Industrial FM200 and NOVEC 1230 filling systems provide manufacturers and wholesalers of halon-replacement fire-extinguishing gases with large-scale filling capacity: primary filling of new cylinders, recycling of used gas, and maintenance of industrial fire suppression systems. The PWENT THB series and associated equipment are manufactured in accordance with PED 2014/68/EU and TPED 2010/35/EU. Note: this category is a DUPLE with 400-030 (shared physical URL) — this one focuses on industrial applications, whilst the other focuses on fire safety maintenance.

The industrial background to halon-substitute fire-extinguishing gases
FM200 (HFC-227ea) and NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) are modern alternatives to halon fire-extinguishing gases: they do not deplete the ozone layer (ODP=0), their GWP is significantly lower, and their fire-extinguishing efficiency is the same or better. The Montreal Protocol has phased out halon, and halon-replacement fire-extinguishing gases now serve this market globally. Typical industrial fire suppression systems: server farms, data centres, electronics factories, chemical plants, museums.

Industrial focus vs fire safety maintenance
Category 400-030 is intended for small to medium-sized fire safety maintenance workshops where the customer services fire extinguishers. Category 500-030 is for industrial use: fire-suppression gas manufacturers, fire-suppression system suppliers, industrial wholesalers — here, continuous filling is required for a large-capacity cylinder fleet (50+ cylinders per day) and industrial-grade automation.

THB series and related systems
THB/523: basic model, 70 bar operating pressure, filling, recovery and filtration in a single unit. Larger industrial versions (THB/1500, THB/3000): with continuous filling capacity, an integrated weighing system and an automated cylinder changer. In addition to these, associated filter systems (for purifying used gas), storage tanks and distribution manifolds.

Business benefits
Recyclability is key: FM200 and NOVEC command high market prices. Recovering and reusing spent gas delivers significant cost savings. Request a quote for a complete industrial system.
