ProDetec delivers specialist woodworking fire protection solutions for Australia’s timber, panel board, MDF, sawmill, and biomass industries, for environments where friction, high-speed processing, combustible dust, and dry shavings create constant and serious ignition risk.
In woodworking environments, the combination of dry timber, fine dust, and high-speed friction creates conditions where ignition can occur rapidly and escalate faster than conventional detection allows, making early intervention inside the process itself essential to protecting people, machinery, and production continuity.
ProDetec’s wood working fire protection systems are built around Firefly technology from Sweden, purpose-engineered for machine-level fire prevention inside the process itself.Â
Solutions include PlanerGuard for high-speed planers, moulders, and open planer configurations, spark and hot ember detection across pneumatic transport systems and conveyors, fast-acting IR radiation and flame detection, and non-invasive water mist suppression designed to extinguish fires quickly without damaging equipment or halting production unnecessarily.
With local engineering support across Australia and over 22 years of industrial safety experience, ProDetec designs, supplies, and commissions woodworking fire protection systems tailored to each facility’s specific machinery, layout, and risk profile.
