Expansion of management at Fagus-GreCon

Filters may burn or even explode because of sparks within exhaust ducts. GreCon Spark Extinguishing Systems are designed to prevent this. They detect small sparks within the ducts and extinguish them in a split second. Spark sensors detect the infrared radiation of glowing particles. Immediately, a dense water mist spray which extinguishes passing sparks is created in a specified distance downstream from the spark sensors. The production process can continue without interruption during the whole procedure. Spark extinguishing systems are amongst the most efficient fire protection systems as a result of their highly-developed technique and their reliability. The use of these systems for various applications is even prescribed by the employer`s liability insurance associations and by national factory inspectorates.

Take advantage of the overall dynamics offered by POWTECH, the leading exhibition for experts in powder and bulk solids technology. This event provides a presentation platform for innovations and advancements in processes for the manufacture of quality products made and processed from powder, granules, bulk solids and liquids – also for the environmental and recycling sector. Good reasons for visiting 1. 360° view of processing technologies Enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the entire process chain of mechanical processing technologies and talk with the best minds in the industry about the latest developments for the analysis, size reduction, screening, mixing, conveying, dosing and compacting of powder, granules, bulk solids and liquids. Whether energy efficiency, sustainability, gentle handling or process optimisation – as a driver of innovation, POWTECH always puts the spotlight on the hot topics in the processing technology sector. 2. Distinct focus on powder, granulation and bulk solids technology and the processing of fluids and liquids The compact layout provides easy access to the leading suppliers of basic processing technologies for powder, bulk solids and liquids: Whether you are looking for plant engineering, processing components, equipment for measuring, control and automation, nanoparticle technology products, safety and environmental technology or services for mechanical processing technologies, you are guaranteed to find what you need. 3. The perfect platform for live demonstrations, dialogue and new contacts POWTECH is more than just an exhibition. It’s where exhibits are tested live and specific solutions are developed with keen interest. Direct exchanges between experts mean that discussions are held on a level playing field and challenges are addressed directly from the ground up. This results in genuinely valuable and sustainable new contacts and business relationships. POWTECH is also the perfect stage for the next generation: As well as the key players, innovative young start-ups also present their new processes and product developments for the successful future of the industry. 4. Inspiration for tomorrow’s processing technologies Do you find that meetings, deadlines and cost pressures leave you with no scope for creativity during your daily work routine? The POWTECH 2023 supporting programme opens new perspectives. Be inspired by new impulses in our Expert Forum, special shows and pavilions, including topics such as explosion protection, food life science technologies, mandatory serialisation, and cleanroom technology. 5. POWTECH – the industry barometer 477 exhibitors from 29 countries and 7,688 trade visitors at the restart of POWTECH in 2022 underscore its importance for nearly all segments of industry, but especially chemicals, pharmaceuticals, metals and food. The process engineering supply chain continues to be a robust growth market. In 2023, POWTECH will reflect the fact that in many sectors, powder and bulk solids processing is being combined with fluid and liquid technologies to form an integrated process, and therefore the event specifically incorporates the processing and handling of liquids in its product range. Moreover, the important industrial sectors of cosmetics and batteries are being included in the exhibition for the first time. So don’t miss out. Make sure you are also part of the 2023 event with its new topics and technologies.

Preventive fire protection systems integrated into process control perform tasks for ensuring product quality in addition to working as an early warning system today thanks to smart sensors and their smart networking. A contribution to productivity increase and quality assurance The digitalisation growth of the last few months opens up new options for designing many different processes more efficiently in integrated preventive fire protection of industrial production systems as well. Preventive fire protection systems integrated into process control perform tasks for ensuring product quality in addition to working as an early warning system today thanks to smart sensors and their smart networking. Direct data exchange with production control not only permits process visualisations, but also control and regulation processes. This increased connectivity is the most important building block in order to predictively plan maintenance tasks with the help of data analyses in fire protection facilities and to increase the usage duration of components at consistently high plant safety in future as well. Additionally, the risk of unplanned downtimes reduces and productivity increases.

The new intelligent automatic extinguishing system GreCon IEM makes existing spark extinguishing systems from Fagus-GreCon even more intelligent and reliable Sensor technology integrated into the automatic extinguishing system improves the operational safety of the systems through integrated early wear detection. Automatic early wear detection The smallest leaks are automatically detected and reported to the control centre. The system operator is proactively informed about the upcoming replacement of wear parts and can systematically plan the replacement. If temperatures approach the freezing point, the integrated temperature monitoring activates the heating cartridge and thus ensures the smooth operation of the system even in outdoor areas. The risk of unplanned downtimes is reduced and system availability increases. Maintenance based on wear data Advances in sensor technology also allow maintenance intervals to be individually determined on the basis of wear data. These dynamic maintenance intervals not only extend the maintenance intervals in the context of predictive maintenance, but also increase the service
