Fagus-GreCon delivers first PROTECTOR CUBE container units

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.

At IFAT Munich 2026 from May 4th to 7th, fire protection specialist Fagus-GreCon shows in Hall B6, Stand No. 135, how fire risks in the recycling process can be detected early and specifically reduced. Fires are among the central operational risks in recycling plants and substitute fuel production – in facilities, along the process chain, and in storage areas. Fagus-GreCon shows at IFAT how these risks can be reduced with a systematically planned protection concept along the entire recycling process chain. GreCon PROTECTOR RECYCLING is designed for the typical requirements of the industry – from delivery to shredding, conveying, and processing, all the way to storage and stockpile areas. In places where ignition sources arise directly in the process, preventive GreCon systems start early: they detect potential hazards in the material flow and initiate countermeasures before a fire develops. For applications such as stockpile monitoring, where classic spark extinguishing reaches its limits, complementary solutions are used – such as the GreCon SCOUT TI thermal camera in combination with suitable extinguishing technology.

The GreCon PROTECTOR remains a benchmark for safety in bulk solids, providing a reliable, modular system that detects and eliminates ignition sources without interrupting critical industrial material flows. Proven detection for complex bulk processes The processing of grains and granulates creates constant ignition risks from friction. This established system uses SCOUT sensors to identify sparks and smoldering nests even in high-dust or varying light conditions. Reliable functional components * SCOUT: High-performance sensors for early ignition detection. * HUNTER: Automated technology for millisecond response times. * RANGER: Decentralized modules for rapid on-site signal processing. * MISSION CONTROL: Central unit for analysis and process control. Stable architecture minimizes plant downtime The modular design allows for seamless integration into conveying systems and silos. By using decentralized modules and pre-assembled cabling, the system ensures high availability and simplifies maintenance routines. Standardized platform for diverse industry needs This solution provides a stable framework adaptable to specific risks in the food, biomass, and recycling…

The Dutch company Supair and Fagus-GreCon have agreed to further expand their cooperation in the Netherlands. Achieving more together: Supair and GreCon grow together. The aim is to respond even more directly to the growing demands of new industries – and to offer solutions under the name GreCon Nederland in future. ‘The long-standing, strong partnership between Supair and GreCon is the basis for the next step: with proven local expertise and a direct connection to GreCon, we are responding to growing demands – faster, closer and with expanded service,’ explains Alexander Kuppe, Managing Director of Fagus-GreCon Greten GmbH & Co. KG. Strengthening customer proximity The long-standing partnership with Supair remains the foundation – and is now becoming a joint platform for even greater customer proximity. This makes access to proven technology, advice and service easier. For existing customers, everything remains personal and familiar – including their contact person, Mr Kees van den Heuvel – with a clear advantage in terms of speed, more direct access and…
