Safety Systems

EWS ALF Series — ultra-sensitive spark detection and precision water extinguishing. Protecting your plant, your people, and your production from fire and explosion risk.

Dust fires and explosions are a serious and costly reality

In pneumatic conveying systems, blow pipes, chutes, dust filters, silos, and bins — sparks and glowing particles are a constant risk in panel, wood-processing, and bulk-material industries.

A single fire event can cause production stoppage, equipment damage, and in the worst cases, loss of life. The cost of prevention is a fraction of the cost of a single incident.

Key risk locations:
• Pneumatic conveying systems and blow pipes
• Dust filters and cyclones
• Silos and material storage bins
• Chutes and transport ducting

Spark Detection & Extinguishing System

Developed from decades of field experience and extensive wind-tunnel testing at air velocities up to 36 m/s.

Latest-Generation Focus Areas

Up to 50% Lower Installation Cost
New wiring concepts cut installation cost significantly compared to previous generations.
Ease of Use
Selective operator control blocks for each zone — reduces training time and operator error.
Reduced Water Consumption
Newly engineered nozzle delivers same extinguishing effectiveness with significantly less water — minimizing production disruption.
Full Self-Supervision
Automatic monitoring of all critical detection and extinguishing functions — high redundancy, no blind spots.
