Possible effects of a fire
A fire in the Tobacco industry can affect various machines and systems that are crucial to the production process. Particularly at risk are
- Tobacco mills: Tobacco mills produce considerable amounts of fine dust when grinding tobacco leaves. A spark caused by a defective motor or friction can ignite the dust and lead to a large-scale fire. A fire in the grinder can destroy the entire machine and bring production to a standstill.
- Dryer: A fire in the dryer can be caused by overheated material or mechanical friction. The burning materials can spread along the conveyor systems and ignite other machines. Failure of the dryer leads to production downtime and considerable restoration costs.
- Cooler: A fire in the cooler can damage the sensitive cooling mechanisms. This impairs the ability to bring the tobacco to the required temperature, which reduces product quality. Overheated tobacco can also pose a fire hazard if it gets into other parts of the system.
- Silos: A fire in the silo can be caused by spontaneous combustion of the stored tobacco or by sparks. The tremendous heat can weaken the structural integrity of the silo and cause burning material to spread to surrounding areas. The smoke development can also affect the air quality and pose health risks to employees.
- Extraction systems: The extraction systems that remove tobacco dust and particles from the production hall are particularly susceptible to fires. A spark that enters the extraction system can ignite the accumulated dust and cause a fire in the entire system. This can cause considerable damage to the extraction system and spread the fire to other parts of the system.
- Filters: Fires in filter systems are often caused by sparks or overheating. The filter media can catch fire, reducing the efficiency of extraction and releasing toxic fumes. The resulting smoke can impair visibility and make the working environment dangerous.
Due to the large number of potentially affected machines and systems, a fire in the tobacco industry can have not only direct but also indirect consequences that can significantly impair the company’s business processes and competitiveness.
