When the conveyor belt catches fire, the following measures should be taken immediately:
Quickly extinguish the fire source: Use fire extinguishers or firefighting equipment to quickly extinguish the fire source to reduce the spread and expansion of the fire.br> Evacuate personnel: Ensure that on-site personnel evacuate quickly to avoid casualties.br> Protect on-site property: Minimize property damage caused by fires while ensuring safety.br> Notify firefighting and rescue personnel: promptly notify firefighting and rescue personnel to arrive and carry out professional firefighting and rescue work.br> In addition, preventive measures are equally important, including regular checks on the operation of the conveyor belt to ensure that there is no risk of fire caused by malfunctions or wear and tear; Keep the conveyor belt channel unobstructed to avoid the accumulation of debris causing fires; And regularly maintain and upkeep the conveyor belt to ensure it is in good working condition.br> The application of linear temperature sensing cable detectors and infrared thermal imagers on conveyor belts is also an effective preventive measure. Linear temperature sensing cable detectors can be widely used in cable tunnels, cable trenches, and other places in various industries such as power, steel, petrochemicals, and transportation, as well as for fire detection and alarm of large indoor and outdoor storage equipment and explosive stacking. Infrared thermal imaging cameras can detect burning coal in advance, prevent coal from igniting conveying equipment, and provide timely warning, thereby reducing or avoiding belt conveyor accidents.br> In summary, in the face of a conveyor belt fire, quickly extinguishing the fire source, evacuating personnel, protecting on-site property, and notifying firefighting and rescue personnel are the most important response measures. Meanwhile, by implementing preventive measures and applying technology, the risk of conveyor belt fire can be effectively reduced.
