In the intricate landscape of modern manufacturing, ensuring the safety of personnel and assets is paramount. Fires, though infrequent, pose catastrophic risks, leading to severe injuries, extensive property damage, and significant operational downtime. This underscores the critical need for reliable flame detection systems. However, industrial businesses often face a dilemma: investing in top-tier safety technology without compromising budgetary constraints. At Shanghai Gewei Electronic Safety Equipment Co., Ltd. (GEWEE), we understand this challenge intimately. We are dedicated to pioneering solutions that offer uncompromised safety alongside economic viability. Our flagship GW100UV flame detector stands as a testament to this philosophy, delivering advanced detection capabilities at an accessible cost, redefining what’s possible in manufacturing safety.
The GEWEE Commitment to Intelligent Safety
GEWEE has established itself as a leader in industrial safety, providing a comprehensive suite of solutions that extends beyond simple hardware. Our primary offerings include cutting-edge flame detection equipment, highly precise gas detection systems, and advanced IoT systems seamlessly integrated with robust cloud platforms. This holistic approach ensures that industries are not just protected, but intelligently monitored and managed. For our flame detection systems, we leverage state-of-the-art UV/IR and multi-spectral technologies, fortified with advanced AI analysis. This powerful combination enables our detectors to identify actual flames with exceptional accuracy while intelligently distinguishing them from common false alarm sources, a frequent frustration in industrial environments.
Introducing the GW100UV: Where Precision Meets Practicality
The GEWEE GW100UV is engineered for optimal performance and reliability in demanding industrial settings, particularly suitable for industrial plants. At its core lies a 32-bit high-precision data processing chip, providing rapid and accurate signal analysis. This sophisticated processing power works in tandem with an imported low-noise UV photoelectric sensor and our proprietary self-developed infrared pyroelectric sensor. The dual-sensor approach (UV/IR) is crucial: the UV sensor excels at detecting the UV radiation emitted by flames, while the IR sensor identifies specific infrared frequencies, and the combination effectively minimizes nuisance alarms caused by non-fire sources like welding arcs or hot machinery. This synergy ensures that when an alarm is triggered, it’s a genuine threat, allowing for prompt and decisive action.
Key Features & Unrivaled Performance:
- Superior Detection Capabilities: The GW100UV boasts a remarkably wide detection angle, with UV sensitivity spanning ≥120° and IR sensitivity at ≥100°. This broad coverage is vital for monitoring expansive areas within industrial plants, reducing the number of detectors required for comprehensive protection. Furthermore, its axial detection distance extends over 40 meters, making it highly effective in large-scale facilities where long-range monitoring is essential. The response time is impressively swift, less than 20 seconds, with a high-speed model achieving less than 1 second.
- Intelligent Algorithms for Zero False Alarms: One of the most significant challenges in industrial flame detection is the prevalence of false alarms, which can lead to “alarm fatigue” and delayed responses to real incidents. The GW100UV’s advanced algorithms are meticulously designed to differentiate between actual flames and common industrial disturbances, virtually eliminating false activations and ensuring reliable alerts every time. It also offers multiple sensitivity levels for precise calibration.
- Robust & Certified Reliability: Safety equipment must be trustworthy. The GW100UV proudly carries a suite of critical certifications, including CCC, explosion-proof (Ex d IIC T6 Gb), SIL2, and SIL3 (UV) ratings, underscoring its adherence to the highest safety integrity levels. Its robust cast aluminum construction and high ingress protection ratings of IP66 and IP67 (for the UV sensor) ensure exceptional durability and resistance to harsh industrial environments, including dust, water, and extreme temperatures ranging from -10°C to 55°C (standard) or -40°C to 70°C (enhanced).
- Cost-Effectiveness & Low Maintenance: Beyond its initial affordable price point, the GW100UV is designed for minimal ongoing costs. Its multi-sensitivity levels allow for precise calibration, reducing unnecessary activations and wear-and-tear. The robust construction and reliable components contribute to significantly lower maintenance requirements over its lifespan, ensuring a lower total cost of ownership compared to many competitors.
- Seamless Integration: With two relay outputs, the GW100UV can be easily integrated into existing fire alarm control panels and other safety systems. Its operating voltage of DC24±6V is standard for industrial applications. The compact size (72mmx72mmx96mm) and light weight (0.5kg) also facilitate flexible installation in various industrial settings, even where space is a premium.
Beyond the GW100UV: A Full Spectrum of Fire Safety Solutions from GEWEE
While the GW100UV excels in balancing cost and performance for general industrial plants, GEWEE’s commitment to safety extends across a diverse range of industrial needs.
