Apollo
Product Information
Apollo is an EN 12101-2 and VdS-certified double-flap ventilator designed for efficient smoke and heat exhaust in fire emergencies. Ideal for industrial, commercial, and public buildings, it combines high-quality components, corrosion-resistant aluminium, and EPDM seals for low air permeability. Available in thermally broken, insulated, or single-skin versions with polycarbonate, insulated, or glass flaps.

Technical Information
Dimensions
- Unit width: from 1000 mm to 2500 mm (in mm increments)
- Unit length: from 1000 mm to 3000 mm (in mm increments)
Base Options
The following base options are available:
- single-skin base
- double-skin base with insulation
- 100% thermally broken base
Flaps
The Apollo ventilator flaps have either insulated aluminium panels or various kinds of polycarbonate multi-wall sheets or insulated glass panels and are clamped in frames made of extruded aluminium profiles. The sheets are installed in such a way that thermal expansion is allowed for, and so there is no damage from screws.
The flaps are set at slightly inclined angles, allowing rainwater to drain off, thus preventing them from getting dirty.
The flaps have been subjected to a wide range of tests, e.g. for impact resistance, resistance to hail, acoustic characteristics, and many others.
The following flap variants are available:
- 16 mm thick polycarbonate multi-skin sheet
Colour: grey non-transparent, transparent or non-transparent
- 16 mm thick hail-resistant polycarbonate multi-skin sheet
Colour: non-transparent
- 10 mm polycarbonate + 6 mm solid sheet
Colour: transparent or non-transparent
- 32 mm thick polycarbonate multi-skin sheet
Colour: transparent or non-transparent
Double-skin insulated aluminium flaps
Glass flaps
- Equipped with standard insulated glass thickness (28mm,30mm,32mm).
- Equipped with customer-specified insulating glass (thickness from 24mm up to 40mm and maximum weight 45 kg/m²)
Controls
The Apollo flap ventilator is opened or closed either electrically or pneumatically by two drive units in each case.
The following drives are available:
- 24 V DC electric actuators
- 230 V AC electric actuators – These require much smaller cables compared to 24 V DC actuators. This greatly reduces cabling costs.
- Double action pneumatic cylinders
The drives are designed to exactly match the particular requirements of the project, which results in lower operating and cabling costs.
Thermal Performance (U-Value)
- Up to 1.31 W/m²K depending on product variant selected
