Interesting facts and technical terms for safety containers

Today companies are confronted with a variety of requirements regarding on-the-job safety, employee protection, operational safety, laboratory safety, fire prevention, fire protection or environment protection - Rötzmeier Sicherheitsbehälter helps you to comply with these requirements.

Our safety containers are made of rust-free stainless steel and are used in different areas: for in-plant use in industrial companies, as laboratory containers in labs and research institutes, as storage containers for safe storage of hazardous or dangerous goods (e.g. inflammable, toxic, corrosive) or as transportation vessel for transportation on public traffic routes.

Typical mediums that are filled into our containers are flammable, toxic or corrosive materials (e.g. solvents, acids or other chemicals). The containers are protected against infiltration of fire, providing a safe and explosion-resistant storage for your flammable materials in the event of a fire. Rötzmeier Sicherheitsbehälter are produced in Germany (Made in Germany) and are an example for excellent German engineering, relying on both, high-quality materials and high quality standards in the manufacturing process.

Our product portfolio consists of five different product groups:

• Safety cans: safety can for in-plant use, designed for handling of smaller quantities (1 to 5 liters) - we offer metering cans (with precise metering device) and screw cans (with screw cap)
• Safety canisters: safety canister for in-plant use - our safety canisters are designed for different quantities (5 to 20 liters) - we offer metering canisters (with precise metering device) and screw canisters (with screw cap)
• Safety barrels: safety barrel for in-plant use, designed for handling of bigger quantities (10 to 50 liters) - small barrels have a metering device, all others have a screw cap or a self-closing tap
• Transportation containers: safety containers for the transport of dangerous materials on public traffic routes - these containers do have a certificate allowance of the "Bundesanstalt für Materialprüfung und -forschung" (BAM, responsible German authority), transportation containers are available in different sizes - unlike non-transportation containers, transportation containers do not have a pressure control valve
• Funnels: Safety funnel to safely fill containers (avoiding sparking) we offer stainless steel funnels for all our safety containers - we differentiate between safety funnels (screwed together with the container) and plug-in funnels
