Fire Detection

The Importance of Fire Detection

Fire detection is used to help prevent explosive powder coating fires. Our fire detection system can safely and efficiently send a shutdown signal to your powder coating operation within 0.3sec.

Theoretically this includes the shutdown of your electrostatic powder coating guns, booth exhauster, conveyor (if necessary), Ducting dampers (if necessary). The fire detection is to also set off an audible alarm and visual indicator.

All these safety precautions are extremely important due to the flammability of airborne powder. Many things can cause fires in this industry. Explosive powder coating fires can be caused due to improper grounding, friction static charges from venting, smoldering powder due to friction within the ventilation system, and any other external sparks or flames that come in contact with airborne powder.

NFPA 33 references are noted:

15-5.1 General Spray areas for manual or automated spray application processes, as defined in this standard, shall be protected with an approved automatic fire protection system

15.5.11.1.1 The optical flame detection system shall, in the event of ignition, react to the presence of flame within one-half (0.5) second and shall bring about all of the following:

(1) Stop any conveyors into and out of the spray area Shut off the ventilation system

(2)Shut off the ventilation system

  1. Shut off application, transfer, and powder collection equipment

  2. Close segregation dampers in associated ductwork to interrupt airflows

  3. Disconnect power to the high-voltage elements in the spray area and de-energize the system
