, usually no modifications to the floor surface are required. This has the advantage that no hazardous material such as resins will clog or harden in floor sumps and prevent the barrier from being triggered. Furthermore, small amounts of hazardous materials or vapours are not being collected or trapped which may pose a ignition danger.

The Containment Barrier BL/BED-PM is fitted with an acoustic warning signal. With an upgrade package, a closing stop and visual warning light, as per the German VDS Guideline 2564, can be integrated. Equipped with a solenoid for Ex – Atmospheres, according to ATEX 95/137 and to USA NEC 500 and USA NEC 505, the Spill Barrier BL/BED-PM can be installed in the following Zones: 0, 1, 2, 20, 21, 22 classified by the EU or USA, Class 1 Division 1, Class 1 Division 2, Class 2 Division 1, Class 2 Division 2, Class 1 Zone 0, Class 1 Zone 1, Class 1 Zone 2.

The Spill Barrier body and mounting fixtures are powder coated, preferably in “signal red” RAL 3020. The remaining metal components are galvanized or aluminium.
