Industrial fire protection for the OSB industry

Process-integrated solutions for maximum safety and production continuity

Fire risks in OSB production are real and costly

The manufacture of OSB boards involves complex processes: chipping, drying, shaping and pressing combustible materials. Sparks, glowing particles or overheated materials can cause fires or explosions within seconds – especially in dryers, presses, extraction systems and silos.

A worrying trend that highlights 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.

GreCon PROTECTOR OSB – our protection concept for the OSB industry

OSB production requires a protection system that is designed for high temperatures, large chips and complex conveyor routes.

The GreCon PROTECTOR offers a comprehensive safety concept

  • Detection of sparks, glowing particles and overheated components in milliseconds
  • Protection of all critical process areas: chippers, dryers, presses, grinding machines
  • Protection of the entire extraction and conveyor chain: screens, moulding station, filters, cyclones, silos and bunkers
  • Automatic diversion or precise low-pressure extinguishing – in 99% of cases without interruption
  • Modular design – scalable from a single unit to a complete factory solution

How GreCon PROTECTOR works

  1. Detect – sensors identify sparks, hot particles or embers
  2. Decide – the system evaluates the risk in real time
  3. Extinguish – automatically, precisely and without interrupting production
  4. Analyse – event data helps to eliminate causes in a targeted manner

Consequences of a fire – more than just damage

Fires in OSB plants occur particularly often in areas with high dust accumulation and intense air movement. Extraction systems, filters, cyclones or silos can become sources of fire or explosion in a matter of seconds.

Economic, operational and strategic consequences:

  • Injuries and loss of life
  • Damage to machinery and equipment
  • Production downtime and loss of revenue
  • Replacement costs and increased insurance premiums
  • Loss of customers and damage to reputation

The costs of inaction are high. Effective fire protection is not only a safety measure, but a strategic necessity.

Hazards in the OSB industry

OSB production is particularly at risk because it involves large chips, high temperatures and complex conveyor systems. This combination creates an environment in which even small ignition sources can have serious consequences.

Technical risk factors:

  • High temperatures in dryers and presses
  • Sparks from chippers, saws and grinding machines
  • Glowing particles in extraction and conveyor systems
  • Dust accumulation in filters, cyclones and silos
  • Defective machine parts and material compaction

The result? An ideal environment for fires and explosions.

These risks are not theoretical – they are real, occur repeatedly and cause high costs. That is why effective fire protection is not an option, but a necessity.

And this is exactly where Fagus-GreCon comes in.

We look forward to hearing from you.
