Fagus-GreCon Inc.

Preventive fire protection and instrumentation systems

Fagus-GreCon is the world’s leading provider of preventive fire protection and instrumentation systems for applications in many industries. As a preventative fire protection measure, spark extinguishing systems prevent fires and explosions in filter systems, conveyor belts and many other production facilities.

The GreCon Spark Extinguishing System detects ignition sources wherever material is pneumatically or mechanically extracted or transported. Sparks or glowing embers are eliminated even before severe damage is caused.

A GreCon spark detection and extinguishment system is suitable for almost any position of the production process to ensure fire protection or monitoring functions by means of special sensors. IR detectors monitor conveyors and can if necessary activate high-speed water extinguishing devices within a few milliseconds. The spreading of ignition energy can be effectively prevented. A diversion or shut-off of the product flow is an option and is used whenever extinguishment with water is impossible.

Depending on the events, that are recorded exactly to the millisecond, adequate measures are automatically and specifically activated via a 4-fold graduated alarm system. These measures can be mostly carried out without interrupting the production process. Action is taken ad hoc to minimise damage and the resulting downtime without unnecessarily disturbing the production process.
