Steel escalator fire shutters are designed to close openings between floors, in ceiling or roof structures.  Even a special version for building in skylights can be manufactured.

They are manufactured on specific request, and the dimensions are adapted to various requirements. Before dispatch, ale parts of the shutter are assembled, all operation tests in the manufacturing plant are performed so that the assembly at customer was as simple as possible.

The main quality required is the fire resistance of these shutters. Shutter fire stops ESCALATOR SHUTTER have fire resistance EW 15 DP1. In order to increase fire resistance or for bigger dimension of the shutter, spacing or spraying (cooling with water) can be utilized. Thus the fire resistance up to EW 120 DP1 or EI 120 DP1 can be achieved.

The fire shutter ESCALATOR SHUTTER was successfully tested in the PAVUS a.s. test institute, and was granted a certificate No. 216C5a/2007/0023.


The manufacturer issues Declaration of Conformity for individual commissions, within the interpretation of Act No. 22/1997 Coll., as amended.

• Technical properties

• The shutter is made of specially formed steel lamellas of 76 mm height, with 1.2 mm sheet metal thickness. Both ends of lamellas are connected to drive chain.
• The design allows efficient solution of a fire section for opening passing through the ceiling.
• Standard dimensions of the shutter are to 5 x 15 m, bigger dimensions are possible upon consultation.
• Standard dimension of the winding box 1145 x 1275 mm (for the stop opening to 9 m).
• The shutter is controlled electrically (400V) by means of a driving system (electric motor with gearbox and electromagnetic brake) with an emergency control by means of a crank.
• It allows automatic closing from EPS switchboard (by 24V DC signal or potential-free contact).
• Electronic control of individual functions of the shutter proceeds by means of a special AOP control unit, including control elements (buttons or key control).
• This type of fire shutter allows mechanical activation by means of safety fuse – the shutter is fully functional and without backup supply, or without a battery backup source.
• Local autonomous fire sensors, optical and acoustic signalling can be supplied together with the shutter.
• These steel shutters have approximate weight: box 450 kg per 1 m of width, shutter 24 kg per 1 m².
• The speed of the shutter closing is approx. 160 mm/s.
• Standard surface treatment of the shutter is effected by cold galvanizing, upon an agreement, the shutters can be delivered painted in a shade selected from the RAL sampler.
