SPARK DETECTION AND EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM

During the production process sparks or glowing embers can easily be produced by the processing machinery or from impurities in the conveyed material. These potential ignition sources are then picked up by the pneumatic system and transported along with highly combustible wood chips, dust or other finely divided particles. A single spark that enters filters, silos or the dust collector is sufficient to cause fires or dust explosions resulting in excessive damage of property and costly downtimes or even worse - danger to the life and safety of your employees! Sparks travelling through the duct of the conveying system are instantly identified by the infrared spark detectors. The spark detectors immediately send a signal to the control panel. This signal triggers the solenoid valve of the automatic extinguishing unit and releases the water injection via special nozzles after just a few milliseconds. The glowing or hot particles are conveyed into the water spray curtain.
