GreCon Spark Detection and Extinguishment System
... reliably prevents fire in dryers, filters and silos
The occurrence of glowing or hot particles cannot be completely excluded from many processes. If ignition sources are transported into filters and silos via the extraction system or other conveying facilities, devastating fires and explosions can be triggered.
By means of infrared sensors and downstream extinguishing nozzles, the ignition sources in mechanical and pneumatic conveying systems are reliably detected and extinguished before they reach plant areas at risk.
For those applications in which water extinguishment is not possible or reasonable, GreCon developed special fire traps or diversion gates, which prevent the damaging effects of the ignition sources as quickly as the water extinguishment.
Not only has the technical implementation of the principle “extinguish sparks before fire occurs” been permanently improved and optimised until now. A high level has been reached especially regarding the operation of the system and the documentation of alarms and extinguishments. The control console, which records all events of a spark extinguishment unit installed in a factory exactly to the millisecond, now contains a full-graphic display which ensures operator guidance in almost any national language.
