Product information „PROTECTO F-SAFE BLS R2 Fire protection rack container“

Short Description

The F-SAFE Fire Protection Shelf Container BLS R2 offers a safe and standards-compliant solution for storing lithium batteries. Thanks to its robust construction with 90-minute fire resistance (F90 / REI90) and an integrated spill tray to protect floors and waters, the container meets high requirements for fire protection and safety.

The BLS R2 series is designed as a fire-protected double rack and includes several container sizes with different storage volumes.

Since every fire-protected shelf container is a unique project solution and must accurately consider requirements such as battery type, storage quantity, installation location, fire protection class, and technical equipment, we provide you with a structured project questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire, we can offer you your individual quotation.

Construction & Equipment

The fire-protected shelf containers of the BLS R2 series consist of a robust steel construction and are designed for industrial use as well as outdoor installation.
Construction features:
  • sturdy welded steel construction
  • insulated walls with high thermal resistance
  • corrosion-protection coating in RAL 9002 Gray-White
  • double rack with shelf width 270 cm
  • lower storage level with galvanized grates
  • upper storage level on rack traverses with intrusion protection
  • integrated spill tray made of sheet steel according to WHG/AwSV
This design enables safe and space-saving storage of larger quantities of containers.

Storage & Safety

The BLS R2 series containers enable safe and structured storage of hazardous substances in different container types.
Safety features:
  • REI 90 fire protection inside and outside
  • self-closing double-leaf doors
  • integrated spill tray for leaking liquids
  • structured storage through shelving system
Due to the container construction, a fire event is confined to a defined area and neighboring buildings or facilities are protected.

Electrical & Fire Protection

The fire-protected containers can be equipped with additional technical components depending on the area of application.
Possible extensions:
  • technical ventilation systems
  • electrical installations
  • integration of fire alarm or sensor systems
  • additional fire protection technology
The construction meets the fire protection requirements according to F90 / REI90.

Grounding & Protective Measures

For safe operation, the containers include the following protective measures.
  • integrated spill tray made of sheet steel
  • bottom with Protecto Yxolit long-term corrosion protection coating
  • ready-to-operate delivery of the container
  • stable construction for safe operation even outdoors
These measures ensure safe setup and long-term use.

Optional Accessories

The fire-protected shelf containers can be adapted to different applications.
Optional equipment:
  • pallet racks as additional storage level
  • additional wire trays
  • technical ventilation
  • electrical installations
  • additional storage and safety systems

The equipment can be individually tailored to the respective operational requirements.

FAQ

That depends on various factors that need to be considered:

  • size of the battery(ies)
  • condition (e.g. non-critical, defective, critically defective or prototype)
  • power

Transport boxes are available in many different sizes and specifications. The packaging group for which the box is suitable is indicated for each product.

Even if the batteries are not critical, remember to protect them from shocks and to order appropriate filling material if it is not already included in the box.

Yes. Should a battery reach a critical state and cause a fire, separating the batteries will prevent the fire from spreading and multiplying.

Generally, the insulation and protection material should line all sides of the container. The batteries are stored between individual layers.

We also have containers in our program that already have the protective material integrated into the outer wall. No further protective layer is necessary here.

The technical principles for storage and transportation solutions are very similar. The transport boxes are also subjected to extensive tests in accordance with ADR (drop test, fire test, etc.) to confirm compliance with the ADR regulations. The packaging regulations are extensive and regulated by law.
There are currently no comparable regulations for storage. Nevertheless, manufacturers of storage boxes regularly carry out appropriate tests.
The right container depends on the type and size of the battery to be shipped or stored.

The transportation of batteries is subject to ADR regulations.

The number, size and weight, energy density and condition of the batteries are crucial parameters for finding a suitable transport container for lithium-ion batteries. The selection process is complex and should be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. We have a trained hazardous materials officer on our team. Please feel free to contact us.

Plastic containers are cheaper but not as durable as metal containers. They are suitable, for example, for non-critical batteries, defective batteries, prototypes and end-of-life batteries. They can be used for both storage and transportation.

Metal containers are required, for example, when dealing with critically defective batteries.

The exact packaging instructions for these cases can be found in the ADR or by consulting a certified hazardous materials specialist.

To date, there are no legal requirements for the storage of lithium-ion batteries, which does not mean that they should be stored without suitable protective measures.

It is best to check with your insurer to find out which measures they recognize as suitable in the event of a claim.

For example, a suitable box could already be recognized as spatial separation.
