Complete System or Components

Automatic fire curtain system installed in a modern airport terminal for commercial fire safety and compartmentation.

The ANLIN Automatic Fire Curtain System is engineered to form a reliable fire-resistant barrier across building openings when a fire alarm is triggered. It seamlessly combines fire-resistant curtain fabric, a high-performance tubular motor, an intelligent controller, a roller tube, side guide rails, and a weighted bottom bar into a cohesive, project-specific system.

During standard daily operation, the curtain is electrically controlled. Upon receiving a fire signal, the controller activates the preset emergency sequence to lower the curtain safely to its designated fire position. In the event of a complete mains power failure, the integrated gravity fail-safe mechanism takes over, allowing the curtain to descend securely without requiring external electrical power.

Every system is precision-manufactured to match actual opening dimensions, fire ratings, and control integration needs. ANLIN provides flexible supply options, delivering either fully integrated fire curtain systems or separate core components (such as motors, controllers, and fabric) tailored for local assembly and OEM/ODM requirements.

How Does a Gravity Fail-Safe Fire Curtain Work?

The system elegantly merges smooth motorized daily operation with fail-safe emergency gravity descent, ensuring maximum protection even under severe crisis conditions.

Key operational workflows include:

✔ Normal Mode: Motor raises/lowers curtain electrically with electronic limits.
✔ Fire Alarm: Signal reaches controller; curtain follows programmed emergency sequence.
✔ Positioning: Moves directly to required fire protection boundary.
✔ Power Failure: Curtain operates independently of motor drive during blackouts.
✔ Weighted Bottom Bar: Provides the precise downward mechanical force for gravity closing.

✔ Fail-Safe Security: Absolute reliability when mains electricity is unavailable.

Typical Operating Sequence

• Standard Activation: Normal Mode → Fire Signal Received → Emergency Sequence Activated → Curtain Descends → Fire Position
• Emergency Power Loss: Complete Power Failure → Gravity Fail-Safe Activated → Curtain Descends Without Mains Power

Note: The actual fire sequence can be fully configured according to specific project design parameters and fire alarm interfaces.

Automatic Fire Curtain System Components

A complete ANLIN fire curtain system consists of highly matched mechanical, electrical, and textile components:

Fire-Resistant Curtain Fabric

Multi-layer fire-resistant fabric forming the main barrier. Features an approximate total thickness of 10.4 mm for applicable configurations.

Tubular Motor

Compactly housed inside the roller tube. Sized based on width, drop height, fabric weight, and load requirements rather than opening size alone.

Fire Curtain Controller

Manages signals and curtain movement. One central controller supports up to 12 motors for multi-motor sectional arrangements.

Roller Tube

Robust structural tube designed to support and neatly store the curtain fabric when fully retracted.

Side Guide Rails

Keeps the curtain precisely aligned during deployment and secures the edges securely after closure.

Weighted Bottom Bar & Accessories

Keeps fabric taut and supplies dead weight for gravity descent, alongside protective headboxes and brackets.

Where Are Automatic Fire Curtains Used?

Automatic fire curtains are deployed where openings must remain completely accessible during routine daily operations while forming critical fire compartmentation barriers during building emergencies:

• Elevator Entrances: Integrated around shaft openings per fire safety requirements.
• Corridors & Passageways: Retracted during normal use; deploys instantly upon emergency signal.
• Atriums & Large Openings: Multi-motor group controls match wide structural spans.
• Commercial & Public Hubs: Shopping centers, hotels, office towers, and transportation facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gravity fail-safe fire curtain?

A gravity fail-safe fire curtain allows the curtain to descend securely via a weighted bottom bar if normal electrical power is interrupted, avoiding total reliance on motor-driven closing during emergencies.

Can the fire curtain connect to existing fire alarm systems?

Yes. The controller receives external fire alarm signals. Signal interfaces and control sequences are reviewed prior to production to ensure flawless compatibility.

Can one controller operate multiple fire curtain motors?

Yes. One central controller can support up to 12 motors depending on the selected configuration.

Can we purchase individual motors, controllers, and fabric only?

Yes. ANLIN supports complete turnkey systems as well as standalone core components for local assembly and manufacturing.
