Firetrace's automatic CO2 fire suppression systems are the industry's leading solution for protecting dust, fume & mist collectors from the risk of fire.
Firetrace systems detect and suppress fires at the source, minimizing damage without messy clean-up or extended downtime. Protect your operation's productivity and achieve full compliance with local fire code and industry best practice.
Combustible dust in dust collectors can increase the risk of fire, flash fire, deflagration & explosion. A Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) can determine if dust is combustible.
Fume particulate consists of tiny airborne particles generated during industrial processes like welding and laser or plasma cutting. Over time, particle build-up in a collector's hopper can pose a significant fire hazard if not properly managed.
The actual filter – often made of flammable material – can itself be a fire hazard. A single spark landing on this filter material is enough to trigger a fire, compromise your machine, and put people at risk.
Our CO₂ fire suppression system uses heat-sensitive detection tubing to trigger the automatic suppression of fire through displacement of oxygen.
More about our solution:
Firetrace systems are pre-engineered, standardized and designed for low-effort planning &simple install.
Firetrace's innovative detection tubing senses fires faster than traditional heat probes and without false alarms, common for smoke detectors.
Mitigate fire risk without water damage or flooding and limit expensive clean-up and or reclamation costs.
Recommended by NFPA
Will not condense (unlike chemical clean agent with high boiling points)
Full coverage (unlike ABC dry chemical):
Faster suppression: Higher design concentration and quicker discharge (unlike inert gases)
Non-corrosive & case no water damage (unlike water-based systems)
