Every year, fires occur in belt conveyors worldwide. A fire in a belt conveyor is often hard to extinguish and can spread very quickly. In the worst case it can spread to surrounding material stacks and could last for weeks, causing major loss of revenue and production downtime.

Regardless if you transport wood chips, biomass or other material, a fi re in your belt conveyor can occur due to several reasons: friction in bearings, mechanical breakdown or burning material put on the belt are just a few examples. Because a fire in a belt conveyor can spread very rapidly, a fast acting fire protection system that also can withstand the tough conditions in and around a belt conveyor is required.

Until today, no one has succeeded to equal the performance and reliability of Firefly’s products and solutions. Firefly ConveyorGuard™ is the company’s solution to prevent fires in belt conveyors as well as other types of conveyors within the process industry.
