Atexon® Spark Detection and Extinguishing System by IEP Technologies

Spark Detection and Extinguishing Systems are widely used to protect and mitigate against fires and explosions in many industrial facilities, by continually monitoring for ignition sources (e.g. sparks, embers, hot particles and overheated fan components) within pneumatic process lines, and activating rapidly when required to prevent the potentially serious safety and financial consequences for the plant, the process, and any people working in the vicinity of the operation.

A key component in the Atexon System is the innovative SD300-EX series Spark Detector, which ensures reliable detection of ignition sources in the visible or infra-red light wavelengths, even in the presence of dense material flows. The SD300-EX also features a 180-degree wide field of view, ensuring no blind spots, potentially resulting in a reduction in the quantity of detectors required. These detectors feature corrosion resistant stainless steel (AISI 316L) housings and for certain applications, they can be mounted without the need for welding, providing reduced installation time and cost.

Atexon spark detection and extinguishing systems provide protection for many different industrial sectors that routinely handle explosible dust and/or powders. Due to the danger of dust explosion, such applications require a reliable extinguishing system. The Atexon Spark Detection and Suppression system can be the ideal choice for many of these demanding applications.

Technologies has recently received third party approval by Factory Mutual (FM), meeting the detailed requirements of the latest version of FM 3265:2020.

The Atexon System also recently underwent an overall design upgrade, providing users with even more application, operational and installation benefits.
