Don't overlook the fire risk at waste disposal facilities by "area"
Do you face any of these challenges at your waste treatment facility?
- Fire monitoring is not possible at night or when no one is present
- High risk of fire inside garbage pits and crushers
- Spot thermometers have limited monitoring range
- I want to implement it at the lowest possible cost.
At waste disposal facilities, the number of sudden fires and abnormal heat caused by the inclusion of lithium batteries and home appliances is increasing every year.
The TP-L series is thermal image sensor that addresses these on-site issues by achieving "surface monitoring," "automatic alarms," and "space-saving and low-cost."
Solution Overview
Compact thermal image sensor TP-L series
The TP-L is a small thermal image sensor that visualizes the temperature distribution of an object in real time and can output an alarm if the set temperature is exceeded.
- Early detection of fire and abnormal heat
- Surface monitoring prevents oversight
- Automatic equipment linkage via alarm contact
It has been introduced in many process with high fire risk, such as garbage pits, crushers, and conveyor lines.
Three scenarios where you can see the benefits of implementing the system
1) Detecting fires in garbage pits
Assignment
- We want to monitor 24 hours a day, but we don't have enough manpower.
- A sensor that can cover a wide area is required
After introducing TP-L
- Installed approximately 10m away
- One TP-L with a 60° field of view angle can monitor most of the pit area
- Sprinklers at 35°C, fire alarms at 40°C
Low-cost monitoring over a wide area with a small number of units
② Fire monitoring for garbage crushers
Assignment
- Risk of fire due to frictional heat during crushing
- I want to link the equipment immediately in the event of an abnormality
After introducing TP-L
- One unit installed in each crushing section and conveying line
- Sprinkler activation at 60°C, fire alarm at 90°C
- Alarm signals are input to the sequencer for automatic control
Detects signs of fire and automatically protects equipment
3) Heat generation monitoring of waste crushers (surface monitoring)
Assignment
- Spot thermometers limit monitoring points
- Don't miss localized fever
After introducing TP-L
- Switching from point monitoring to surface monitoring
- Covering multiple monitoring points with one unit
- Stable measurement even at distances of 3m or more
Seeing the whole picture means you won't miss any signs of abnormality
Four reasons to choose TP-L
-
Surface monitoring prevents oversight
Detects localized heat generation and signs of fire on a surface that cannot be detected with a spot thermometer.
-
Alarm contact make it easy to link with other equipment
Can be linked to sprinklers, fire alarms, and PLC. Immediate response without human intervention.
-
Compact and space-saving design
Easy to install in tight spaces and harsh environments.
-
Low-cost implementation
Covering a wide area with fewer units.
As a result, achive fire prevention measures that reduce total costs.
Safe even in dusty environments | Dedicated protective case
In locations with a lot of dust or flying debris, we recommend using the dedicated protective case (TP-ZCC1).
- Material: Stainless steel (SUS304)
- With air purge function
- Protects the sensor from dust and collisions
Recommended for the following situations
- Waste incineration facility
- Industrial waste treatment facilities
- Recycling Plant
- Crushing and sorting line
Product inquiries and consultations
We will propose installation methods, model selection, and alarm settings that suit the site conditions.
Prevent fires at the early stage, rather than responding after they occur.
Why not improve the safety of your waste treatment facility with the TP-L series?
