In the metal industry, high temperatures and spark flight are inevitable. During production and processing, overheated parts and smouldering fire can occur which can cause fire or explosions. A special GreCon spark detection and extinguishment system significantly increases the safety and protection of the production facilities. It detects sparks in time and automatically extinguishes them – and has done so successfully for more than 40 years.

The right solution
When processing metal, there is a risk of fire in the extraction systems and filters. The metal dust that deposits there can ignite by exothermic reactions. This is a challenge that requires special spark extinguishing systems. However, sparks or overheated parts can also be caused in other plant areas by high temperatures, defective machines or foreign bodies.
A fire or an explosion can have serious consequences for your company:
- Injury and loss of human life
- Damage to machines, transport facilities and storage space
- Production interruptions
- Loss of income
- Repair / Replacement costs due to damaged machines
To protect your production, your staff and your machines against fire, GreCon offers you…
- a fast, reliable spark extinguishing system which is especially adapted to your production
- the detection and indication of sparks and glowing particles in the areas at risk
- an early extinguishment with suitable extinguishing media
- the possibility to activate extinguishment manually at any time
- recording of events down to the millisecond to help identify the cause of a problem
