Imperial Offers Fire Prevention Device

Imperial Systems Inc., Jackson Center, Pa., says its “abort gates” are designed to play an important role in duct spark or leak detection systems.

The high-speed abort gate, according to an Imperial Systems news release, can be located prior to the inlet of a dust collection system to prevent a flame or burning ember from entering the dust collection system. This method is used if extinguishment from your spark detection equipment is not adequate or not an option.

Leak detection or broken bag sensors also can activate the abort gate in the event of a filter failure. The abort gate can be placed on the return air side of the dust collector to redirect contaminated air to a safe location.

“An abort gate is just another way to keep personnel and dust collection equipment protected,” says the Imperial Systems’ news release.

Standard features include:

·         heavy-duty fully welded steel construction

·         10-volt control panel

·         manual gate reset by a hand-crank actuator,

·         gate accelerating springs

·         fail-safe electro-magnets

·         painted OSHA safety yellow

·         steel gate seals; and

·         limit switches for gate position indication.

An electric gate reset, weather hood, inlet and outlet transitions, support structure and ladder and service platform are all available as optional features.
