The pneumatic conveying of combustible dusts carries inherent risks for dust fires and explosions in many applications. Grinding, cutting, and drying operations can often cause sparks, which are typically the ignition source for fires and explosions in duct collectors and air filtration equipment.
The Flamex system is specifically designed to address these hazards by detecting and suppressing sparks in the pneumatic ductwork before they can reach dust collectors or storage bins.
The system utilizes infrared detectors to sense burning embers or sparks transported through ductwork leading to a dust collector. Upon sensing a spark, the system triggers an extinguishing device located downstream from the detectors, which produces an atomized water spray to effectively extinguish the burning material. The system reacts in a fraction of a second, and the extinguishing device sprays just long enough to ensure suppression so that typically no downtime or clean-up is required. The Flamex system can also be programmed to activate other extinguishing agents, abort mechanisms or shut down equipment.
For 30 years, Flamex systems have been installed in thousands of facilities across North America in numerous industries including, food processing, rubber, agricultural, coffee, woodworking, plastics, and metalworking.
Originally introduced to North America in 1977, Flamex is the first system of its type to gain Factory Mutual Approval.
