Effective spark extinguishing ensures that ignition sources – e.g. sparks from foreign objects in processing machines, conveyor belts or ventilation systems – are extinguished as soon as they occur, preventing fires and dust explosions.

We offer a range of the world’s leading spark detection and extinguishing products, and in each case can put together a solution with the types of detectors and extinguishing agents that provide maximum safety in the given processing plant or transport or storage facility.

Automatic fire detection ensures that a fire is detected as soon as it starts, so that extinguishing can be initiated as soon as possible. We offer a range of different types of fire detection, so in each case we use the type of component that provides the most effective detection in the particular context. 

Our product portfolio includes smoke detectors, spark detectors, IR monitoring and temperature monitoring.

Effective explosion protection consists of both prevention (e.g. through spark detection and extinguishing and thermal monitoring to detect overheated components) and mitigation measures such as dampers to relieve the force and flames of an explosion, or extinguishing to contain the explosion and prevent the spread of flames to other parts of the plant.

Our product portfolio includes a range of detectors, venting components and extinguishing agents tailored to effectively and quickly prevent and combat dust explosions in e.g. silos and conveyor systems.

All our products are ATEX approved.

Thermal monitoring via infrared cameras enables effective prevention of fires even before they can be detected by the naked eye or smoke detectors. The camera data is processed by advanced software and compared with the normal temperature fluctuations for the area in question, and shutdown and alarms are triggered immediately in the event of particularly rapid or particularly drastic temperature fluctuations. 

The cameras are specially designed for use in challenging environments, so their performance and reliability are not affected by factors such as dust or dirt.

Foam fire extinguishing is used in spaces where traditional water-based sprinkler systems do not provide sufficiently effective extinguishing, or where there is a risk of fires in hazardous and highly flammable materials.

The use of foam as an extinguishing agent ensures both that the fire is extinguished quickly and effectively, as the oxygen supply is cut off, and that reignition is prevented, as the foam forms a sealing layer over the combustible material.

Inert gas fire extinguishing is used for effective fire protection of items such as server racks, electrical panels or PLC control cabinets. 

We offer an effective and reliable gas-based fire extinguishing solution based on advanced rocket technology developed under the European Space Agency, ESA, which means that the solution meets this industry’s high safety and reliability requirements. 

Advanced detection initiates extinguishing with inert gas inside the cabinet being protected, displacing the oxygen and smothering the fire within seconds, thereby preventing secondary damage from heat and smoke development.

Automatic fire protection of vehicles such as trucks or other heavy vehicles ensures that engine fires do not spread to other vehicles or to warehouses with combustible materials. 

We offer one of the world’s most effective fire protection systems for vehicles – German manufacturer protecfire’s detexline system, which is installed in the engine compartment of the vehicle itself and automatically detects and extinguishes emerging engine fires.

With rapid automatic fire protection of the cooker and deep fryer in the canteen kitchen, fires in overheated cooking fat are detected and extinguished quickly and efficiently. 

We offer a specially developed fire protection system for kitchens from the German manufacturer protecfire, which detects and extinguishes emerging fires ultra-fast and efficiently. The system’s extinguishing agent also forms a protective seal afterwards, preventing reignition.
