Robust protection for costly stock in manufacturing.
Innovative solutions to safeguard assets and ensure operational continuity.
A safety solution for Knauf’s Vise Facility.
Innovating today for a safer tomorrow.
The challenge.
Knauf’s wall insulation manufacturing facility in Vise, Belgium, has lots of valuable stock in outdoor storage areas.
But it also stores large quantities of glass wool insulation. While critical to operations, it can cause fire risks, such as arson and lightning strikes. And a phenomenon known as punking, where spontaneous combustion occurs within the material.
Knauf needed a robust and reliable flame detection system. One capable of early detection in a challenging outdoor environment.
The Micropack process.
- Assessment and review. A comprehensive risk analysis. Identifying potential fire hazards, including environmental and human-induced risks.
- Precision and expertise. Developing a solution for Knauf’s unique needs.
- Carefully integrating the new system with existing safety protocols. Seamless incorporation. And minimal disruption to operations.
The highly successful results.
- Reliable early detection. Significantly reduced risk of large-scale fires in outdoor storage areas.
- Enhanced safety. By mitigating the risks of arson, lightning, and punking.
- Uninterrupted operations. Valuable materials are protected. Business continuity is maintained. And potential losses from fire-related incidents are reduced.
