The picture shows how nicely a conveyor belt can burn. Last year Spero Group formed a business alliance with Zeroblaze, a then newly-established local company that specialises in automatic fire suppression systems. These products complement the SL2000 well in the mining industry, permitting the combination of both the monitoring capability of SL2000 with fire suppression.
Another of the products in this range is the Titan vehicle fire explosion suppression system, which is a combination of Z+1 system and the Extreme Technology systems. Features include:
* Heat or flame activation.
* Foam extinguishing agent (FEF).
* Multiple nozzle release of agent.
* Flow control preset for specific application (fast or slow release).
* Alarm triggering on sensor activation.
* Portable cradle for ease of transportation.
* Easily rechargeable (water and foam).
* Foam agent guaranteed for 10 years depending on water quality.
Applications would include the protection of belt drive systems and second knock transformer protection.
