Explosion isolation system Q-Bic wins the Red Dot Design Award
When it comes to the winners of design awards , most people think of futuristic automobiles , furnishings or everyday objects . However , for the first time , protective systems have now also received an award . Two in-house developments from the German safety manufacturer REMBE , known as the world market leader in the explosion safety scene , have received the Red Dot Design Award : the Q-Bic extinguishing barrier and the design study for a new generation of the EXKOP quench valve , both products for explosion isolation . The REMBE engineers have thus demonstrated that , besides the highest standards of safety and reliability , they also have an eye for the visual .
However , not only does the new Q-Bic isolation system look good but the design has been developed with functional and hygienic aspects in mind . The Q-Bic extinguishing barrier offers a variety of visible and invisible highlights : the firmly attached transport handles , which allow safe installation and transport of the extinguishing barriers , are obvious . They are very helpful , especially when the Q-Bic is installed in hard-to-reach places or at high altitudes . Thanks to the convex dirt protection cap , neither water nor dust deposits can accumulate on the Q-Bic . The “ inner values ” of the Q-Bic are also remarkable : the blue-green extinguishing powder QXP prevents cross-contamination and the patented SJX nozzle ensures an optimum application of the extinguishing powder . Thanks to the specially developed release mechanism without explosives , the Q-Bic can be easily imported worldwide . The Q-Bic is particularly suitable for large pipes attached to dryers and filters or complex shaft geometries such as conveyors and elevators .

Q-BIC AS CHEMICAL BARRIER
The Q-Bic explosion isolation system registers the beginning of an explosion and extinguishes the explosion flames within milliseconds by introducing the extinguishing powder QXP . The special nozzle system SJX ensures optimum distribution of the extinguishing powder in the pipe . This guarantees a secured isolation . The explosion isolation system Q-Bic is specifically suitable for large pipes or complex shafts geometrics for example in conveyors or bucket elevators .
