Cabinet for Flammables + Chemicals, Acids and Bases - KEMFIRE 1100 A TYPE A

Combined Flammable and Chemicals Storage Cabinet – KEMFIRE Series

The Combined Flammable and Chemicals Storage Cabinet – KEMFIRE Series by Labor Security Systems delivers a robust, certified solution for storing flammables, corrosive substances, acids, and bases in laboratory environments across South Africa. These cabinets meet EN 14470-1, SANS 54470-1, and other European safety standards—making them suitable for both research and industrial use. Each cabinet is backed by a lifetime guarantee, ensuring reliable safety and long-term peace of mind.

 

Certified Dual-Purpose Safety Design

The KEMFIRE Series features a dual-compartment layout that separates flammable materials from corrosive chemicals. Available models include undercounter units like the 1000/50, 1200/50, 1500/50, and 1700/50 (Types A–E), as well as tall cabinets like the 600 A and 1100 A.

Each cabinet is built with electrogalvanized steel and coated in acid-resistant epoxy. The monolithic, double-walled structure includes fireproof insulation, self-closing doors, and intumescent gaskets that expand in high temperatures—sealing the internal compartments during a fire.

 

Safe Storage for Acids, Bases, and Flammables

Each cabinet includes:

  • Chemical compartment: Fitted with tray-style, height-adjustable shelves, a watertight base tray, and an optional Carbox® activated charcoal filter. The Cunctator® alert system indicates when replacement is needed. These components protect users from vapours while safely storing acids and bases.
  • Flammable compartment: Contains fire-tested insulation, Ignis-lock® fire-activated locks, inflatable heat-sealing gaskets, and internal ventilation with two certified safety valves. These features meet EN 14470-1 requirements for vapour management and fire containment.

 

Moreover, the self-closing doors activate at temperatures above 50 °C, providing passive fire safety—no electrical power required.

 

Engineered for Daily Lab Use

Designed with scientific professionals in mind, the KEMFIRE cabinets include:

  • Grounding to prevent static discharge
  • Anti-spark hinges and secure, lockable doors
  • Levelling feet for stability on uneven floors
  • Certified safety labels for fire and chemical hazards
