Spark Detector

In many production processes in the manufacturing and processing industries, heat sources can arise unknowingly. These heat sources are classified according to the infrared light they emit as hot particles, glowing particles, or sparks.
Depending on the process, ignition potentials can arise, for example, through friction on slowly and quickly rotating processing machines, through tool breakage, or through material contamination. Mechanical or pneumatic conveyor systems can transport these ignition potentials to downstream plant areas, where they can cause devastating fires or explosions. The consequences for the company are obvious: production interruptions, the clarification process with the property insurer, and long reconstruction times sometimes lead to prolonged absence from the market. Affected companies find themselves in a â??state of limboâ?? in which their future is uncertain. As a result, almost three-quarters of companies go bankrupt and some disappear from the market altogether. Spark extinguishing systems from T&B prevent this scenario by reliably detecting ignition potentialsâ??such as hot and smoldering particles and sparksâ??and, depending on the application process, safely extinguishing them, ejecting them, or preventing further conveyance by means of slides. Advantages of the T&B spark extinguishing system Detection of all critical ignition potentials such as sparks, glowing and hot particles Unique selection of different infrared sensors
Fine extinguishing water mist does not interfere with the process In addition to water extinguishing, gas, valves and diverters are also available
Preventive measure to prevent fires and explosions Generally no interruption to operations Can be retrofitted at any time without any effort thanks to the globally unique mounting system for components
The fully automatic spark extinguishing systems from T&B basically consist of spark detectors, an automatic extinguishing system and the centerpiece, a spark detection control panel. The water supply can be provided by an existing sprinkler system or by a T&B pressure booster system. If an ignition potential is detected by the spark detector, the automatic extinguishing system is activated within milliseconds via the spark detection control panel and a fine water mist is sprayed into the extraction line for 3 seconds. If sparks continue to fly, a second alarm threshold is reached, which should lead to the process being switched off.
