      Fire protection curtains

      Fire protection curtains are seal openings in walls and ceilings in case of fire. The constructional set-up (rolling- or folding technology) and the use of different fabrics offer a wide application spectrum as well as different protection targets or classifications and time classes. Casings and side guides of those flexible applicable systems are integrated almost invisibly in the building and provide much scope for design of sophisticated architecture for opened designs.

    • Conveyor system closures

      Conveyor system closures

      Manifold production - and logisitc processes require different construction types of conveying systems. If the haulage drifts are passing through fire-retarding resp. fire-resisting walls or ceilings, the necessary openings must be provided with fire protection closures to avoid the expansion of the fire by conveyor technique or by conveyed material. In case of fire the conveyor system closures have to seal those openings immediately and automatically. Thereby a classified fire resistance as well as the smoothly clearing of the closing area must be respected in case of release.

    • Smoke curtains

      Smoke curtains

      A smoke curtain is part of unit keeping areas free from smoke and may include building parts like natural smoke and heat venting systems and automatic smoke and heat venting systems. Smoke curtains restrict the movement of fire gases inside a building in case of fire.

    • Smoke protection closures

      Smoke protection closures

      In closed condition smoke protection closures restrict the passage of smoke in the phase of fire formation so as to enable the rescue of people, animals or materials assets in case of a fire in the room positioned behind it without the need of breathing protection.

    • Tube sealings

      Tube sealings

      The solution to problems with fire protection dampers for ventilation and air conditioning systems in conveying processes. Stöbich offers fire protection for pneumatic conveying lines where the closing elements are not exposed to the flow. Thus, damage or contamination of the closure element is avoided by abrasive conveyed goods.

    • Controls

      Controls

      Control systems are necessary for all automatic fire protection systems! They are safety-relevant, because without their function or in the event of a malfunction, the entire investment of a fire protection partition would be useless. Controllers coordinate both fire detection and the interaction with other controls, like superordinate building control or the retraction of the closing area at conveyor closing area.

      Médiathèque Charles Nègre | Grasse, France

      The Médiathèque Charles Nègre in Grasse, France, is an impressive example of contemporary architecture that reflects the cultural and historical importance of the region. The information center with space for education, culture and encounters was opened in 2011 and designed by the renowned French architecture firm Marc Barani. The building combines modern aesthetics with the traditional architecture of Provence, creating a harmonious link between old and new, for example by combining modern materials such as glass and steel with local natural stone. The generous window fronts create an atmosphere flooded with light. Ecological sustainability is achieved through natural ventilation and the resulting reduction in energy consumption; green spaces are also integrated on various levels. Our <a href="/us/solutions/fire-protection-curtains/stoebich-fire-smoke-curtain-hc"><b>➥ horizontal Fire and smoke curtain hc</b></a> fire protection curtains fit perfectly into this marvel of contemporary architecture. They securely close the ceiling openings in the event of a fire, but otherwise remain invisible and let in plenty of light and air. Copyright attribution: © Ivry Serres

STÖBICH Group expands its company car fleet with hybrid vehicles

Goslar-based fire protection manufacturer now offers plug-in hybrids as company cars for its group of companies.

STÖBICH Group expands its company car fleet with hybrid vehicles

Goslar-based fire protection manufacturer now offers plug-in hybrids as company cars for its group of companies.

With the recently expanded company car policy, employees of the STÖBICH group of companies can now take advantage of the use of a company car as a hybrid model. This is part of a comprehensive roadmap in which changes that have already been implemented and those that are still to come are intended to contribute to the future reduction of CO₂ emissions, according to the commercial managing director of the STÖBICH Group, Peter Stahl. "The conversion of the company fleet to combined drive concepts is not only timely, it is also part of our environmental strategy, with which we want to make our contribution to climate protection and expand it even further in the future," Stahl continued.

The decision in favour of a combined drive concept and against a conventional combustion engine is to be made easier for employees by amending and aligning the company car guidelines with environmentally friendly models. This is intended to create an additional incentive for choosing a vehicle with a CO₂-optimised drive concept. Through this kind of internal subsidy for hybrids, the management hopes to have a positive influence on the employees' decision. For the time being, the change in company car regulations can only be applied to the vehicles of the sales department or people in management positions. "We hope that suitable hybrid models will soon be available from the vehicle manufacturers for service and assembly use, so that the conversion of the fleet can be implemented quickly there as well," adds the CFO.

Last year, STÖBICH had already completely converted the lighting of the production facilities at the manufacturing site to LED technology. Likewise, for some years now, the company has been offering the option of leasing bicycles so that people can even do without a car altogether on their way to work. E-charging columns and a large-scale photovoltaic system on the roof of the production facility at the headquarters are soon to follow.
