    • 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.

    • Smoke protection curtains

      Smoke protection curtains

      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.

40 Years of STÖBICH

The Goslar-based family business has its origins in 1978, when a major fire in a Bahlsen factory caused millions in damage because the fire was spread to several parts of the factory through the necessary wall openings via conveyor systems. It was precisely for these openings in walls and ceilings that Dr Jochen Stöbich designed the first ➥ Fire protection closures for continuous conveyor technology - the basis for rapid development and the impetus for founding STÖBICH Brandschutz.

Courage and enthusiasm for technology - Made in Germany

Over 150 patent applications and 11 successfully established world firsts on the market

STÖBICH has developed into a fire protection specialist thanks to a wide range of fire tests and numerous successfully completed construction projects. The company has been setting standards for 40 years and is a world leader in terms of innovative strength and key technologies. The company's many years of experience and expertise have resulted in ground-breaking innovations time and time again. With every new development, the demand for improved design system properties and higher product protection targets grows.

STÖBICH has been listed in the lexicon of German world market leaders since 2010, was recognised as a top innovator in 2015, 2018 and 2021 and was also named Germany's innovation leader in 2020.

Pioneer in structural fire protection

The company's constant focus on innovation and the expertise it has built up over 40 years have resulted in ➥ fire protection solutions for almost every conceivable application. Particularly in the processing of fire and smoke-proof textiles, STÖBICH Fire Protection, as an innovation leader and using state-of-the-art materials, develops pioneering products that meet both architectural and technical requirements.

Thanks to the immense number ➥ of successfully completed construction projects and a wide range of fire tests, STÖBICH has developed into a fire protection specialist. The expertise gained during this time is reflected in the company's wide range of products and comprehensive range of services.

Our engineers' many years of experience and expertise are constantly producing pioneering innovations. With each new development, the demand for improved design system properties and higher protection targets for our products grows. The continuous improvement of ➥ STÖBICH solutions, new ideas and their cost-effective implementation have ensured the company's leading role in the field of fire protection for 40 years now.

Whether control system construction, sheet metal processing or fabric development, the expertise and manufacturing processes are located within the STÖBICH group of companies.

 

Textile fire protection

Fire protection should work, but not stand out! Because outstanding architecture is characterised by harmony of form and function. Textile fire protection combines aesthetics and functionality and enables open room concepts despite strict fire protection regulations. If the structural separation into fire compartments or the creation of large smoke barriers is required, many fire protection solutions interfere with the room concept, sometimes considerably.

Fire protection curtains, smoke barriers and textile smoke protection closures from STÖBICH are available in a very wide range of designs and offer almost invisible integration into sophisticated and open architecture. Variable installation variants, even round or corner penetration seals and the closure of extremely large wall and ceiling openings make fire and smoke protection curtains from STÖBICH true all-rounders for a wide range of protection objectives.

Fire protection for conveyor systems

The development has a history. In 1978, a major fire at the Bahlsen plant in Berlin caused millions in property damage. At that time, the conveyor belts affected had transported the fire to several areas of the hall complex. The avoidable damage in this case totalled around DM 6 million. The reason was that at that time there were neither functioning nor tested designs on the market for sealing off continuous conveyor systems.

Jochen Stöbich designed the first fire protection closures for this application. Whether as a sliding design, flap construction, swing door or sectional door: today, there is a suitable compartmentalisation solution for almost every installation situation and conveyor system variant. Every FAA must contribute to a trouble-free conveying process and must not hinder it. Conveyor system manufacturers therefore require safe interaction between the conveyor system and the FAA as well as a reliable closing process.

The performance of modern fire protection textiles

When looking at a fabric that is only 1 mm thick, it may be hard to believe that it can achieve a fire resistance that is in no way inferior to that of solid closures such as doors or gates. However, modern textiles can easily withstand temperatures of more than 1,000°C and have been proven to remain intact for several hours. What's more, curtain systems of this kind can even reduce radiation transmission by around 90 % with the right fabric structure. However, the production of these high-tech fabrics requires a great deal of development work as well as complex weaving, coating and laminating techniques.

Excellent fire protection

In over 40 years of inventiveness, innovative spirit and experience in preventive structural fire protection, STÖBICH has not only grown into a successful company. STÖBICH has become a brand that stands for customised fire protection solutions, for expertise in the development, manufacture and installation of conveyor system closures and fire or smoke protection curtains. A brand that creates long-term trust with customers through solution-orientated advice. A brand that continues to inspire architects and planners with modern concepts and ideas. Numerous prizes and awards testify to the success story of the Goslar-based family business.
