Manufacturing & Industrial.

Factories and industrial plants combine high-value equipment, hazardous processes and round-the-clock operations — demanding fire detection built to survive the environment it protects.

Every factory floor has its own specific fire risk depending on the process running on it, from welding to chemical handling to high-value machinery — and the harsh, dusty, humid conditions found in many recycling plants and manufacturing facilities can defeat a standard detector outright.

An industrial fire strategy typically pairs rugged, heat- and dust-rated detection suited to the specific process with aspirating smoke detection wherever dirt, humidity or extreme temperatures would clog or damage a standard detector — conditions common to recycling plants and manufacturing facilities. Detection is usually zoned by process area so an alarm can be pinpointed to the exact part of the plant at risk. Where smoke detection is not suitable, linear heat detection along conveyors and cable routes and flame detection in open or outdoor plant add the right kind of coverage.
