We provide the solution for machine tools.
A sudden deflagration may easily cause a fire
in machine tools used for metal processing (e.g. for drilling, turning on a
lathe, grinding, milling, honing) and cooled with inflammable lubricants. If
light metals or their alloys are processed, there is an additional fire
risk.
Components with a high magnesium content are of
increasing importance in the industrial serial production. The cutting of
magnesium alloys includes acute fire risks because magnesium dusts and chips
are classified as "easily flammable or self-ignitable". As these risks cannot
be completely excluded, the machines must be equipped with fire protection
systems according to the place of employment regulation and the law on
technical working equipment (device safety law/EU machine directive
89/392/EWG).
You will find the right solution at Minimax -
the Argotec fire extinguishing system. It extinguishes with inert gases or
alternatively with the noble gas argon, nitrogen or carbon dioxide. A fire
detection system is connected in series. Even if CO2 is used there
is normally no harmful concentration outside the machine due to the small
amount of extinguishant used for large extinguishing areas. Only the
extinguishant storage must be replenished after extinguishing. Afterwards the
extinguishing system is available again immediately.
