They are the unsung heroes of fire safety. If a fire breaks out, a fire shutter must fulfill its role as an engineered safety device, in order to hold back the spread of fire and smoke, and to save lives and property. </p> <p>Fire rated doors and shutters are applied in various places such as industrial, commercial, institutional and retail projects where fire protection is required. Certified fire shutters with proper fitting is necessary to avoid any damage to property and lives. </p> <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Preventing fire spread </span><br /> A proficient framework for fire prevention must be created to secure the business property against fire. Different sorts of equipment should work hand in hand to limit the damage that fire can cause. Gandhi Automation's fire-rated rolling shutters are among the modern equipment that is used to compartmentalise a building in order to help prevent the fire from spreading. The company is engaged in the business of supplying fire rated rolling shutters that are manufactured using high grade galvanised steel. The company's whole range is planned in consistence with worldwide quality measures.</p> <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Auto-closing mechanism</span><br /> Fire doors and shutters designed by Gandhi Automation are equipped with fusible link mechanism. <br /> Upon sensing a temperature of 74°C, the fusible link mechanism releases the brake of the motor and allows it to descend by gravity. <br /> The operating system can be directly wired for activation by fire alarm system or smoke detectors.</p> <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sturdy construction</span><br /> Fire doors and shutters are constructed from cold rolled galvalume, galvanised steel, stainless steel laths with a minimum thickness of 0.9 mm. The interlocked profiles are securely held using specially-designed profile ends which act as a curtain alignment system, thus eliminating lateral movement of the profiles. They can also resist fire up to four hours. Gandhi and Warringtonfire (Australia) comply with BS 476: Part 22: 1987 standards for stability and integrity for up to four hours. </p> <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Inspection and maintenance </span><br /> Frequent inspection and maintenance of the components is of utmost importance. At Gandhi Automation, the maintenance team checks that all parts continue to function correctly without compromise. They are designed and constructed to suit a full-range of industrial and commercial applications as well. </p> <p>All doors are provided with a complete electric operation and are linked to the fire alarm system or local smoke detectors to initiate the dropping of the shutter curtain.</p> <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Modes of activation Industrial:</span><br /> a)Self closing by means of a fusible link activated at a temperature of 68<span style="color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">°</span>C and fitted to the underside of the hood. <br /> b)Shutter closing is initiated by means of a 24-volt solenoid release device connected to the fire alarm or smoke detector system, and which automatically resets when the shutter curtain is fully opened by pressing the up button and when the alarm has been turned off. <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Commercial:</span><br /> a)Fused link activation activated at 68<span style="color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">°</span>C which sends a signal to a relay to close the shutter under power down from the main supply or from the battery back up unit.<br /> b)Shutter closing is initiated by means of a fire alarm relay which mimics the action of a solenoid on a conventional shutter and powers down the shutter from the main supply or from the battery backup unit. A volt-free open signal is required from the fire alarm.</p>
