| WoodTechProtect |
Timber processing, woodworking, furniture manufacturing, paper mills. |
Highly combustible fine dust (wood dust), rapid fire spread along conveyors, high surface fire load. Risk of dust explosions. |
Spark Detection & Extinguishing Systems: High-speed IR detectors (in ductwork) trigger water mist or high-pressure water jets within milliseconds to extinguish sparks before they reach silos/filters. May also include water spray systems for bulk storage. |
| PVProtect |
Photovoltaic (PV) installations, solar farms, solar power plants. |
Electrical fire risk from short circuits, arc faults, and overheating (especially in DC components). Challenge: High voltage, inaccessible roof-mounted panels, and need for non-conductive extinguishing media. |
Isolation/Disconnection Systems: Automatic or manual rapid shutdown/isolation of DC current. Non-Conductive Extinguishing Agents: Use of clean agents (e.g., Novec 1230, CO2) or water mist outside of the electrical components to address surrounding fire, or specific non-conductive foams. |
| MachineToolProtect |
CNC machining centers, grinding machines, metalworking. |
Oil/Coolant Mist Fire: Flammable cutting fluids/hydraulic oils produce fine, volatile mist when heated by friction, leading to rapid, intense fires. Challenge: Confined space, high-value asset, need for quick suppression with minimal residue. |
Local Application Suppression: Use of CO2 or Clean Agents directly inside the machine enclosure, triggered by infrared or UV/IR flame detection. This starves the fire of oxygen and minimizes damage and downtime. |
| DryerProtect |
Industrial drying processes (food, textiles, wood), spray booths, ovens. |
Ignition in Hot Air Systems: Accumulation of lint, product residue, or static electricity in hot air ducts/chambers leading to smoldering or flare-up. Challenge: High air velocity, inaccessible internal spaces, continuous operation. |
High-Pressure Water Mist/Fine Spray: Used inside the drying chamber or ductwork for cooling and extinguishing. Spark Detection is also crucial here, similar to WoodTechProtect, to intercept ignition sources before they enter the dryer. |
| TurbineProtect |
Power generation facilities, gas/steam turbines, turbine enclosures. |
Flammable Liquids & High Heat: High-pressure lubricating oil and hydraulic fluid lines running over extremely hot surfaces. Failure leads to high-pressure oil sprays hitting hot components (auto-ignition). Challenge: High value, complex machinery, confined enclosure. |
Deluge Systems or Water Mist: Deluge systems for rapid, heavy water application on the enclosure; or High-Pressure Water Mist (HPWM) for better penetration and cooling, with less water volume than traditional sprinklers. Often paired with clean agent systems for the generator side. |
| TraFoProtect |
Electrical power transformers (oil-filled). |
Oil Fire: Internal electrical faults heat the insulating mineral oil until it vaporizes and ignites, potentially leading to catastrophic failure and pool fires. Challenge: Large volume of flammable oil, outdoor/substation location, potential for explosion. |
Water Spray/Deluge Systems: Fixed, open-head nozzles create a dense curtain of water to cool the transformer casing and suppress the oil pool fire (if the tank ruptures). Fire Walls (Passive Protection) are also essential to prevent fire spread to adjacent equipment. |
