In the woodworking and processing industry, high fire loads can arise from raw and auxiliary materials, dust and processing.
Requirements
In the woodworking and processing industry, a high fire load is often caused by combustible raw and auxiliary materials, by dust generation and whirling up during processing, as well as by liquids, solvents and adhesives.
This accelerates the spread of fire and makes firefighting more difficult, which means it can cause serious all-out damage. Sprinkler systems are urgently required in manufacturing and storage areas in the timber industry. Sprinkler systems are urgently required in manufacturing and storage areas in the timber industry. Water spray extinguishing systems are suitable for wood dust and wood chip silos or as an alternative to sprinkler systems. The systems from Holzhauer-Pumpen detect and report fires, initiate the extinguishing process independently and thus offer reliable protection around the clock.
Solutions
Holzhauer-Pumpen was significantly involved in developing the idea of supplying pump units in compact design more than 30 years ago. Since then, we have achieved the highest level of perfection when it comes to this design, which has enabled us to defend our technological leadership over the competition.

Our HSA exhaust system is equipped with all the necessary connection parts and components that are compatible with our units. This significantly reduces assembly times. The individual components also have a much lower weight than conventional, welded steel pipe systems, which in turn allows for assembly with minimal effort.

The exhaust gas aftertreatment for our diesel systems regenerates automatically, is equipped with a pressure and temperature probe and is connected to the controller.

Noise has a negative effect on both the entire body as well as on our health. Diesel fire pump units are loud and subject to intense vibrations due to their design – thanks to our SCHALLEX system and other measures, such as encapsulation of the entire unit, we have managed to reduce vibrations and noise down to a minimum.

We supply ready-to-operate and ready-to-connect emergency power units, also as prefabricated stations and also super-silenced. On request, the units can be equipped with walk-in intake and exhaust air silencers for a surge load capacity of up to 800 kVA or are manufactured in compact design with coordinated controller and mains switching.
