Fire Spillbarrier - Protection against flammable liquids
The Anhamm Fire Spillbarrier is an automatic fire spill barrier that offers a specially designed solution for containing flammable liquids and liquid fires. Its purely mechanical operation guarantees maximum safety - independent of electrical or hydraulic energy sources.
Fully automatic retention of flammable liquids
- Step 1
Fluid intake
First, any liquid that enters is completely absorbed by all the openings in the liquid stop barrier tray.
- Step 2
Automatic triggering
The spill containment system is activated simply by collecting the spill in the spill containment tray and allowing it to float to the top.
- Step 3
Sealing & Retention
Finally, springs fold the barrier into an upright and fully sealed closed position.
Innovative solutions for maximum safety
The Anhamm Fire Spillbarrier offers a reliable and energy-independent solution for the containment of flammable liquids in storage rooms and production facilities. With its patented mode of operation, it works fully automatically and effectively prevents the spread of fires.

Tested pursuant to FM Approval Standard 4985
A flammability test was conducted on the Anhamm Flammable Liquid Stop Barrier pursuant to FM Approval Standard 4985. The barrier was subjected to a fire with an easily combustible medium which burned for more than 30 minutes at 50 MW.
The test was executed successfully and the subsequent leak-proof test was passed without objection - 100% leak-proof. Production is subject to third-party control through FM Approvals.

FAQ
Questions about the Fire Spillbarrier
Answers from our product specialists.
At the customer’s request, we can install a limit switch in the post of the folding bulkhead, where the customer can have an approved electrician connect a flashing warning light or an acoustic warning signal, for example.
No, we adapt the design of the Spillbarrier to suit the conditions on site. We can build into any slope.
The Anhamm Spillbarrier is currently the only spillbarrier that can be lifted manually without much effort, using a tyre iron at most. The weight of the flap is reduced by the pre-tensioned springs. The flap must be lifted briefly by hand to the pivot point and swings automatically into the closed position. Once the flap has been raised, the barrier tray can be cleaned and returned to its original position by hand.
