Solutions for the MDF Industry
Problem areas in a MDF factory are dryer(s), fibre/dosing bins, wind sifters, forming stations, line extraction, sanding as well as the press. All of these areas of your production are vulnerable to possible fire and dust explosions! Dangerous sparks and hot particles can be generated in your process, that can lead to loss of revenue and/or human life as well as major damage to your production line and machinery.
Firefly has developed the following solutions for optimising safety in MDF mills:
Every year there are hundreds of fires in presses throughout the world. Production downtime and damage to the press are costly consequences!
Critical issues when choosing a press protection system:
- Fast and reliable detection at the right areas, in and around the press
- Fast responding extinguishing
- Possibility to quickly re-start production after extinguishing
Firefly has taken all of the above into account when developing the Firefly PressGuardTM system. Our solution includes fast IR and UV/IR sensor detection as well as effective water mist extinguishing.
If you think safety is expensive - try an accident!
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.
