Fire protection in the Hygiene industry

Baby diapers and personal sanitary products are produced using similar technology. Pulp is milled and transferred to a forming station where Super Absorbant Polymers are added. The pulp is then sucked onto a polymer film by a vacuum system which is effectively a dust extraction system.

Overfeeding or malfunction of the mills can cause ignition, as can problems at the forming head or fan failure. Ignition sources can ignite the product, in the worst case while in storage, or it can ignite collected dust in the dust removal system, i.e. dust filter. The result is devastating fires causing costly production downtime!

Firefly offers fire protection for the following areas within the hygiene industry:

- Airlaid
- Diaper
- Incontinence
- Sanitary Pads
