When working materials, sparks are created very quickly. A dull tool, a damaged fan bearing, an overheated motor, or a foreign object within the material can be the cause. This is a constant danger for all facilities where combustible materials are being worked, exhausted, transported, filtered, or dried.

Detect and extinguish sparks and burning embers before they create a fire or dust explosion. The GreCon sensors detect even the smallest spark’s infrared radiation. The sensors signal the control console to initiate instantaneous countermeasures thus preventing the spark from entering the dust collector or other downstream areas. The system extinguishes sparks without stopping production. Other countermeasures can be triggered including deluge valves, diverting or abort gates, or custom PLC action.
