GRECON PROTECTOR
THE FUTURE OF PREVENTIVE FIRE PROTECTION
For over 50 years, we have been developing customised fire protection concepts for every individual challenge in industrial fire protection – reliable, practical, and precisely tailored to your processes.
WITH GRECON PROTECTOR, WE ARE CONSISTENTLY ADVANCING THIS CLAIM:
AS THE NEXT GENERATION OF INTELLIGENT FIRE PROTECTION.
To make this possible, our protection concept combines the best components for detection (the SCOUTS), processing (the MISSION CONTROL and RANGER), and response (the HUNTER) in one system solution. Together, they form an intelligent protection system that not only secures hazards but thinks ahead. The result is a modular, intelligently and decentrally networked fire protection system that can flexibly adapt to highly specialised industrial processes.
ONE SYSTEM, MANY ADVANTAGES:
1 FLEXIBLE EXPANSION OPTIONS thanks to a decentralised system architecture.
2 CLEAR PLANNING, TRANSPARENT COSTS enabled by structured installation planning that makes effort and service costs precisely calculable.
3 REDUCED MAINTENANCE EFFORT thanks to central diagnostics and update functions.
What connects us is more than just a project
PARTNERSHIP-BASED COLLABORATION
Many projects start with a specific challenge. But what often evolves from it goes far beyond: long-term partnerships built on mutual trust, openness and solution-oriented collaboration.
In many industries, Fagus-GreCon is regarded as a reliable development partner – because we listen, think ahead and work on equal footing. Our customers value not only our fire protection solutions, but also the way we get there: pragmatic, personal and shaped by real responsibility. The trust that grows along the way is not based on grand promises, but on an attitude that has guided us for decades.
KIRSCHAUER TEXTIL
“Since the installation of the spark extinguishing system, we’ve had two incidents where sparks were detected and automatically extinguished. That gives us confidence that investing in preventive fire protection was the right decision.”
MARTIN BAUER GROUP
“We are among the largest tea producers in the world. During mechanical processing, smouldering particles may occur, which can trigger fires or dust explosions. We can’t afford production downtime – that’s why we produce with Fagus-GreCon.”
PELZ GROUP
“Incidents occur regularly, but thanks to the GreCon spark extinguishing systems, they can be swiftly neutralised. We extinguish at the very first spark – when it comes to safety, there’s no room for compromise.”
JELU
“We protect all potentially at-risk areas with spark extinguishing systems. As a result, we have significantly reduced the fire risk. GreCon spark extinguishing systems eliminate 99 to 99.5% of all fires before they can even start.”
GRECON SCOUT
OUR EYES ON SITE
With the SCOUT product portfolio, we offer reliable detection solutions for all hazards within the detection range – individually adapted to the specific application. Whether sparks, hot particles, smouldering nests, open flames or critical overheating: SCOUT detects early what could cause serious damage later.
MAXIMUM SAFETY AND SYSTEM AVAILABILITY
A fast and targeted response starts with reliable detection. That’s why SCOUT relies on GreCon’s intelligent IDT® detection technology, which ensures maximum detection performance under all operating conditions. Even in demanding environments with dust, stray light or fluctuating temperatures, SCOUT detects reliably and precisely. Whatever your challenge – whether high temperature, smouldering nests, sparks or open flames: thanks to adjustable sensitivity, the SCOUT system can be flexibly adapted to the specific risk situation and existing plant setup. This allows our detectors to integrate seamlessly into existing systems and provide you with tailored protection – exactly where it’s needed.
YOUR BENEFITS WITH GRECON SCOUT:
1 RELIABLE DETECTION Intelligent IDT® technology ensures reliable detection in any environment – with or without ambient light.
2 PRECISE RESPONSE Suitable for use even in environments with stray light, dust or other difficult conditions.
3 DEPENDABLE TECHNOLOGY Long service life of the detector optics thanks to flush mounting in the wall structure.
Not every sensor is suitable for every environment – extreme heat, long distances or hard-to-reach areas place special requirements on detection. For such cases, the GreCon product range includes suitable solutions such as thermal imaging cameras for monitoring bulk materials, fibre optic systems for high temperatures, or specialised thermal and explosion detectors.
GRECON HUNTER
THE INTELLIGENT EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM WITH LIGHTNING-FAST RESPONSE
The GreCon HUNTER series stands for high-precision and automated extinguishing of sparks and ignition sources – in milliseconds, using a fine water mist. At its core is the intelligent Extinguishment Technology (GreCon IET®): not only does it ensure effective extinguishing performance, it also adds smart diagnostic functions and continuous system monitoring.
Modern sensors monitor critical parameters in real time such as flow pressure, temperature trends, and the condition of nozzles and valves – and identify deviating trends early on, before they impair extinguishing performance. Optionally integrated features such as frost protection or leakage detection further increase operational reliability – even under challenging conditions.
The result: An extinguishing system offering maximum availability, minimal intervention, and preventive fire protection on a new level.
YOUR BENEFITS WITH GRECON HUNTER:
1 DETAILED SAFETY Additional features such as frost protection and leakage detection ensure stable processes.
2 HIGHLY EFFECTIVE EXTINGUISHING Automated, precise extinguishing without delay.
3 INTELLIGENT SELF-MONITORING Sensors monitor flow pressure, nozzle condition and temperature. Early wear detection and diagnostic data enable targeted maintenance.
Not every process allows the use of water. In such cases, alternative measures are used, such as diversion using pipe switches or isolation using shut-off flaps or drop-blade gates.
GRECON RANGER
THE COMMAND UNIT FOR YOUR FIRE PROTECTION
In conjunction with MISSION CONTROL, GreCon RANGER stands for a new type of decentralised control in preventive fire protection. The RANGER acts as the command unit directly on site.
This intelligent control module is installed close to detectors and extinguishing systems. Within a clearly defined area, RANGER processes incoming signals near the protected object within milliseconds – autonomously, precisely, and without any detour via central units.
Thanks to its decentralised architecture, GreCon RANGER reduces cabling requirements by up to 80%, cutting installation costs and creating the basis for future-proof system expansions through modern SPE cabling (Single Pair Ethernet). All executed actions are reported in real time to MISSION CONTROL – for maximum transparency, complete traceability, and centralised evaluation of all protection events within the system.
YOUR BENEFITS WITH GRECON RANGER:
1 FAST, DIRECT RESPONSE Signal processing directly on site – with no time delay.
2 REDUCED INSTALLATION EFFORT Less cabling and easy integration save time and resources – for example, during commissioning.
3 COMPLETE TRACEABILITY All actions are automatically reported to MISSION CONTROL.
4 FUTURE-READY MODULARITY Flexibly expandable and ready for future requirements in the protection system.
5 CLEAR INFORMATION Alarms and faults are signalled directly on the RANGER via LED strip.
GRECON MISSION CONTROL
THE HEART OF INTELLIGENT FIRE PROTECTION
The new generation of intelligent spark detection control units is much more than a modern, user-friendly interface – it is the heart of smart fire protection strategies. As the central unit, GreCon MISSION CONTROL takes preventive fire protection to a new level: it collects, analyses, and visualises safety-relevant data, controls the entire system architecture, and enables the coordination of predictive maintenance activities.
In combination with decentralised units such as the GreCon RANGER series, it forms the command centre of an intelligent protection system. At the same time, MISSION CONTROL remains compatible with proven architectures – even previous generations of control units remain supported. For protection solutions that grow smartly. In existing GreCon systems, MISSION CONTROL assumes central control logic – while decentralised units like GreCon RANGER operate with full effectiveness directly on site.
YOUR BENEFITS WITH MISSION CONTROL:
1 NEXT-LEVEL USER EXPERIENCE completely redesigned and awarded the GOLD iF Design Award 2025.
2 FASTER AND MORE COST-EFFECTIVE INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING thanks to preconfigured cabling and automatic plug-&-play compatibility checks.
3 INTELLIGENT SELF-MONITORING through remote or inline diagnostics and the option of segmented maintenance.
Industry expertise
DIFFERENT PROCESSES – SIMILAR RISKS
Since almost all materials are flammable in crushed form, the risk of fire and explosion is high in many production processes. The risks may be similar – but each industry requires individual and tailored protection concepts. Customised GreCon fire protection solutions ensure maximum availability for a wide range of industrial requirements.
WE OFFER CERTIFIED STANDARDS
Preventive fire protection is about responsibility – and about the ability to perform reliably at the crucial moment. That’s why verifiable standards are essential. International testing bodies such as VdS, TÜV or FM Global only award their certifications to systems that meet the highest requirements – and that is precisely what makes them valuable pillars of trust for operators around the world.
Our systems also bear these seals and certifications – because they reliably meet the demands of independent testing bodies around the world: maximum safety, documented quality, and technical excellence. They are the result of decades of development, continuous improvement, and a clear commitment: We extinguish before it burns!
As the inventor of the industrial spark extinguishing system, we have shaped a new form of fire protection – forward-thinking, intelligent, and consistently positioned between prevention and reaction. This decades-long expertise informs every detail of our actions – then and now.
