Retail
Fire protection in the retail sector is subject to special legal regulations and challenges.
Requirements
Many factors play a crucial role here:
The size of the sales areas, the critical properties of goods such as easy flammability or high fire load, as well as the presence of a larger number of people who are more or less unfamiliar with the area. A sprinkler system that protects against the spread of fire is often the best solution for the retail trade: the atomisation of water binds smoke particles and soot and reduces contamination. Visibility improves, making it easier for people to escape. A further benefit is the environmental compatibility, as there is no need for the costly disposal of chemical extinguishing agents.

Holzhauer-Pumpen was significantly involved in developing the idea of supplying pump units in compact design more than 30 years ago. Since then, we have achieved the highest level of perfection when it comes to this design, which has enabled us to defend our technological leadership toward the competition.

Our HSA exhaust system is equipped with all the necessary connection parts and components that are compatible with our units. This significantly reduces assembly times. The individual components also have a much lower weight than conventional, welded steel pipe systems, which in turn allows for assembly with minimal effort.

The exhaust gas aftertreatment for our diesel systems regenerates automatically, is equipped with a pressure and temperature probe and is connected to the controller.

Noise has a negative effect on both the entire body as well as on our health. Diesel fire pump units are loud and subject to intense vibrations due to their design – thanks to our SCHALLEX system and other measures, such as encapsulation of the entire unit, we have managed to reduce vibrations and noise down to a minimum.
