GreCon:BS7 Spark Detection Systems |
 |
Spark detection systems detect sparks and automatically
divert them - thus reducing the risk of dust fires and
explosions. In blowroom applications, GreCon spark detection
systems are safety devices for ventilation systems in the
textile industry and in all production facilities in which
cotton or cotton dust are processed. Therefore, depending on the
application ares, sparks can be diverted out of the material
flow or fires in stenters and dryers can be extinguished.

Overheating, mechanical damage and foreign bodies are some of
the main causes of hazardous sparks and glowing embers that can
be transported through the processing system. This places
certain areas of the plant, such as ginning process, blow room,
drier and stenter, in danger and often result in fires or even
dust explosions.
GreCon spark detection systems are preventive fire protection
measures. These devices are installed in pneumatic or mechanical
conveying systems. They detect the ignition sources in the
extraction ducts and automatically divert them within milli-seconds,
thus greatly reducing the risk of fire in downstream plant
areas.

Optional metal detection in blow room. |
Thanks to the fast reaction time of the system, only a
relatively small distance between spark detection and diversion
device is required. However, an exact engineering of the system,
carried by Grecon specialists, is a prerequisite for successful
running of the system.
The Grecon patented mounting adapters make it very easy to
install the spark detectors. The whole installation is
undertaken from the outside. The detector optics are
flush-mounted into the duct wall so that the material flow is
not disturbed. The unsurpassed sensitivity of the detectors
makes a reliable detection of sparks possible, even through
dense material flows at the mills.
|
Simple control for two lines. |
A modern control console with a big display, in which all
events are shown, makes the operation of the system very easy
and further more all events are stored for the reference of the
operator. Standard interfaces are available to transfer data or
shut down machinery. The control console has a modular design
and can be extended at any time.
