Limitation of damages in case of fire! The new fire extinguishing device for interchangeable filtering units (type KKF, TKFD, MKF and INR10)
Sometimes extraction is also necessary in critical situations and glowing material or sparks are sucked in despite all caution! But to rule out a fire in the device as far as possible, the new fire extinguishing device is triggered. This opens the bottle valve of the extinguishing agent tank via a solenoid switch. The suitable extinguishing agent (e.g. CO2) is sprayed through a high pressure hose and an extinguishing nozzle directly into the extraction and filtering unit. The oxygen is displaced and the fire is extinguished. At the same time the extraction and filtering unit switches off via a potential-free relay contact. The fire extinguishing device can also be triggered manually of course if required.
In order to keep damages to the unit to a minimum in an emergency, the optical sensor detects a fire in its development phase and triggers the fire extinguishing device immediately. Not only is a fire avoided but, after changing the filter elements and installing a freshly filled extinguishing agent tank, the extraction and filtering unit can also usually be put back into operation immediately.

Great interest in the TKFVA300 and cyclone pre-separator
The Pantron/Fuchs Umwelttechnik fair booth was a magnet for the professional visitors. Special focus was placed on our latest new developments: the compact TKFVA300 extraction and filtering unit and the cyclone pre-separator. Both systems were convincing in their technical design, their high quality, and their practical possibilities for use in many different industrial applications.
Many concrete customer inquiries from the region
Numerous companies in North and South Carolina took the opportunity to find out about tailor-made extraction and filtering solutions for their specific applications with concrete inquiries on site. Further appointments to visit the companies were arranged during the fair – a clear indication of the great interest in the performance capabilities of our extraction and filtering systems.
