So your delivery capability doesn’t fall by the wayside—WAGNER at the 32nd German Logistics Congress
The German Logistics Congress (DLK) is one of Germany and Europe’s leading events devoted to the subjects of logistics and supply chain management. More than 3,000 professional visitors from 40 countries are expected to attend the 32nd such event, to be held October 28-30, 2015. As a specialised fire protection provider for high-bay warehouses, cold storage facilities and hazardous materials storage, WAGNER will once again be exhibiting at the DLK in Berlin.
Reducing oxygen in order to stifle fires even before they start—that is the goal of WAGNER’s OxyReduct® fire prevention system. Because even small fires can cause a great deal of damage: interrupting logistics processes, limiting delivery capability, destroying goods and assets. To make sure these scenarios do not become reality, OxyReduct® uses nitrogen to keep oxygen levels in protected areas at a consistently lower level, thereby preventing fires from developing. Nitrogen, a natural inert gas, is generated directly from the surrounding air, for example using the resource-conserving VPSA (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption) technology. Even under extreme conditions, such as those found in deep-freeze storage facilities, this principle works effectively and reliably. With OxyReduct®, the consequential damage that results from using conventional water- or foam-based fire suppression systems becomes a thing of the past.
The system was first introduced in 1998, and has now been successfully installed more than 850 times. The world’s largest high-bay deep-freeze warehouse, located in Richmond, Washington State, USA, has a WAGNER-brand inerting system protecting its 1.05 million cubic metres of volume.
Detecting fires even before they spread: TITANUS®early fire detection systems make it possible. If a serious situation occurs, targeted action can be taken quickly in response. The principle behind the air sampling smoke detector is a simple one: TITANUS® devices actively sample the ambient air through pipelines, and then evaluate these samples using the “High Power Light Source” optical detection method. This enables the TITANUS® to detect even the minutest quantities of pyrolysis particles with sensitivity up to 2,000 times greater than that of conventional point-type detectors. All models in the TITANUS® family use fire pattern recognition with patented LOGIC•SENS technology, which reliably analyses smoke particles to identify fire patterns, and automatically identifies environmental interference factors in order to prevent false alarms. The detection equipment is impressively robust, and can be used even in extremely difficult locations, such as in very dusty areas or below-zero temperatures.
WAGNER will be presenting its concepts and solutions at Stand W/14 in the winter garden of the InterContinental Hotel.
