Gruner actuators provide you with more latitude for accomplishing new technological solutions. With Gruner actuators, you can extend your range of potential applications, save costs and improve operational reliability.
Hotels frequently fall victim to fires that can break out in kitchens, saunas or reception rooms. A danger to life tends to be posed more frequently by toxic smoke than by the actual fire. In the event of a fire, the highest priority therefore needs to be the containment of toxic gases, smoke and flames.
The fire protection and smoke protection dampers in the ventilation systems must be able to function perfectly, even under extremely arduous conditions.
Gruner developed its fire protection damper actuator to a minimalism design, a unit capable of functioning reliably and rapidly in serious situations. In this design, the development team at Gruner scaled down the componentry required and focused on using wear-resistant parts. This extends service life and improves functional reliability.
All the major parts in these actuators are made of steel, making them able to cope with temperatures above 120 degrees – even over extended periods. A temperature switch with LEDs clearly shows the status of the damper and makes troubleshooting and maintenance easier.
The actuators developed by Gruner can close dampers in just 35 seconds and can be controlled by building management control systems. The entire system can be linked up by Modbus to assure central monitoring and reporting in the event of a fire.
In a hotel at the main railway station in Munich, 400 fire protection dampers made by geba Bartholomäus GmbH and specially adapted actuators from Gruner were installed. The actuators for fire protection and smoke protection can be supplied as spring return actuators (series 340 and 360) and as smoke protection actuators (series 342 and 362).
Gruner super-fast running actuators deliver operational reliability in tough environments: they can help to control volume flows in laboratories, cleanrooms and fume hoods.
Whenever it gets critical, the actuator needs to respond quickly and safely. For this, short closing times are essential. However, preventive maintenance and the ability to communicate when power supply is interrupted are other important factors.
The Gruner range of super-fast running actuators offers response times of 5 seconds and less. With the optional serial interface, very precise positioning is possible.
The super-fast running actuators developed by Gruner are energy-efficient and safe. They provide information on preventive maintenance and can maintain communication links for up to 2 minutes when there is an interruption in the power supply.
The Gruner 328CS and 328QS super-fast running actuators with fail-safe can adapt immediately to suit changed conditions and can reliably control even high air speeds. For applications that also involve positioning during interruptions in the power supply, a specialist type 328QS with fail-safe can be supplied.
Gruner actuators for fire protection and smoke protection function under extreme conditions and cover a wide range of torques.
With smoke protection actuators 342 and 362 as well as spring return actuators 340 and 360, Gruner offers two types of actuators that are able to cover all torque requirements for fire protection and smoke protection in Europe completely.
Gruner solutions: leading technology with individual benefits. Specifically our new HVAC controllers in the 327 range enable OEM partners to achieve reduced inventory with maximum functional diversity.
