Specialist manufacturer of aspirating smoke detection pipes and fittings, Bisson, have launched a new Dust Filter to safeguard air sampling detection (ASD) systems operating in dusty conditions.
Air sampling detection (also known as aspirating smoke detection) delivers early warnings of fire by continuously sampling air throughout a structure and can detect fire before visible smoke or flames appear.
Acting as a protective barrier, Bisson’s new ASD Dust Filter removes contaminants before they can enter the air sampling unit or clog any first-stage filters.
“From industrial facilities to manufacturing plants, dust and particulates can quickly accumulate, reducing the sensitivity of aspirating smoke detection systems. With our new purpose-built ASD Dust Filter, systems operating in harsh environments can continue to deliver consistent, accurate and efficient fire detection” says Steve Davis, General Manager of Bisson.
In addition to maintaining sensitivity, the ASD Dust Filter reduces maintenance requirements and extends the lifespan of the detector’s primary filter, helping to lower long-term operating costs.
To support use in harsh industrial and manufacturing applications, the Dust Filter has been engineered to withstand exposure to chemicals and fuels, while also being tear-resistant.
“Aspirating smoke detection systems are the best safety solution for high-risk and hazardous settings, thanks to their exceptional sensitivity and ability to provide the earliest possible warning. However, these systems are only as effective as their network of air-sampling pipework. Our pipes and fittings are purpose-built to perform in the harsh conditions these systems operate in and we are confident our new Dust Filter will be a key product in our range” adds Steve.
Established in 2002, Bisson is a UK-based supplier of precision-engineered pipes and fittings for aspirating smoke detection systems. All of their products are manufactured in-house, with full traceability, and are supplied to clients worldwide.
Certified to EN54 Part 20, Bisson products exceed European quality standards and are compatible with leading aspirating smoke detection system brands, such as Xtralis, Wagner, Securiton or Faast.
“With unrivalled experience and a comprehensive range of aspirating smoke detection pipes and fittings, we’re proud to be a trusted partner for fire safety experts worldwide. We’re committed to creating new products, like our ASD Dust Filter, that continue to deliver the highest levels of fire safety, even in the most challenging environments” concludes Steve.
