Fire and Explosion Protection for the Animal Feed IndustrySpark Extinguishment Systems offer safety for your production
The pet food produced by the animal feed industry is mainly offered in the form of easytohandle pellets. However,the production processes, such as the drying and grinding of the mostly combustible materials as well as thepressing to pellets, hold various risks of fire. Sparks, glowing embers or particles, generated in different plant areas,can easily cause serious fire and explosions. A GreCon spark detection and extinguishment system significantlyincreases the safety and protection of the production facilities. It detects sparks in time and automaticallyextinguishes them – and has done so successfully for more than 35 years.
Risks of the animal feed industry
Many production areas, from drying via the mill to the pellet press, can be the cause of ignition sources. Due to thefastrunning machines, the high presspressure and the high temperatures, sparks or glowing particles can becreated and reach, via extraction and conveying facilities, filters, silos or bins where they can meet explosive wooddust concentrations and dry pellets and quickly cause fire and dust explosions.
