Support early warning, thermal inspection, and emergency preparedness with fire detection and protection equipment from Vortex.
We help battery recycling facilities, auto recyclers, and scrap metal businesses handling electric vehicles identify equipment for their operations. Explore fixed thermal monitoring, handheld thermal imaging cameras, and EV fire blankets as part of your site’s fire risk management plan.
Early warning through thermal monitoring
Identify abnormal heat patterns with the Marshal Early Fire Detection System by Emitted Energy.
Powered by FLIR thermal imaging, Marshal is designed to detect heat anomalies that can develop before visible smoke or flames. Visual and audible alarms alert your team when the system identifies a potential concern.
For EV recycling operations, Vortex can help you discuss monitoring requirements for designated battery handling and storage areas.
Key features include:
• Integration with one FLIR thermal imaging camera.
• A built-in web interface for live images and alarm status.
• An integrated tower light and audible alarm.
• Output signals for connected safety devices.
• A key-operated manual alarm reset.
• An industrial cabinet powered by 120 VAC.
• Optional backup power and mounting configurations.
Handheld Thermal Imaging Cameras
Portable thermal inspection for your recycling facility
Identify hot spots and document temperature patterns with FLIR handheld thermal imaging cameras.
Portable thermal imaging supports inspections of accessible battery surfaces, electrical equipment, and mechanical components. It helps trained personnel identify areas that need further investigation and record findings as part of an established inspection process.
Models such as the FLIR E8 Pro combine thermal images with visible-light detail to make inspection results easier to interpret.
Available features vary by model and include:
• Noncontact temperature measurement.
• Thermal imaging for identifying hot spots.
• FLIR MSX® image enhancement.
• Touchscreen controls and image annotation.
• Image storage, sharing, and reporting.
• Wi-Fi and cloud connectivity on compatible models.
Vortex can help you select a camera based on inspection distance, temperature range, image resolution, and reporting needs. Thermal imaging supports assessment; it does not independently establish that a battery is safe to handle.
EV Fire Blankets
Specialized equipment for planned emergency response
Explore Brimstone EV Fire Suppressor Blankets as part of an emergency response plan developed with qualified fire professionals.
The range includes several blanket sizes to accommodate different vehicle dimensions. Vortex can help you review coverage requirements, storage locations, and equipment options for your facility’s response plan.
Available sizes include:
• ST: 20 × 25 feet.
• XL: 25 × 33 feet.
• XLE: 25 × 38 feet.
• 2XL: 35 × 52 feet.
Application note: Fire blankets do not stop battery thermal runaway. Research has identified a potential explosion hazard from flammable gases accumulating beneath blankets during EV fires involving the battery. Selection and use require trained responders and an appropriate response plan. Read the FSRI safety notice.
