Argus Fire Control manufactures a broad-range of fire suppressing system components for all types of textile production processes threatened by fire hazards or metal contaminants. Through the use of a patented infrared detector, a spark or glowing ember is detected, instantaneously firing a suppression tank, shutting down production equipment and closing dampers to halt the spread of the fire and alerting production personnel to the incident. Experience over the years has identified a broad range of hazards in spinning mills. These include: “Hot Bales” received from cotton gins, stones in cotton bales, stray metal and wire in bales, loose metal from the production process itself, friction and choke-up, and even electrical short circuits in production equipment. Given this broad-range of hazards Argus equipment is used productively within many production processes including.
