The BL / BED-PM Spill and Retention Barrier is a fully automatic containment system designed to provide reliable protection against hazardous liquid spills, leaks, or floods. Built for industrial and commercial environments, this barrier offers rapid activation, secure sealing, and versatile control options for both standard and explosion-risk zones.

Constructed with a reinforced aluminium barrier body and a chemical-resistant seal, the system mounts directly onto existing floor surfaces with minimal installation requirements. Its pneumatic operating system provides reliable, fail-safe closure on signal loss or emergency activation, and the ATEX-compliant design makes it suitable for use in classified hazardous areas.
