MOBILE MACHINERY FIRE SUPPRESSION

This Vermeer HG6000 TX horizontal grinder has been fitted with Fireward’s Dual Agent automatic fire suppression system, designed to protect machines operating in high-risk waste and recycling environments. The combination of dry powder and wet chemical agents ensures robust, layered protection against engine fires and superheated components.

How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works

Our Dual Agent system provides two-stage fire protection for comprehensive coverage:

• Pneumatic Detection – Tube bursts when exposed to flame, triggering the system

• Dry Powder – Rapidly suppresses flames and tackles fires in confined areas

• Wet Chemical – Delivers a prolonged cooling effect to superheated components

• Indirect Release – Agent is delivered through strategically placed nozzles

Additional Features:

Manual Actuator – Allows operators to activate the system manually in emergencies
Equipment Shutdown – Automatically shuts down the machine to prevent further escalation
Battery Isolator – Cuts power to reduce risk of electrical fire
In-Cab Monitor – Notifies operator when the system activates

Fire Risks in Horizontal Grinders

The Vermeer HG6000 TX processes high volumes of flammable waste material in hot, dusty conditions — a combination that increases fire risk. Sparks, friction, and engine heat can all trigger ignition, especially during continuous use.

Built-in Fire Protection for Horizontal Grinders

Fireward’s automatic fire suppression system is engineered to tackle the unique fire risks posed by mobile shredding and grinding machinery, protecting both the operator and the asset.
