Get fire and explosion protection from an industry expert
Nextech has many years’ experience in fire and explosion protection for the animal feed industry, and can thus optimise safety at every stage of production. We sell some of the world’s most advanced and fastest fire detection, spark detection and spark extinguishing systems that automatically monitor your production plants and storage facilities, detecting sparks, embers and other ignition sources and extinguishing them before they can cause fire and explosion, as well as a range of advanced fire extinguishing and explosion protection systems that avert serious damage should a fire or explosion occur for any other reason.
The systems can be used in all types of feed production and processing, and in each case we tailor a solution to suit the particular plant, the raw materials being processed and the forms of extinguishing – including gas, water or material flow diversion – that work optimally with minimal impact on the feed products being produced. For example, we sell branch pipes for material flow diversion that are designed in stainless steel and approved for use in the animal feed industry.
