How Spark Detection Prevents Fires and Explosions
Fires and dust explosions occur almost daily across many industries. When working with combustible materials, sparks and embers can be created very quickly. This is a constant danger for any facility where combustible materials are worked, exhausted, transported, filtered or dried.
AFF offers spark detection systems that are used primarily as a fire prevention method in dust collectors and in mechanical and pneumatic conveying systems.
Sensors watch the airstream or material flow, and when a spark or ember is detected it is extinguished before it reaches the collector or storage, where it could start a fire or ignite dust.
Protecting Dust Collectors and Conveying Lines
Dust collectors gather fine, dry dust in one place, which makes them a common point of ignition when a spark travels down the duct.
Spark detection placed on the ductwork leading to the collector, and on mechanical and pneumatic conveying lines, catches sparks and embers before they arrive.
