At the time of commissioning, the fully automated deep-freeze warehouse was described as "Germany's largest refrigerator". By adding an extension to an existing warehouse, KLM was able to increase its total capacity to 90,000 storage spaces. The fire protection solution, based on oxygen reduction OxyReduct® from WAGNER, guarantees uninterrupted operation. The VdS-approved solution is also cost- and energy-efficient.
KLM, a subsidiary of the logistics service provider NewCold, has been offering full-service logistics for over 30 years. At the company's headquarters in Rheine, goods in the amount of 7,000 pallets are handled.
Precautionary Fire Prevention
The nitrogen needed to reduce the oxygen level is directly obtained from the ambient air in a particularly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly manner using generators with VPSA technology. WAGNER has installed three VPSA systems at KLM, each with a supply volume of 240 cubic metres per hour; one of them serves as a fifty percent redundancy to meet the emergency concept requirements established in the building permit.
Georg Grewe, former Managing Director of KLM Logistik
Our products have to be protected against fire and our automated logistics processes maintained under all circumstances. OxyReduct® with VPSA technology has also impressed us in terms of energy efficiency.
