Conveyor systems in paper mills present a significant fire risk, where friction from seized rollers or overheating bearings can quickly lead to ignition and rapid fire spread across highly flammable materials. Early detection is critical to preventing downtime and protecting both assets and personnel.
To address this challenge, Bandweaver deployed its FireLaser fiber optic Linear Heat Detection system, providing continuous temperature monitoring along the conveyor infrastructure. Installed close to critical components such as bearings, the system enables early identification of abnormal heat build-up before ignition occurs.
With advanced alarm strategies, including maximum temperature thresholds and rate-of-rise detection, the solution delivers precise event localisation and early warning, allowing operators to take action before incidents escalate.
The result is a reliable, low-maintenance fire detection solution that improves safety, reduces operational risk, and supports continuous production across critical manufacturing processes.
