ProDetec delivers specialist pulp and paper fire protection solutions for Australia’s paper mills, pulp processing operations, and filter installations, in environments where IR dryers, pneumatic transport systems, and continuous high-speed production create persistent fire and combustible dust explosion risk.Â
In the paper industry, a fire in an IR drying area alone can result in significant and costly production downtime, while damage to a paper machine, with replacement lead times that can exceed 18 months, carries consequences far beyond the immediate incident.
Effective paper fire protection requires early intervention at the ignition source, before heat or flame can propagate through interconnected production equipment. ProDetec’s solutions are built on Firefly technology, the world’s first third-party-approved quick suppression system, incorporating IR-Guard for dryer protection, spark and hot particle detection across mills and filters, and suppression via water spray, water mist, or COâ‚‚ isolation.
With over 22 years of industrial safety experience and local engineering support across Australia, ProDetec designs, supplies, and commissions pulp and paper fire protection systems matched to each facility’s specific process layout and risk profile.
