Solutions for Sawmills
Firefly has developed the following solutions for optimising safety in sawmills:
Unforeseen interruptions in production due to fire in a planer are often very costly!
Planing at high speeds leads to an increase in friction heat, making the process
vulnerable to fire. Firefly's PlanerGuard for high speed planers focuses on indicating
ignition sources at an early stage. Extinguishing is in the form of a fine water mist which
quickly and effectively extinguishes the fire without causing costly downtime and damage
to your planer.

Unforeseen interruptions in production due to fire in a planer are often very costly!
In many cases, large amounts of shavings are accumulated in and around the open
planer. When ignited, these shavings can cause rapid fires resulting in
considerable damages.Fireflys PlanerGuard for open planers monitors the machine
by using flame detectors installed local to the area. Our water mist will extinguish fire
quickly and efficiently, even in the closed areas of an open planer. It also ensures that
the planer isn't water damaged.

Unforeseen interruptions in production due to fire in a moulder are often very costly!
A moulder is often installed in a production area adjacent to other machinery. The
consequences of a fire in a moulder can therefore be extensive and damage
surrounding equipment.Firefly's PlanerGuard for moulders detects sparks or
incipient fire at a very early stage. Our water mist will extinguish quickly and
efficiently, even in the closed areas of a moulder. It also ensures that the moulder
isn't water damaged.

Avoid production downtime with Firefly's SanderGuard!A sanding machine is a high
risk area in your process. The fine dust generated can, when ignited, give rise to
severe dust explosions and rapid spread of fire.Firefly's SanderGuard is designed for
all types of sanders. The SanderGuard system quickly indicates problems inside the
machine and, before a fire can take hold, extinguish by using a water mist system.
