15 Nov Pilomat presents Road Blocker Mobile

DIN SPEC 91414 certified temporary solution, ideal for securing squares or areas intended for specific events Pilomat once again conquers the top the podium today: the new Road Blocker Mobile RBM presented at Sicurezza - designed by the company's R&D team and built in the Grassobbio production plant - has passed a structured series of tests that establish it as the absolute pinnacle of its category. Road Blocker Mobile is in fact not only certified IWA 14-1:2013 and DIN SPEC 91414-1-2021 but also has the highest handling level ever tested for products of this kind: MK2. Designed to protect, in a given period of time, streets, squares or external areas where demonstrations or events are to be held and where a massive number of people is therefore expected - from concerts to festivals, from open-air trade fairs to Christmas markets - RBM is a temporary solution as it only rests on the ground, without any type of fixing. Extremely versatile technology, capable of adapting to different situations and areas of different sizes, this new Pilomat solution offers a modular concept, allowing you to combine multiple fixed pedestrian modules and modules with a mobile element. In the raised position, the door of the mobile modules allows the protection of the location, while, if lowered (movement occurs manually, via an integrated handle), it leaves free passage for emergency vehicles. Precisely this versatility, combined with record-breaking security level, differentiates it from more traditional products normally chosen to protect places temporarily, such as concrete barriers. Equipped as standard with a front and rear ramp, the modules also have side ramps as an option and can be moved simply with a forklift or manual crane. Prepared for installation combined with Oktablock, a temporary bollard also designed by Pilomat, Road Blocker Mobile can not only be purchased by Municipalities, event organizers or other clients, but also rented by the latter, for an easier format and with lower economic impact. Easy fitting and removal - in just 20 minutes the product can be mounted on a finished surface - the new Pilomat mobile road blocker features a series of options, useful for embellishing the aesthetics of the product or further improving its comfort: from the Design kit, a elegant customizable aluminum cover available for the mobile door, the Lighting Strip kit for night lighting, up to the Comfort Kit, equipped with a decelerator for more comfortable closing of the platform, an ergonomic handle and a system capable of simplifying the installation of ramps. Finally, RBM can be painted in any RAL color and made even more resistant by a special marine anti-corrosion treatment, ideal if you are in areas with saline environmental conditions. As regards performance, the new RBM first passed the crash test, stopping a 7,500 kg truck moving at 50 km/h and is therefore now IWA 14-1:2013 certified. Not only that: our mobile road blocker is also certified DIN SPEC 91414-1-2021-04, a standard for which a displacement test is required, which saw the product move just 10 cm from the installation point, when the truck , without a run-up, it leaned on the mobile door and started to accelerate, both a manipulation test, which simulates a real attempt at tampering and which gave RBM a MK2 level. Pilomat is the first company to bring to market a DIN SPEC 91414 certified mobile road blocker with MK2 handling level. https://youtu.be/KbgOUwTrNUo?si=iBidCnU9OkFWs9iY ...

Pictures of Pilomat automatic bollards installed to delimit a pedestrian zone

10 May MAXIMUM SECURITY FOR PEDESTRIAN ZONES

During collective events that require the closure of the city center of Pomezia to traffic, the access of vehicles is selected by the mobile bollards of the Pilomat company. Closing streets and squares to traffic for creating pedestrian zones requires a considerable commitment of resources and personnel. Automatic bollards are the most suitable solution to operate - even remotely - with automatic procedures and in maximum safety, both in the perimeter delimitation and in allowing access to authorized vehicles only. The effectiveness, safety and practicality of these devices is demonstrated by their application in the urban center of Pomezia (Rome). Here, the area of Piazza Indipendenza – from the crossroads between via Roma and Largo Plinio and between via Virgilio and via Guerrazzi – is protected by automatic retractable bollards produced by Pilomat, one of the most important players in the control systems sector for vehicles. Functional, elegant and simple to use, these bollards allow the temporary closure to traffic of the historical area of the city, where the main buildings, spaces and public gardens are located and where events open to the public take place, selecting the vehicles that can access the pedestrian area. Mario Cinelli is the Technical Director of CEBI, the company that supplied and installed the Pilomat bollards: "We won the order by participating in the tender of the Municipality, with a turnkey offer and carrying out all the works on our own, without resorting to subcontractors. The works began with the stratigraphic survey of the ground down to a depth of 2 m, by means of a non-invasive survey with ground penetrating radar. We have thus identified the presence of underground utilities in one of the areas planned for the installation, therefore the position of a group of bollards has been modified. 12 Pilomat bollards were installed at a specific distance in order to prevent access to four-wheeled vehicles, divided into two groups of 7 and 5, according to the effective width of the road.” An excavation of about 1.80 m depth was carried out to lay below the road surface the foundation boxes in which the bollards fit. Once the bollards are positioned into the pit, the wiring to the mains is carried out and connected to the management station, which is installed in a floor housing. Finally, the excavation is closed and the road surface is restored. Emanuele Facioni (Municipality of Pomezia, Construction projects and Public Works Section) was Head of the procedure and Director of works: "The tender included specific requirements for the traffic safety, starting from the construction site. Thanks to the collaboration of the police, the traffic flow in one alternate direction was guaranteed during the works. Signaling traffic lights were provided with the aim to reduce the risk of accidental collision. In addition, each group of bollards is protected by a double magnetic loop which detects the presence of vehicles and, if the cylinder is rising, an immediate lowering command is given. The same occurs in the case of approaching vehicles equipped with approved acoustic signal. For the municipality of Pomezia it was the first installation of automatic traffic bollards. We are very satisfied both with the work performed and with the functionality of the devices, which have proved to be practical to use and efficient." A concentrate of technology The retractable mobile bollards installed in the urban center of Pomezia are of the Pilomat 275/P 600A model, result of a commitment of over 40 years in the security sector and a twenty-year specialization in retractable bollards. These products are highly recommended for traffic management, suitable to allow access to pedestrian areas as well as private, business and commercial car parks, as they have a wide range of accessories and possible customizations. The foundation box is made of steel (S235JR), while the mobile bollard (diameter 273 mm; elevation height 600 mm) is made of stainless steel (AISI 304; AISI 316) with anti-corrosion treatment and painting (anthracite gray standard, avialable also all RAL colours or brushed finish). Extremely reliable, the hydraulic unit (IP67 protection degree) that activates the bollard is built into in the frame and uses biodegradable oil. The 230V power supply is equipped with a heating resistance. The speed is 16 cm/s (lifting) and 30 cm/s (lowering), with reverse function for accident prevention purposes. If necessary, the release solenoid valve allows manual lowering. The command and control system is equipped with a two-channel radio receiver, transmitter and time programmer, for local (via radio control) and remote (GSM) activation. Card reader and key selector are also available. To ensure maximum safety in operation, the bollard is equipped with: traffic light (green and red lights); LED lighting and visual signaling device; intermittent buzzer; reflective adhesive band;Acoustic analyzer equipped with an emergency button, for automatic lowering of the bollards in the presence of emergency vehicles with approved sirens. Pilomat bollards are tested for intensive use (2,000 cycles/day; 3,000,000 cycles in total); they can operate between -40 and 70 °C and have an impact resistance starting from 40,000 J (without deformation) up to 250,000 J (breakthrough limit). The noise level during operation is 60 dB. All Pilomat bollards are provided with approval issued by the Ministry of Transport for application on public land. ...

10 Oct First durability test: 6000 cycles/day

Follow with us the test we are performing in our outdoor test area! Pilomat 275/K12EMB-900A, electromechanical bollard with brushless motor, is the product chosen for a durability test. What is a durability test? The goal of this test is to check that an active roadway barrier systems is capable of operating for 200,000 continuous cycles, without failure of any component necessary for continued operation of barrier. Cycle testing shall be performed in configuration where active barrier itself is located in outdoor location that will expose unit to full sunlight and effects of climatic conditions at test facility (pollution, rain, snow, sleet, etc.). In these days a special camera is monitoring our automatic bollard to check that it can handle 6000 cycles / day (about 245 cycles / hour) and no need of ordinary maintenance. A "cycle" means a complete extension and lowering of the bollard cylinder. https://youtu.be/L_-hZ5rSGOY The test is made in collaboration with TÜV Rheinland Italia which is remotely checking the daily cycles without faults. In addition, to count the effective number of movements we have installed our brand new product P-Connect, which allows for the remote activation of automatic Pilomat products but also for monitoring their performance and for checking any fault. We have chosen this period of the year because we are in between warm temperatures by the day and cold temperatures at night, in addition the fall season should bring rain and bad conditions which will help us verify the performance of this electromechanical bollard in different ambient conditions. This time we have set an ambitious objective but we think it is feasible for our high security product, thanks to its design and the brushless technology. Nowadays most of the manufacturers of automatic rising bollards on the market declare that the use frequency is 2000 cycles/day, this means that their product is designed for an intensive use (about 83 cycles / hour). Thanks to this proof not only will we prove that the bollard is three times more resistant, but also that it allows for reduced maintenance actions. WHY DO WE LIKE THIS AUTOMATIC RISING BOLLARD? The brushless operator ensures high performance and maintains the rising and lowering speed constant; The brushless technology we've chosen for our High Security Line, besides being environment friendly, prevents overheating of the motor and therefore it ensures a long-lasting life.Thanks to its components and the soft start-and-stop, this security bollard has a very silent operation;It is certified to PAS68, IWA-14 and ASTM M50 (K12) standards. Certified to PAS68, IWA-14, ASTM M50 (K12) ...
