Water Mist Fire Suppression for Dust Collectors

Flamex water mist nozzles use 316 stainless steel or brass construction for long-term reliability in corrosive dust collector environments. The system meets ATEX Zone 2 Category 3 requirements for hazardous dust locations, using fiber-optic flame detectors that isolate sensitive electronics from combustible dust surfaces, ensuring they do not exceed 200°C and eliminating false alarms in wood, metal, and grain processing facilities.

By atomizing water into 0.15mm droplets (150 microns), Flamex nozzles create exponentially larger surface area for heat absorption compared to conventional sprinklers. This ultrafine spray pattern displaces oxygen and cools fires in under 30 seconds, allowing your dust collection system to restart without thermal damage to your equipment or extended downtime.

Key Capabilities

• Reduces water consumption by 95% versus traditional deluge systems, protecting equipment from collateral water damage.
• Extinguishes combustible dust fires in under 30 seconds through rapid cooling and oxygen displacement.
• FM Global and VdS approved for dust collector and industrial manufacturing hazards.
• Prevents thermal distortion of dust collection equipment through ultrafine water mist atomization.
• Maintains 9 bar standby pressure with integrated jockey pumps for instant <300ms response time.
