Hennecke GmbH - machines and plants for polyurethane processing
Primary and secondary safety
Primary safety features prevent the formation of explosive atmospheres from the start - from the tank farm to the foaming station. Additional secondary safety is a provided by a series of technical protection features.

Pentane tank farm
Our special pentane storage equip-
ment, based on double-walled underground tanks, includes the following:

Pentane pump feeding gas to the PENTAMAT system
Overfilling protection
Integral vacuum extraction
Level measurement
Leak monitoring
Vent fittings / safe filling valves
Maintenance and inspection hatches

Computer-controlled PENTAMAT premixing station

Work tank
The leak-free stirrer embodies special design features and process engineering to prevent the formation of explosive atmospheres.

High-pressure metering machine TopLine HK-P
TopLine HK-P metering units are available in various sizes.

Control concept
The PPT safety control concept integrates the following functions:

Visual display of leak monitoring results
Differential pressure gauge indicating extraction system status
Shut-off of raw material supply and feedback in case of an incident
  Secondary safety

Pentane extraction devices
Vacuum extraction systems must be fitted at critical points to capture potential pentane emissions.

Enclosures
Machinery and equipment such as the PENTAMAT station and work tank, as well as the HK-P series high-pressure reaction moulding unit, are fully enclosed and fitted with extraction systems, pentane gas sensors and other safety devices.

Pentane sensors
These gas warning devices monitor all critical plant areas such as the tank farm, pre-mixing station, metering unit and foaming machine.

Inert gas protection
To prevent inflammable pentane/air mixtures from forming at the metering stage, at least 70 % of the foam expansion volume are filled with nitrogen (N2). The nitrogen is supplied into the cabinet to be foam-filled via an additional injection system on the mixhead.
