Industrial fire protection for the coffee industry

Maximum protection. Minimal disruption. Precisely tailored to your roasting and conveying processes.

Early detection instead of production downtime – protect your coffee production reliably

The coffee industry is characterised by high temperatures, combustible dust and long conveyor routes: from the roaster to the cooler and destoner to the filters, silos and grinding machines, an explosive mixture of air, coffee dust and coffee husks can form in many places. Just a few sparks or overheated particles are enough to trigger fires and dust explosions – with consequences ranging from production downtime to total loss.

For decades, GreCon has been developing fire protection concepts that are specifically tailored to the risk zones of the coffee industry – from green coffee reception to packaging.

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.

The solution: GreCon PROTECTOR COFFEE – our protection concept for the coffee industry

Your advantage: Modern spark and ember detection instead of risky blind spots.

GreCon PROTECTOR COFFEE protects the typical risk areas in coffee production with a comprehensive concept – from detection to extinguishing:

  • Detection of sparks and glowing particles in milliseconds
  • Immediate, automatic extinguishing or diversion in the transport system – usually without interrupting production
  • Protection of roasters, coolers, filters, cyclones, silos and grinding processes
  • Protection concepts tailored to your process control, temperature ranges and product qualities
  • Complete event and cause analysis through millisecond-precise documentation
  • Modular design – from entry-level protection for individual lines to a networked overall solution for the entire site

Benefit from 75,000 individually tailored protection concepts and experience gained from over 200,000 protected production areas. With Fagus-GreCon, you can effectively protect your company from the devastating consequences of a fire.

Consequences of a fire – more than “just” damage

Fires and explosions in coffee production not only affect individual machines – they jeopardise your ability to deliver and your customer relationships.

Typical consequences:

  • Danger to employees
  • Damage to roasters, filters, silos and transport systems
  • Production downtime and delivery delays
  • Repair and replacement costs
  • Rising insurance premiums
  • Loss of revenue and customers

The costs of inaction are high. An effective fire protection concept is therefore a strategic decision – not just a matter of compliance.

Hazards in coffee production

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

The processing of green coffee is highly dynamic: beans are heated, moved, cooled, separated and ground. This creates numerous ignition sources – and at the same time conditions under which fires and dust explosions can spread quickly.

  • Sparks and embers from roasters and coolers
  • Overheated particles due to foreign objects or defective machine parts
  • Fine, combustible dust layers in filters, silos and pipes
  • Long mechanical and pneumatic conveyor routes that carry ignition sources further
  • Deposits of coffee skins and dust as additional fire load

The result: an environment in which a single spark is enough to ignite filters, silos or conveyor systems – with high damage potential for people, equipment and brand image.

We look forward to hearing from you.
