Knowing the Risks - Fire and Explosion Protection in the Furniture Industry

The production of furniture often requires very complex processes. Wooden and other combustible materials are worked in different ways by numerous fast-running machines. Therefore, a furniture production holds a high risk of fire. It is obvious that loss and interruptions of production due to fire would be a disaster.

In the furniture industry, each machining process produces potentially combustible or explosive chips and dust that are concentrated in the extraction systems. Foreign bodies or defective machine parts can cause ignition sources, such as sparks or glowing particles. Via extraction and conveying facilities, these ignition sources reach filters, silos or bins where they might meet an explosive wood dust concentration and cause a fire or dust explosion.

To protect staff and production facilities against fire and explosions, GreCon offers a fast and reliable spark detection and extinguishment system which is specially adapted to the production conditions. A spark detection and extinguishment system detects ignition sources in time and automatically extinguishes them - and has done so for more than 35 years. The slogan: "We extinguish before you get burned!"

GreCon is approved by the VdS and does not only offer system engineering, mounting of system components and commissioning, but also all necessary installation work, such as cables, extinguishing water pipes and their insulation. Maintenance-friendly positions of the system components, such as spark detectors and extinguishing devices, are determined together with the customer considering safety-relevant requirements. Thus, the customer gets everything from one supplier, from engineering via installation up to training of operation staff as well as maintenance and service.
