Technical Description – ShredderGuard
Description
The shredding process is highly exposed to fire incidents. Foreign unwanted objects such as stones or metal pieces in combination with dust often start fires in waste shredder. Also paper shredders are commonly exposed to fires due to dust generated by the shredding process.
False alarms due to light is the most common problem with conventional spark detection systems using photocell detectors.
In a shredding line there are many areas where light can enter
- Openings into the process
- Doors or hatches
False detection will lead to unnecessary water injection and costly production stop
