Solutions for the Plywood industry

Problem areas in a plywood factory are filters, silos, sanding and panel sizing. 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 Plywood mills:

SanderGuard

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.
"Firefly's SanderGuard keeps you in production"
