Conveyor and transport fire detection

The Pyroscan3 is best used in conveyor and transport fire detection. Its success in the industrial and mining sectors is because the system is specifically designed for the protection of areas where a movement of materials with a fire potential is a routine occurrence or the transport mechanism is susceptible to fire.

The PyroScan3 system employs enhanced infrared monitoring technology that enables the detection of both small glowing embers within direct sight of the sensor, and black body low energy sources buried within the transported material that would not be registered by other types of flame, spark or ember detector. By the use of both optical filtering and electronic analysis of the various parameters the system is blind to visible light from the sun or local luminaires, while being able to detect relatively low temperature material moving through the field of view.
