Strong manufacturer of textile quality control technologies, USTER® prevents fires that may break out in the textile firms with JOSSI FIRE SHIELD. JOSSI FIRE SHIELD, which was developed for the textile sector where raw materials have a high level of flammability and the stone or metal particles left in the fibre can hit steel machine parts and cause sparks or cotton can stick around fast moving parts of the machine and lead to inflammation, has multiple sensors and thus can prevent danger at the beginning by distinguishing harmless electric discharge and dangerous heat sources.
End to Production Losses
JOSSI FIRE SHIELD also detects factors causing ignition and inflammation and thus, enables timely interference. In the production processes where synthetic fibres are used, JOSSI FIRE SHIELD also prevents production stops resulting from incorrect alarms due to electrostatic structures of the fibres since it has sensors to distinguish between power discharges and fire sources.
USTER® JOSSI FIRE SHIELD where fire detection is based on detection of heat source can distinguish short term heat source from long term heat source. In this manner, it prevents production loss by ensuring that production is stopped only in the necessary cases.
It is necessary to understand the fire process
Suggesting that USTER® JOSSI FIRE SHIELD should be used along with USTER® JOSSI METAL SHIELD for effective results, Gabriela Peters, Yarn Test Product Manager of Uster Technologies, expressed that fire process should be understood very well in order to take preventive measures against the danger of fire and fire process which may start with a simple physical event can lead to blasts. Stating that many firms make production by deactivating certain alarm systems in the fire detection systems or connect the system to a single heat sensor in order to reduce its sensitivity, Peters emphasized that such acts may prevent detection of all types of fire and reduce the efficiency of the system.
