In recent years, scrap metal recycling facilities have experienced an increase in fire activity, due to increased numbers of lithium-ion batteries that are used in consumer goods, then recycled. LI-ion batteries are prone to catch fire if broken or crushed. As scrap metals are cut, crushed, compacted, or shredded, any traces of combustible substances (like LI-ion batteries) can ignite when pressure is applied or sparks from friction are present.
Fire alarms and fire-fighting systems only initiate when a fire already exists. Our thermal monitoring systems detect hot spots before a fire occurs so that the necessary measures can be taken.
