Protect plant, stores and business-critical equipment

Whether on the farm or at industrial off-farm storage and processing units, grain transfer sites are dry, dusty and include vast amounts of combustible material. These sites, crucial to the global food chain, are therefore not only a serious fire hazard, but a particularly dangerous one, since airborne grain dust can reach explosion thresholds. They also represent a growth industry in many countries.

For a high-hazard building occupancy such as grain transfer site, a well-designed and reliable Early Warning Fire Detection system provides risk mitigation to potentially prevent a fire from happening or from developing out of control. Alarming early and with multiple alert levels can facilitate timely investigation by an onsite response team. Both SecuriSmoke ASD and SecuriHeat ADW have a role to play here, with one offering industry/leading sensitivity to early traces of smoke and the other able to withstand the abrasion of grain movements and detect heat build/ups deep in the store.

Additionally, Securiton offers the chance to combine fire detection and predictive maintenance of moving equipment such as bucket elevators and belt conveyors. This highly cost/effective solution is possible thanks to the pinpoint heat/detecting capabilities of SecuriHeat d-LIST.

Benefits of SecuriSmoke ASD for protection of high-risk areas:

• Early and reliable smoke detection with automatic on-demand fault alarms and 5-levels of alerts and alarms
• ASD unit and testing point can be installed away from sampling pipes and outside of hazardous and working zones
• Optimal alarm settings supported with design tool for code compliance
• Dynamic use of aspirating technology to address unique operating conditions

Benefits of SecuriHeat ADW for protection of grain storage and transfer sites:

• Choice of copper, steel or teflon tubing that is resistant to harsh outdoor conditions as well as abrasion by grain or other mass goods
• Elimination of false alarms with Dynamic Heat Watch algorithm
• Fully automatic system monitoring that requires minimal maintenance

Benefits of SecuriHeat d-LIST for preventive monitoring of machinery and transport and systems:

• Individually assessable sensors for rapid pinpointing of friction points for indications of heat generation
• Easy installation, choice of sensor spacings, no maintenance required
• Extremely durable cables operate in extreme environments
