In the Log Saw enclosure it is vital to detect and suppress flames within seconds because a fire in this area can spread very quickly. Firefly’s Quick Suppression System offers a solution that combines optical UV/IR fire sensors that can detect small flames at an early stage, over a large area, with fast water mist suppression.
In order to avoid dust filter fires and explosions, ignition sources in the extraction system need to be detected and extinguished. By installing Firefly Spark Detection system you get extremely fast IR sensors that can detect sparks and hot particles. Depending on the process, the aim of the system is to eliminate ignition sources by extinguishing with water, using isolation and CO2, or diverting the air flow.
Applications
Sparks generated by the sharpening, due to baring problem or mechanical break down can cause ignition of the dust in the log saw booth.
Ignition sources can be generated from the shredding process and fires will most likely occur in the cyclone or filter where the shredded material is pneumatically conveyed.
