Save the Date: Fagus-GreCon at the POWTECH 2025

Filters may burn or even explode because of sparks within exhaust ducts. GreCon Spark Extinguishing Systems are designed to prevent this. They detect small sparks within the ducts and extinguish them in a split second. Spark sensors detect the infrared radiation of glowing particles. Immediately, a dense water mist spray which extinguishes passing sparks is created in a specified distance downstream from the spark sensors. The production process can continue without interruption during the whole procedure. Spark extinguishing systems are amongst the most efficient fire protection systems as a result of their highly-developed technique and their reliability. The use of these systems for various applications is even prescribed by the employer`s liability insurance associations and by national factory inspectorates.

Powtech Technopharm (Nuremberg, 23-25 September 2025) is the international trade fair for process engineering experts and a tailor-made technology platform for the pharmaceutical and life science industries. Its honorary sponsors are the APV (Working Group for Pharmaceutical Process Engineering) and the VDI Association of Process and Chemical Engineering. At this working trade fair, experienced companies and innovative start-ups present a wide range of technological solutions for the production and processing of powders, granulates, bulk solids, fluids and liquids for industries of all kinds. Powtech Technopharm is the gateway to the European market and provides a comprehensive look at the latest developments and industry-specific trends. For exhibitors and visitors from numerous user industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and feed industries, building and non-metallic minerals, ceramics, glass, mechanical engineering and plant construction, recycling and the environment, as well as cosmetics and batteries, Powtech Technopharm provides the perfect platform for sharing information on process and unit operations and GxP-compliant production. Powtech Technopharm is held in Nuremberg in September, with a break every third year. The next edition in conjunction with PARTEC Congress and co-located with Fachpack will take place from 23 to 25 September 2025.

A big stage for a safety system that, at best, does not come into the limelight in everyday operations. This makes the preventive fire protection system one of the 77 gold-winning solutions worldwide. A big stage for a safety system that is at best not in the spotlight in everyday business: on 28 April, fire protection specialist Fagus-GreCon received the iF DESIGN AWARD 2025 in gold. The company accepted the award for the GreCon PROTECTOR on the stage of the Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin - in front of around 2,000 guests from over 50 nations. This makes the preventive fire protection system one of 77 solutions worldwide to be honoured with gold. The GreCon PROTECTOR, a new system for fire prevention in industrial plants, impressed the international jury with its combination of technical innovation and sophisticated design - even before its official market launch. With the GreCon PROTECTOR, Fagus-GreCon plays a special role among internationally recognised design icons such as Apple and Ferrari: a fire protection system on a design award stage - that is not an everyday occurrence. A design that goes beyond pure aesthetics The jury particularly recognised

The next generation of intelligent spark detection control panels: predictive maintenance, plug & play integration and comprehensive remote access for less downtime, more safety and maximum efficiency. At LIGNA 2025, Fagus-GreCon will introduce GreCon Mission Control, the next generation of intelligent spark detection control panels. This innovative system combines predictive maintenance, plug-&-play integration, and comprehensive remote access—minimising downtime, enhancing safety, and maximising efficiency. The Command Centre of Preventive Fire Protection For a fire protection system to be fully effective, it requires a central control unit that intelligently coordinates all processes. GreCon Mission Control takes this technology to the next level - offering smart networking, real-time monitoring, and maximum system reliability. Maximised Availability Through Smart Maintenance With its Segmented Maintenance System (SMS), GreCon Mission Control sets new standards: scheduled and unscheduled maintenance can be carried out on individual components or segments of the production line without shutting down the entire system. This minimises production downtime

The new intelligent automatic extinguishing system GreCon IEM makes existing spark extinguishing systems from Fagus-GreCon even more intelligent and reliable Sensor technology integrated into the automatic extinguishing system improves the operational safety of the systems through integrated early wear detection. Automatic early wear detection The smallest leaks are automatically detected and reported to the control centre. The system operator is proactively informed about the upcoming replacement of wear parts and can systematically plan the replacement. If temperatures approach the freezing point, the integrated temperature monitoring activates the heating cartridge and thus ensures the smooth operation of the system even in outdoor areas. The risk of unplanned downtimes is reduced and system availability increases. Maintenance based on wear data Advances in sensor technology also allow maintenance intervals to be individually determined on the basis of wear data. These dynamic maintenance intervals not only extend the maintenance intervals in the context of predictive maintenance, but also increase the service

The GreCon DLD 1/9 spark detector contains the patented optical detector system and IDT® for: Detection of sparks, glowing embers and hot, non-smouldering particles The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office grants Fagus-GreCon the patent for a novel optical detector that identifies dangerous ignition sources (U.S. Patent No. US11199441B2). Fagus-GreCon, the leading provider of fire prevention systems, thereby reinforces its role as a technological leader in fire prevention. The company’s innovative optical detector is a key prerequisite for further strengthening the interconnection of fire prevention, production reliability and quality assurance. A powerful trio Thanks to Fagus-GreCon’s recently patented optical detector system, spark detectors are becoming even more reliable, as they can now be customised to the requirements at the installation site with more precision than ever before. This is made possible by multi-sensor technology which has been integrated in the optical detector to capture signals from the infrared radiation spectrum. GreCon IDT®, Fagus-GreCon’s intelligent detector technology processes the signals
