Every conveyor that passes through a fire wall punches a hole in your compartmentation. Conveyor system enclosures close that hole — automatically, on alarm, without stopping production the rest of the time.
The range covers box conveyors, tube conveyors, pallet lines and bespoke penetrations, with certified fire closures engineered around the material flow.
GEA is Ireland’s specialist partner for conveyor fire protection: design, installation, certification and annual testing.
Enquire NowKey features of conveyor enclosures
- Certified closures – tested fire protection for conveyor penetrations through walls and floors.
- Production-friendly – fully open to material flow in normal operation; closes only on alarm.
- Every conveyor type – belt, roller, tube, pallet and overhead systems.
- Fail-safe closing – closure guaranteed even during power failure.
- Interface engineering – conveyor stop, product-clearance logic and alarm integration handled.
- Annual certification – scheduled inspection and documentation for insurers and fire officers.
Conveyor closures protect production plants, baggage handling, intralogistics hubs and any facility where material flow crosses fire compartments.

Close the hole in the fire wall
A fire-rated wall is only as good as its weakest penetration — and a conveyor opening that cannot close is exactly that. Enclosure systems mount around the conveyor line and stay out of the way of production; when the alarm activates, product is cleared from the opening and the certified closure seals the penetration. The result: compartmentation your fire strategy can actually rely on.
Benefits of conveyor fire protection
- Compartmentation kept intact: penetrations no longer undermine the fire strategy.
- No production penalty: systems are fully open to material flow until the alarm sounds.
- Engineered per line: each closure is designed around conveyor type, product and clearances.
- Insurance confidence: certified systems with documented annual testing.
- One partner: design, supply, installation and lifetime servicing from GEA.
Types of conveyor system enclosures
- Sliding closures – the standard solution for box and belt conveyor openings.
- Cross-sectional closures – sealing complex or tight penetrations.
- Tube conveyor closures – certified protection for tube and pipe conveyors.
- Fire dampers for conveyors – compact closures for smaller openings.
- Bespoke closure systems – engineered for non-standard lines and geometries.
Product Installation
Installation & maintenance of conveyor closures
Conveyor closures sit at the junction of fire safety and production engineering — both have to work. We design the interface, install and commission the closure against your alarm and conveyor controls, and carry out the annual tests that keep the certification valid.

Frequently Asked Questions
A conveyor line passing through a fire wall creates a permanent opening an ordinary fire door cannot close. Certified conveyor closures seal that penetration automatically on alarm, restoring the wall’s fire rating.
No. In normal operation the closure is fully open to material flow. It closes only when the fire alarm activates — with conveyor-stop and product-clearance logic so the opening is clear before sealing.
Belt, roller, chain, pallet, tube and overhead conveyors — with closure geometry engineered around each line, including bespoke solutions for non-standard penetrations.
Yes. Systems carry fire resistance certification, and annual testing with documentation keeps insurers and fire officers satisfied.
Usually yes. We survey the penetration, the conveyor and the controls, then engineer a closure that retrofits with minimal production disruption.
