Applications & Industries
Explore the application context and related range. Final selection depends on your equipment and operating requirements.
Spark Detection
Detection and extinguishing work together to intercept ignition sources in material transport. The detector, extinguishing zone and control sequence are selected for the process.
Hot Particle Detection
Hazardous hot particles need not be visibly glowing. Firefly’s infrared approach addresses this distinction when protecting downstream process equipment.
Flame Detection
Flame detection supports rapid response in exposed equipment and machinery areas. Suppression coverage must be designed around the protected zone.
Conveyor Protection
Conveyor protection combines detection, local suppression and a coordinated conveyor stop. Review belt arrangement, conveyed material and transfer points.
Filter Protection
Dust extraction can transport ignition sources into filters. Detection and extinguishing upstream of the filter address this material-flow risk.
Machinery Protection
A machinery protection design identifies ignition-prone areas and the required detector and suppression coverage. Presses and sanders are examples in wood-panel processing.
Silo Protection
Silo protection considers both incoming ignition sources and smouldering material inside storage. These are different detection problems and require a site-specific design.
Shredder Protection
Shredders process variable material streams. Detection and water-mist suppression are arranged around the shredder’s fire-risk zones.
Material-Handling Protection
Map conveyors, chutes, transfer points and downstream storage to identify where ignition sources can travel through the installation.
Process-Line Protection
Process protection links detection, suppression and control actions across connected equipment. The design starts with the material and the process layout.
Woodworking & Wood Panels
Woodworking: shavings and sawdust around planers, sanders and extraction systems create combustible-material risks. PlanerGuard and SanderGuard address machinery areas through flame detection and water-mist suppression. Wood panels: MDF, OSB and particleboard processes also need attention to dryers, transport, presses and sanders. PressGuard and SanderGuard are examples; upstream spark detection addresses filters and silos.
Tissue & Paper
Tissue processing brings fibres and dust through the machine and converting lines. Firefly describes protection around the Yankee hood, extraction ducts, web and reel areas. WebScan addresses hazardous particles on the web; storage needs separate consideration for smouldering material.
Hygiene Products
Review fibre and dust handling, extraction and machinery areas to establish the process-specific protection zones.
Food Processing
Review ingredient transport, dust extraction and relevant oven or process machinery hazards before selecting detection and suppression.
Power Generation
Fuel handling and conveyors need a coordinated response to ignition and fire risks. ConveyorGuard links detection, suppression and conveyor stopping.
Biomass & Pellets
Review dry biomass handling, conveying and storage. Map ignition-source pathways and storage risks separately.
Recycling
Assess the material stream and shredding and conveying stages. ShredderGuard and ConveyorGuard address different parts of the process.
Ports & Logistics
Firefly describes protection for conveyors, transfer points, elevators, filters and silos in dry-bulk handling. Review each material-flow stage and its required response.
Cement & Alternative Fuels
Review alternative-fuel preparation, shredding and transport as connected process areas. Selection depends on the fuel stream and installation.
Process Industries
Start with the material, ignition sources and process connections rather than selecting one system for the whole plant.
