Fire protection for transport containers

The challenges

... in fire protection for transport containers are manifold and include various aspects.

• High fire load: spontaneously flammable or reactive substances can trigger dangerous reactions.
• Fire resistance: containers must be fire-resistant to prevent the spread of fire.
• Fire spread: smoke and heat development can jeopardise the safety of means of transport.
• Effective choice of extinguishing agent: water-based extinguishing agents are often unsuitable. Specific gas or aerosol extinguishing systems are preferable.
• Accessibility: during transport, extinguishing using conventional systems is impossible.
• Labelling: compliance with international regulations (e.g. ADR, IMDG Code) is mandatory.
• Monitoring: temperature and humidity control are essential, especially for long transport routes.

Comprehensive fire protection for transport containers requires fire-resistant materials, suitable extinguishing methods, and strict safety regulations. Only preventive measures can minimise the risk and ensure safety during transport.

Our fire extinguishing system: AeroPro

Integrate our AeroPro extinguishing system into your fire protection concept!

Aerosol fire extinguishing systems can easily be integrated into transport containers. They can be configured with electronic, thermal, or pneumatic triggers and respond in seconds. The alarm is signalled with signal lights and acoustic signals.

In the event of a fire, AeroPro has a dual effect: it removes the oxidising agent from the fire and ensures molecular cooling.
