HEALTH & SAFETY INTRODUCING GRECON GRECON LTD How GreCon can help you return towards a new normal GreCon makes people and places safer and enables the ‘smart factory’ as the leading provider of innovative industrial fire prevention and process measurement solutions. GreCon Limited is located just outside of Newcastle upon Tyne and is a member of the Fagus-GreCon Group. With a wealth of experience as a global market leader, GreCon demonstrates a strong understanding of customer needs and provides turnkey solutions for a wide variety of industries including wood manufacturing, recycling, biomass, pharmaceutical, food, hygiene and more. FIRE PREVENTION TO ENABLE UNINTERRUPTED PRODUCTION GreCon’s fire prevention technology protects industrial premises, process and people, detecting and extinguishing ignition sources in mechanical and pneumatic conveying systems, filters, dryers, silos and other production areas, making workplaces safer and enabling uninterrupted production. FIRE PREVENTION OR FIRE PROTECTION? The adage, ‘prevention is better than cure’ rings true. GreCon believes that early detection of ignition sources is critically important. Once a fire starts, the results can be catastrophic. When companies are not aware of GreCon’s technologies, they rely on more conventional fire protection systems, which do not always provide the best defence. Customers are particularly interested in the recently introduced DLD 1/9, which is a highly sensitive spark, ember and hot particle detector for protection against fire and explosion in industrial processes. Intelligent Detection Technology IDT® provides optimal detection performance for all ignition sources in any environment and enables the detector to distinguish between dangerous sparks and harmless ambient light. ENABLING THE SMART FACTORY A comprehensive range of industrial process measurement solutions equips the ‘smart factory’, helping customers to improve product quality in their production processes, using proven German engineering to reduce raw material and energy costs, ultimately maximising operational efficiency. PREPARING FOR A RETURN TOWARDS A NEW NORMAL GreCon has helped businesses across multiple industries as many return towards a new normal. The pandemic has meant that companies have taken advantage of shut-down periods to optimise production processes, and GreCon has been on hand to deal with enquiries and make improvements. Managing Director Jonathan Hamill commented, “We’re available for exploratory discussions and happy to conduct no-obligation surveys. Utilising our know-how, we believe we can play a vital role in helping industry tackle the current challenge, to emerge stronger and more resilient.” CALL GRECON TODAY Today customers all over the world rely on GreCon.
