Optical flame detectors
To protect its waste recycling facility from fire hazards, Winters Recycling has installed eight Talentum Dual IR optical flame detectors at its Hitchin site.
“Talentum flame detectors are a great fit for our site, where the risk of fire is significant,” said Winters’ operations manager Mark Chinsky.
Talentum flame detectors are ideally suited to waste handling as they can detect almost all types of flickering flames, not just hydrocarbon flames. This is especially important in the waste industry, where flames can originate from many different sources, including paper, plastic and even metals. By utilising infra-red (IR) sensing, Talentum detectors can also identify flames irrespective of any dust, steam or smoke present, and are immune to the effects of wind or draughts.
