Poultry Processing Plant Protected by the Latest Fire Detection Technology
The SecuriSmoke ASD535 HD (Heavy Duty) was installed in the cold storage, fresh chiller, plant room and dispatch areas. This heavy-duty ASD suits areas with large amounts of dust and moisture. External filtration can be added to limit dust ingress and ensure successful air monitoring for smoke particles to reduce false alarms. Water retaining boxes restrict moisture from entering the dust filters and sampling chamber to limit blockages and faults in the system. Additionally, heated sampling points on the pipe network in the cold storage applications will prevent the sampling holes from icing up.
The SecuriHeat ADW HDx (Heavy Duty) linear heat detector was installed in the evisceration and de-feathering, main packaging, and palletising and wrapping areas. The heavy-duty ADW is explosion-proof and is suited for areas with large amounts of dust, high temperatures, and large volumes of steam where the site has been classified as explosive. The detector is installed outside the environment, and the sensing tube is inside the risk area. The sensing tube’s robust construction and flexibility allow the sensing element to be installed close to the fire risk for early detection.
Special thanks to our South Africa partner Technoswitch and their client Fire-Quip who successfully tested the performance of the equipment in simulated off-site environments, giving the end user complete confidence in the products and solutions provided.
