McCLOSKEY ESS-300 | MOBILE MACHINERY FIRE SUPPRESSION
We recently installed our Dual Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System on a McCloskey ESS-300 Mobile Shredder, delivering critical fire protection for high-risk waste and recycling operations.
How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works
This system uses dry powder for rapid flame knockdown and wet chemical for a prolonged cooling effect on superheated components. A Pneumatic Detection Tube bursts when exposed to flame, releasing pressure in the cylinder and discharging the suppression agents through strategically placed nozzles in the engine bay.
System highlights:
Dry Powder – Rapid flame knockdown
Wet Chemical – Prolonged cooling of superheated components
Pneumatic Detection – Activates system when exposed to fire
Indirect Release System – Agents discharged through nozzles targeting key risk areas
Additional Features:
Battery Isolator – Disconnects electrical supply to minimise fire risk
Equipment Shutdown – Halts machine operation when activated
Manual Actuator – Enables manual system discharge in emergencies

Fire Risks in Mobile Shredders
The McCloskey ESS-300 operates in dusty, hot conditions with flammable waste material, increasing the chance of fire. A reliable fire suppression system is essential for reducing downtime and protecting both the operator and the machine.
