Fagus-GreCon Greten, the Alfeld-based specialist in wood processing technology, has introduced the HUNTER MD to its fire protection product range. The ducting component is engineered to meet increasingly stringent fire safety requirements across the woodworking and bulk material handling sectors.
The HUNTER MD extends the established HUNTER portfolio, which has become a recognised standard for passive fire protection in industrial dust and material handling systems. As regulatory pressures intensify across European manufacturing facilities, fire-rated ducting solutions have become critical specification elements for integrators and plant designers.
The component targets production environments where combustible dust or material transport generates elevated fire risk—particularly in particleboard facilities, sawmills, and chip handling operations. By integrating fire-rated ducting into pneumatic conveying systems, manufacturers can reduce exposure to flash-over incidents and meet updated safety directives without redesigning entire production lines.
Industry observers expect the HUNTER MD to appeal to both retrofit applications and new system installations, positioning GreCon to capture additional specification share in a market increasingly focused on passive fire mitigation alongside active suppression systems.
