EDAFFIC Project
Early Detection and Fighting of Fires in Belt Conveyors
OVERVIEW
EDAFFIC is a research project whose main target consists of minimising the risk of initiation and spreading of conveyor belt fires,
acting on all control points of the fire ignition and propagation process.
The project has the participation of some of Europe's best recognized names in the mining industry.
