GRECON FM1/8 EX ID:58154015EX FUNKENMELDER

GRECON FM1/8 EX ID:58154015EX Spark Detector is used in GreCon's fire prevention and extinguishing systems, specifically for detecting sparks and glowing embers in industrial environments with a high risk of explosion. The "EX" designation and the model number "ID:58154015EX" indicate that this detector is certified for safe operation in explosive dust and gas atmospheres (ATEX Zones). Primary areas of use include pneumatic conveying systems, extraction ducts, and storage silos where flammable materials are transported in industries such as woodworking, textiles, recycling, food processing, chemical, and power generation. Its main purpose is to detect ignition sources that could cause fire or explosion at an early stage in these systems, thereby activating fire extinguishing or prevention systems.

GRECON FM1/8 EX ID:58154015EX Spark Detector is a highly sensitive, explosion-protected (Ex-proof) spark detector based on infrared technology. It rapidly detects sparks and glowing embers within materials passing through the pneumatic transport line in a system. Detection occurs via a special sensor sensitive to light emission. It is specifically designed and manufactured to ensure safety in explosive environments, making it suitable for use in hazardous areas. The detected spark signal is transmitted to the connected control panel, which automatically activates extinguishing systems (e.g., water spray) or other safety measures (e.g., stopping the transport line, closing diversion gates). Its robust and explosion-proof construction ensures reliable operation even in harsh industrial conditions.
