Detector Used

MICROPACK in conjunction with Fabricom Belgium, supplied, installed and commissioned a start of the art flame detection system which utilised the latest detector offering from MICROPACK; the FDS300.

The detectors were installed to protect the critical high value product outdoor storage areas of Knauf's largest plant; Vise in Belgium. The FDS300 detector was chosen for this project because of it's market leading sensitivity and 120 degree horizontal field of view.

The whole project was delivered on time, safely and within budget.

FDS300_415x533 — Designed for hazardous industries where fast optical flame detection is critical and nuisance alarms are not an option! The MICROPACK FDS300 is an explosion-proof visual flame detector.
