High glass performance

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.
