Fike

There’s not a perfect word that encapsulates everything Fike offers, so “consultancy” is the best and fastest way for us to say: We are here to help in any way we possibly can. But Fike is much more than just a consultant – rather, we are a partner who can offer end-to-end solutions for most problems. Fike’s Explosion Safety Consultants will:

• Prioritize your hazards based on their severity and likelihood of occurring
• Identify cost-effective methods for reducing risk
• Work within your budget and production schedule to ensure your business goals are also met

Do you need dust testing to learn about the combustible properties of your facility’s handled dust? Or have you already completed dust testing but are unsure what to do next with the results? Fike offers both comprehensive dust testing services and analysis of the data to make necessary safety improvements to your process and in the design of an explosion protection system.

Far too many active dust collection systems are currently unprotected from industrial fires, even though NFPA 660 requires that automatic fire protection systems must be installed where dust fire hazards exist. Fike DCX is a simple-to-install, yet ultra-reliable fire suppression system specifically engineered for dust collectors. The DCX kit comes pre-assembled with:

• Cylinders
• Pre-Built Manifold
• Nozzles
• Detection & Control

Fike explosion protection systems help prevent the unthinkable from happening so your business and employees can stay protected from deadly accidents and disasters. With over 80 years of research, explosion testing and product development, Fike has set the standard for quality and performance in explosion protection solutions.  When combustion occurs, the deflagration’s pressure will challenge the structural integrity of the vessel and will propagate into connected ducts and equipment, resulting in even greater damage. Various explosion protection methods are used to quickly and reliably reduce the vessel’s pressure and to protect upstream and downstream equipment. These include explosion suppression, explosion venting,  explosion isolation and flameless venting.  To find out more go to: https://www.fike.com/explosion-protection/solutions/

The EXP System Controller is the heart of Fike's explosion suppression system. Its state-of-the-art design features a micro-processor-based main circuit board specifically designed to monitor the protected hazard and react to incipient explosions by activating the components of the explosion protection system. Custom programmable using Fike’s EXP configuration software, Fike EXP is FM and Atex approved and supports all Fike's “active” explosion protection equipment, which may include any combination of pressure and optical detectors, suppression canisters (Fike HRDs), chemical isolation bottles (Fike SRDs) and explosion isolation valves (Fike EIVs). The EXP offers:

• Improved User Interface
• Real-Time Status
• Passive System Monitoring
• System Scalability

Explosion vents effectively mitigate combustible dust explosions by providing a planned pathway for expanding flames and pressure to escape. Fike offers a wide variety of explosion vent panel types and sizes to meet the specific application requirements.

Flameless vents may be installed over explosion vents to extinguish flames while still allowing pressure to escape, making indoor “passive” explosion protection solutions possible. A flameless venting system that offers greater explosion venting efficiency, potentially fewer required devices and improved cost of ownership. Flameless Venting offers:

• Very small safety distance
• No external hazardous zoning required
• Not restricted by existing hazardous zoning
• NFPA 68 compliant
• FM Approved

Fike offers numerous flameless venting solutions including the FlamQuench III SQ , FlamQuench II SQ and the FlamQuench II.
