Risks:
We very often encounter painting systems for product finishing in all sorts of industries, where a very high probability for fire exists. Reasons for fires in painting shops and paint booths most often are: flammable painting materials, electrical voltage on electrostatic paint guns in connection with flammable materials, occurrence of explosive atmospheres due to the presence of flammable vapors or solvents, insufficient grounding, and deposition of paint on booths, filters or cyclones.
Solution:
Paint booths for painting with powder and liquid painting materials require specific approaches to their fire and explosive protection design. The RSBP Company has developed its own paint booth protection systems and provides a full range of services and products related to paint booth protection. From manufacture, to delivery, to final assembly, and service, all aspects of the process are protected to minimize the risk of fire occurrence with its related potential for very costly damage to high technology systems and buildings.
Highly sensitive optical detectors constantly monitor all critical spots in a paint booth. In case there is an ignition source, the detector senses its radiation and after evaluation by a control unit extinguishing is activated. The control unit is interconnected with the paint line control system as well, and shuts down spraying equipment in real time, in order to prevent additional delivery of flammable materials into protected areas. Thus the incipient fire is very quickly and efficiently extinguished by the RSBP protection system, and line production can be renewed in a very short time. Only such protection can minimize the costs and stoppages caused by fire.
