HOSPITALS RELY ON AMFE FOR PROTECTION
Fire protection is of crucial importance – especially in sensitive areas such as escape and rescue routes, where the requirements are particularly high. In hospitals in particular, where the protection of patients and staff is a top priority, every possible risk must be minimized. Hospitals are therefore increasingly relying on innovative safety measures such as the installation of automatic mini fire extinguishing unit (AMFE) in drinks and snack vending machines. Together with our partner Multicomsystem OHG, a total of seven mini fire extinguishing units were integrated into the vending machines of a Hamburg hospital. The installation of this life-saving technology, which can be carried out easily and efficiently both as a retrofit kit and in new equipment, also impressed the technicians on site. With this measure, the Hamburg hospital is underlining its commitment to the highest safety standards and demonstrating how innovative solutions can further improve fire protection to ensure a safe environment for everyone.
The advantages of the AMFE are unmistakable. It detects the fire as soon as it starts, extinguishes it quickly and – above all – leaves no residue. Maintenance is possible with minimal effort thanks to the pressure gauge. In the event of a technical defect and fire inside the snack vending machine, the event is immediately reported to the building services or fire department via a connection to the fire alarm control panel, in addition to direct automatic extinguishing on site.
PROJEKTZUSAMMENFASSUNG
The Berlin-based start-up Rechargy uses an innovative business model that involves renting out power banks and setting up “Power Banks To Go” stations. The Rechargy stations are located in public areas and are therefore subject to strict fire safety and security requirements. Thanks to AMFE, the charging and power electronics areas are reliably protected.
EWM GmbH, a leading welding technology supplier, maintains high quality standards backed by advanced testing and safety systems. To prevent operational failures, the company focused on protecting electrical components. In late 2023, intelligent mini fire extinguishers were installed in nine electrical systems in cooperation with Wichmann to suppress incipient fires directly at their source.
