Belimo – leading in fire protection since 1978
Technology that saves lives

Belimo fire protection products can be found in the following building applications:
- Motorised fire dampers for the formation of fire zones – they provide the best protection against the spread of fire and smoke through ducts
- Motorised smoke control dampers – they keep escape and rescue routes smoke-free in case of fire

Why ensure fire protection in buildings?
Fires can be devastating to the economy and to people's lives. On the one hand, fires can cause enormous economic damage through the destruction of buildings and equipment. This can lead to loss of production, loss of jobs and other economic problems.
Fires can also cause tragic loss of life. In addition to physical injuries such as burns or smoke inhalation, fires can cause emotional and psychological trauma. This can be a heavy emotional burden, especially for people who lose their homes and possessions to fire.
In today's civilised world, people spend more than 90% of their time inside buildings and expect to be kept safe while they are there.
- 4,000 deaths a year from fires, an average of 11 per day.
- 192 people are admitted to hospital every day with serious fire injuries.
- 126 billion EUR, or 1% of European GDP, is lost every year due to fires.
- In a typical fire situation, an entire room can burn down in just 3 minutes.
Quick and simple retrofitting
Turning old into new, where MHS specialise - Building modernisation and retrofitting existing HVAC systems is becoming increasingly important. If an old actuator fails or an entire building is being modernised (dampers and valves often remain installed), finding replacement actuators is not always easy. But not with Belimo. Their product range includes universal, mechanically adaptable replacement actuators that offer flexible control. They can be parametrised on site for the respective requirements (torque, angle of rotation, running times and control signal). Actuators with terminals allow existing cables to be used. They also offer special components such as adapter plates and mounting kits as accessories, which are precisely matched to the requirements of replacements.
