Research and Development Center

of GRUPA WOLFF

Our R&D Center in Balice, on the outskirts of Krakow, will serve as design and testing laboratory for proprietary industrial fire and explosion protection solutions.

The best leverage for expert knowledge and decades of industry experience

Own research and development facility will allow us to build innovative explosion and fire protection solutions – including those under the HARDO brand.

The project of building and equipping GRUPA WOLFF’s R&D Center for industrial safety technologies is financed by European Funds for research, development, and entrepreneurship.

Research objectives of GRUPA WOLFF’s R&D Center

Development and testing of new electrical components and power supply systems for use in demanding industrial environments

Analysis of the environmental footprint of new technologies, including emission testing

Rapid prototyping (including 3D printing) for market feasibility tests

Use of state-of-the-art IT equipment to support design, testing and prototyping

The big “why?” behind our R&D Center

The decision to create the WOLFF GROUP Research and Development Center is a logical consequence of many years of building engineering expertise in Poland.

The project involves creating a dedicated facility and space to host advanced laboratories and research equipment. It will be the first fully domestic infrastructure of its kind in Poland. Our center will enable efficient design and implementation of new process safety solutions – including those tailored to non-standard and niche operating conditions.

GRUPA WOLFF’s R&D Center: scope of activities

The Center will allow us to conduct specialized product testing for industrial solutions used in environments with explosion and fire hazard, as well as those operating in harsh conditions, such as corrosive or strongly electromagnetic (EMC) environments.

With properly equipped laboratories, we will be able to confirm product quality with measurable evidence – test results that mass manufacturers do not provide. This will give our customers reliable performance and quality data instead of relying solely on manufacturer declarations.

GRUPA WOLFF’s R&D Center: our research areas

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND LIGHTING FOR HAZARDOUS (EX) AREAS

SENSORS AND CONTROL PANELS

PROCESS SAFETY SYSTEMS

EXPLOSION AND FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS

INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATIONS

COMPONENTS FOR HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS

We invest in Polish know-how and skills

Our Research and Development Center will not only cut down the time required to bring new products to market. More importantly, it will reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and systematically build competitive advantage based on Polish engineering expertise.

The facility will also enable us to harness the innovative potential of our clients. In the Center, we will be able to efficiently test concepts put forward by end users and implement them on the market. This way, we will contribute to increased safety levels in industrial plants not only in Poland but worldwide.

The project to establish GRUPA WOLFF’s Research and Development Center is co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds programme.

Fire protection systems – offer

Fire protection systems – offer

Sprinkler
systems

They are an automatic fire extinguishing system that detects the onset of a fire, sends information to the control system, and automatically starts the selective water extinguishing process – only where there is a fire.

Fire protection systems – offer

Deluge
systems

They are equipped with open fire sprinklers and can be divided into several extinguishing zones. When a fire is detected, the appropriate valves for a given area are opened. Water is released throughout the protected area.

Fire protection systems – offer

Foam
systems

We use them especially for high fire risk facilities, such as: fuel tanks, solvents, and other flammable liquids; warehouses of plastics; flammable products and/or those creating explosive atmospheres.

Strobe light sirens EX ATEX

Fire detection
and signaling

We design and implement complete fire detection and signaling systems. Depending on the needs, we use one of the four available systems or a hybrid of two or three of them, optimizing the investment in terms of technical and cost aspects.

Fire protection systems – offer

Spark detection
and extinguishing

These systems are designed for installation on industrial installation channels. Their task is to prevent a potential ignition source in the form of a spark, cigarette butt, or heated particle from reaching the device.
