Printing Industry

Innovative flame detection solutions built for the printing industry. 

Fires within the printing industry can be extremely dangerous and costly. 

The importance of fire safety in the Printing industry

Printing facilities can present a multitude of fire hazards. They typically house a mixture hazardous, flammable chemicals used for printing.  If printing fires are not detected early and extinguished, they can cause a huge amount of destruction. 

Particular risks in printing include:

  • Paper fires in Infrared Dryers and UV curing units
  • Explosions in dryers due to high blanket wash solvent vapour levels
  • Fire and explosion in flexographic and gravure printing due to flammable inks

Minimise risk of fire spread of fire by:

  • Segregating printing, storage and other areas
  • Ensuring mixing of solvent-based inks is carried out in dedicated fire resisting room
  • Provide Fire detection and extinguishing systems e.g. Co2 – manual and automatic
  • Provide dampers to isolate solvent recovery units in event of fire
