With many types of industrial dust collection involve the collection of hot compounds, or sparks which can pose a fire hazard within the system. This can further lead to potential Dust Explosions which more than just damaging property, can lead to massive loss of life within your facility.
DeGATECH Fire Suppression technology is available for in your existing dust collector. This technology works by installing various sensors, and piping throughout your Baghouse. When the sensors detect that a ignition source is present, they work by releasing a fire suppression agent either directly into the collection media or upstream in the dust collection system. This allows the airflow to draw the agent into the filtration system or collector.
Our Fire Suppression systems can use a variety of suppression agents to meet your exact needs. These include:
– CO2
– Dry Chemical
