After one of its valuable
mobile glass crushing
machines was badly damaged
by fire, materials recycling
company, Recresco, turned to
Nobel Fire Systems to ensure
there was no repeat of the
incident.

Nobel recommended its
Stat-X fire system be fitted to
each of the glass crushers. The
Stat-X system is designed to
protect the engine and hydraulics
compartment, which
are most vulnerable in terms
of potential outbreaks of fire.

Stat-X comprises a two
stage fire detection system. If
a fire occurs the 1st stage is to
activate a local alarm and shut
down the diesel engine
powering hydraulics and
mobility. If the fire progresses,
the 2nd stage will, after a
short programmable time
delay to allow the engine and
cooling fans time to ‘spin
down’, then deploy the Stat-X
suppression system.
