We provide with ‚Silo Protect‘ the solution for silos and bunkers
The difficulty in detecting developing fires inside silos and bunkers lies in the fact that a high percentage of fine dust and carbon monoxide is present, often coupled with high relative humidity. This explosive combination has formed the basis for serious problems in early fire detection. Minimax has developed a system equipped to meet these special requirements: Silo Protect.
Through a combination of filter and dust separators, Minimax has succeeded in employing the HELIOS AMX5000 aspirating smoke detector – a system which has already proven its effectiveness in other areas. The smoke aspiration system takes continuous air samples from the silo or bunker area. These samples are then tested for carbon monoxide and smoke particle content. A specially developed filter situated in the bunker removes any coarse particles from the aspirated air-dust mixture. Fine particles and water are then separated. This tried and tested system for particle separation, along with air stream monitoring and monitored sensors, guarantees the highest levels of operational safety. The sturdy industrial version can even be used in Ex-Dust Zone 20.
If several of the adjustable concentration values are exceeded, an alarm will sound and the activation of an extinguishing system via the FMZ 5000 fire detection control panel is possible. Regardless of the fire risk: as a complete fire safety equipment provider, Minimax offers both water and gas extinguishing systems, and can adapt every system to meet your individual needs. For all-round fire protection.
