Spark Extinguishers System

Flying sparks and moving smoulder spots are immediately identified from their radiation, and appropriate counter-measures are taken. Water extinguishing nozzles, extinguishing barriers and shut-off devices are elements of the system. These prevent the ignition source from being carried onward to at-risk parts of the plant, ensuring continued operation.


Typical Features

  • Reliable detection, even through deposits of dirt or highly-content conveying flows
  • Fast-acting automatic extinguisher consisting of a high-speed solenoid valve and several extinguishing nozzle
  • High pressure extinguishes with a water film within seconds
  • Highly effective in low-brightness areas
  • The highly reliable detection even in areas of high operating temperature through the use of three detectors per alarm system
  • uncomplicated use
