Industrial fire protection for the paper industry

Paper is highly flammable, dry and processed at enormous speed. Sparks, embers or dust explosions often go unnoticed – and are enough to bring entire production lines to a standstill. Modern spark extinguishing systems prevent ignition sources from spreading and reliably protect your paper production from fires and secondary explosions.

For decades, GreCon has been developing protection concepts that are precisely tailored to the risk zones of the paper industry.

The expensive thing about fires is not the damage to property, but the loss of production and potential loss of customers. The fast and solution-oriented cooperation with GreCon customer service was very helpful to us.Teamleiter Print/Finishing

A worrying trend that underlines the importance of fire prevention – extinguish fires before they spread!

The most effective method of minimising fire and explosion risks is to use powerful spark detection and extinguishing systems in combination with tailor-made fire protection concepts for machines and critical areas – developed and implemented by Fagus-GreCon.

Consequences of a fire

Fires and explosions not only cost machinery – they endanger people, halt production and cause permanent customer losses.

Consequences:

Danger to employees
Damage to machinery, filters and exhaust air systems
Production downtime + contractual penalties
Repair and restart costs
Rising insurance premiums
Loss of image and customers

The costs of inaction are high. Effective fire protection is not just a safety measure – it is a strategic necessity.

Hazards in paper production

Industrial fire protection begins where heat, friction and combustible materials meet.

Paper processing is highly dynamic – and full of potential ignition sources. Cutting, transporting, extracting and compacting create conditions that promote sparks, embers or dust explosions.
