    • Fire protection curtains

      Fire protection curtains

      In case of fire, fire protection curtains close wall and ceiling openings. Their construction (roll-down or folding technique) and the use of different fabrics provide for a wide range of applications as well as different protection goals, classifications and time classes. The casing and guide rails of the highly flexible systems blend almost invisibly into the building and allow plenty of scope for sophisticated architecture and open room concepts.

    • Conveyor system closures

      Conveyor system closures

      Various production and logistics processes call for the most diverse types of conveyor systems. If these conveyor lines pass through fire-retardant or fire-resistant walls or ceilings, the openings required for this purpose must be provided with fire protection closures to prevent the spread of fire through the conveyor system or the goods conveyed. In the event of fire, conveyor system closures (CSC for short) must close these openings immediately and automatically. Fire resistance classified according to DIN EN 13501-2 is just as important as the smooth clearance of the closing areas in the event of a fire.

    • Smoke curtains

      Smoke curtains

      A smoke apron is a part of a smoke control system which also includes other components such as natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (EN 12101-2) and mechanical smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (EN 12101-3). Smoke aprons restrict the movement of combustion gases within a building in case of fire.

      Once closed, smoke protection curtains (SPC) restrict the passage of smoke during the phase of fire formation, so that in the event of a fire, there is enough time to rescue people and animals from the room behind the curtain and to recover material assets without the need for respiratory equipment.

    • Tube sealings

      Tube sealings

      The solution for issues with fire protection dampers in ventilation and air conditioning systems in conveyor processes. Stöbich offers fire protection for pneumatic conveyor lines the closing elements of which are not exposed to the flow of conveyed material. This way, the closing element cannot be damaged or contaminated by abrasive conveyed goods.

    • Control units

      Control units

      Each automatic fire protection system needs a control unit. They are critical to safety, because a failure of this function means that the entire investment into a fire protection sealing has been in vain. Control units coordinate both fire detection and interaction with other control units, such as higher-level building control systems or clearing of the closing area of conveyor system closures.

What consequences does the new model building code have on fire protection? How can accessibility and fire protection be reconciled? How important is planning and the quality of the assembly work on site? These and many other questions were addressed at the 7th Czotscher fire protection day. 115 architects and planners from throughout the Rhine-Main region came to the event.

The Czotscher fire protection day always takes place at different, special locations in the Rhine-Main region. This year it was held at the Schuhbeck’s Check Inn in Egelsbach. Reputed specialists included book author Karl-Olaf Kaiser and Professor Gerd Geburtig. In 2016, the aim was again to create platform upon which manufacturers and planners could discuss important issues. Again, Stöbich, as a leading manufacturer of textile fire protection systems, was invited to present its versatile curtain systems.

This year's event focused the importance of the correct realisation of building-related fire protection elements. At the latest since the disaster at the Berlin airport, it is not only building professionals who are aware of the importance of fire protection and correct planning and installation on site. However there are frequently problems at building sites resulting from growing cost pressures and wage dumping. "A fire protection door will not fulfil its function if it is not installed correctly and precisely in line with the manufacturer's instructions. This is something only trained specialists can do," says Heiko Rinker, authorised signatory at Czotscher. This applies to doors, gates, dampers and textile fire protection systems equally. "Unfortunately, these kinds of safety-relevant elements are often fitted by people with no relevant expertise, which can ultimately lead to problems," says Heiko Rinker. It is therefore advisable to make use of the expertise of the manufacturers and their employees to guarantee that these systems function reliably in a fire.

For the 2016 event, both the chamber of architects and also the chamber of engineers again guarantee the maximum number of possible training points. And like at every fire protection day, there was also a special point on the agenda. This time, Christian Renner, who chaired the event, welcomed a very famous guest. Former football professional Andreas Möller answered questions about the premiere division and European championship, and also spoke about motivation, team spirit and ambition.
