Patent awarded for GreCon IEM
The European Patent Office has granted Fagus-GreCon intellectual property rights for the GreCon IEM (Intelligent Extinguishing Module).
By enhancing its proven extinguishing automation with the unique Intelligent Extinguishment Technology, the fire prevention specialist has expanded its spark extinguishing systems with advanced monitoring and diagnostic capabilities. Utilising intelligent sensor technology, the innovative extinguishing system not only detects water flow but also monitors flow pressure, electrical parameters, and temperatures, identifying early signs of wear to enable predictive maintenance. This makes Fagus-GreCon the only provider worldwide to ensure that the ultra-fine water mist required for optimal extinguishing is correctly formed in the hazard area – a crucial factor for highly effective fire suppression and system protection.

In its expandable configurations, the system also offers micro-leak detection and an integrated frost monitoring function, ensuring uninterrupted operation even in low temperatures.
The patent approval highlights Fagus- GreCon’s customer-centric approach. “Innovation does not happen in the laboratory but in real-world applications,” said Dr Michael Mehlhorn, head of global R&D fire prevention at Fagus-GreCon. “Our goal is to develop solutions that address real-world problems. We maintain close dialogue with our customers, analyse their requirements, and implement them.”

Overall a very wide product range is available for a huge range of applications.
Damon Harris, national sales manager, will provide expert advice on production solutions and machine models, ensuring customers receive tailored recommendations.
Meanwhile, after-sales support will be delivered through Weinig UK’s well- established service department, giving customers the confidence of easily accessible, professional back-up and maintenance.
“By combining Michael Weinig (UK) Ltd’s nationwide reach with Essetre’s innovative and agile approach, we can provide genuine solutions that enhance profitability and efficiency for all British- based roof truss and timber frame manufacturers,” said Mr Cuthbertson.
