GreCon PROTECTOR

Spark Extinguishing Systems

Pioneer & World Leader
Prevents Fires & Explosions

Fagus-GreCon Greten GmbH & Co. KG is the inventor and global pioneer of industrial spark detection and extinguishing systems.
Introduced in 1973, GreCon’s first spark detection system was specifically developed to prevent fires and dust explosions in industries handling combustible materials — including wood, metal, paper, rubber processing, food production, textiles, animal feed, biomass, and recycling.
The GreCon Spark Detection & Extinguishing System quickly became the industry benchmark, capable of detecting sparks and glowing particles in ducts and automatically extinguishing them before they reach filters, silos, or other critical equipment.
  • Fully automatic operation
  • Minimal maintenance requirements
  • Proven reliability and performance
  • Certified and patented technology

GreCon SCOUT
Real-World Reliability

With the SCOUT product portfolio, we offer reliable detection solutions for all types of hazards in the detection zone – individually tailored to each application. Whether sparks, hot particles, smouldering nests, open flames or critical overheating: SCOUT detects early what could later cause major damage.
Maximum safety and system availability:
  • Reliable Detection:
    Intelligent Detection Technology IDT® provides reliable detection in any environment, with or without extraneous light.
  • Precise Response:
    Suitable for use even in ambient light, dust or other challenging conditions.
  • Reliable Technology:
    Long service life of the sensor optics, thanks to flush-mounted installation in the wall.
Not every sensor is suitable for every environment – extreme heat, long distances or areas that are difficult to access place special demands on detection. For such cases, the GreCon product range offers suitable solutions such as thermal imaging cameras for monitoring piles of bulk material, fibre optic systems for high temperatures or special thermal and explosion detectors.
 

GreCon DLD 1/9 Spark Detector

Best per­for­mance in any en­vi­ron­ment
The DLD 1/9 is a highly sensitive detector for detecting sparks and hot particles. Its detection reliability is unaffected by interference from daylight or artificial lighting. Excellent detection performance for all ignition sources in any environment thanks to adaptive detection technology.
 

GreCon FM 1/8 Spark Detector

Best for dark con­di­tions
The FM 1/8 is a highly sensitive spark and ember detector for protection against fire and explosion in industrial processes. The detector reacts to the infrared range of light radiated by an ignition source. It is designed to be used in an environment free from ambient light.
 

GreCon FM 3/8 Spark Detector

Best for high-tem­per­a­ture environment
The FM 3/8 is a highly sensitive spark and ember detector for protection against fire and explosion in industrial processes. It uses fibre optic cables to deal with high material temperatures (up to 500 °C) used in certain industrial processes. The detector reacts to the infrared range of light radiated by an ignition source. It is designed to be used in an environment free from ambient light.
 

GreCon HUNTER
Lightning Fast Response

The GreCon HUNTER series stands for high-precision, automated extinguishing of sparks and ignition sources – in milliseconds, using the finest water mist. At its heart is Intelligent Extinguishment Technology (GreCon IET®): Not only does it ensure effective extinguishing processes, it also enhances them with smart diagnostic functions and continuous system monitoring.
Max­i­mum pro­tec­tion with min­i­mum dis­rup­tion:
  • Safety in Every Detail:
    Additional functions such as leak detection and frost protection ensure stable processes.
  • Lightning-Fast Extinguishing:
    Automated and precise extinguishing action activates instantly at the most critical moment.
  • Intelligent Self-Monitoring:
    Sensors monitor flow pressure, nozzle condition and temperature. Early wear detection and diagnostic data enable targeted maintenance.
Not every process allows the use of water. In these cases, alternative measures are used, such as flushing with pipe diverters or shutting off with pipe shut-off valves or drop knife gates.
 

GreCon IEM Extinguishing Module

Intelligent Extinguishing Technology
The GreCon IEM Module comes in four variations — IEM, IEM Pro, IEM Max, and IEM Max Plus.
The IEM Max Plus offers all the benefits - with parameters such as the detection of water flow, water flow pressure, micro-leaks, wear detection of nozzles and valves.
 

GreCon Diversion Gates Assembly

Divert Ignition Sources
Diversion gates are optional components of the GreCon Spark Extinguishing System designed to mechanically close transport ducts and redirect material flow into an alternate branch. They are primarily used in positive-pressure conveying lines and drop chutes, and are suitable for handling corrosive media as well as applications in the food industry.
The diversion gate is automatically released and reset via the system’s control console. An optional electrical actuator module is available to enable manual “open/close” operation when required.
 

GreCon Fire Traps Assembly

Stops Propagation of Fire
The fire trap is an optional component of the GreCon Spark Extinguishing System. In case of an alarm, the fire trap closes a transport duct mechanically. It me­chan­i­cal­ly seal trans­port chan­nels and pro­tect the down­stream ma­te­r­i­al flow from ig­ni­tion.
 

GreCon MISSION CONTROL
Take Control. Take Command.

The new generation of intelligent spark detection control panels is much more than just a modern, user-friendly interface – it is the heart of smart industrial fire protection strategies. As a central unit, GreCon MISSION CONTROL takes preventive industrial fire protection to a new level: it collects, analyses and visualises safety-related data, controls the entire system architecture and enables the coordination of predictive maintenance measures.
The heart of in­tel­li­gent in­dus­tri­al fire pro­tec­tion:
  • Next-Level User Experience:
    Meticulously redesigned and awarded with the GOLD iF Design Award 2025 for intuitive, high-precision operation.
  • Streamlined Installation & Commissioning:
    Preconfigured cabling and automated plug-and-play checks simplify setup and reduce commissioning time.
  • Optimized Uptime:
    Remote and inline diagnostics, combined with segmented maintenance options, ensure smooth, continuous operation.
 

GreCon RANGER Extension

Decentralised Control
In conjunction with MISSION CONTROL, GreCon RANGER represents a new type of decentralised control for preventive industrial fire protection measures. RANGER takes on the role of command centre directly on site.
The decentralised architecture reduces cabling costs by up to 80%, thereby lowering installation costs and creating the basis for future-proof system expansions through modern SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) cabling. All measures taken are reported back to MISSION CONTROL in real time – for maximum transparency, seamless tracking and centralised evaluation of all protection processes in the system.
