CO monitor keeps watch for fires in mills

The Mill Fire Detector addresses and successfully prevents the danger of serious fire and explosions due to the rapid heating of stagnant coal inside pulverising mills.
As part of the new Coal Fire Detection system from Land instruments international, the Mill Fire Detector - a highly sensitive rapid response CO monitor - addresses and successfully prevents the danger of serious fire and explosions due to the rapid heating of stagnant coal inside pulverising mills.
The CO detector is the fastest and most effective way of recognising hidden dangers and providing an early warning of the risk of fire.
The Mill Fire Detector is simple to install and can be applied to both horizontal and vertical mills (typically positioned on the classifier outlet) or in silos and bins, where it continuously monitors CO levels with dual sensors which constantly self-check and feature auto-calibration.
An alarm provides advance warning of the onset of combustion before damage can be caused and can be set site - specifically to suit operating conditions and to compensate for externally introduced CO.
The product is very low-maintenance, specifically designed to withstand the tough conditions of the coal process.
The analyser features fast responding measurement technology and has a measuring range of 0-4000ppm.
One significant strength of the product is its adaptability to the customer's needs.
A twin stream system is available so that two points on a single mill or two different mills can be simultaneously monitored and installation costs kept to a minimum.
The detector is also suitable for use on silos or conveyors.
The Mill Fire Detector is a reliable, accurate and easy to maintain method of providing peace of mind and saving the expenses of replacements, repairs and downtime and can even reduce insurance premiums.
