STATIC PLANT FIRE SUPPRESSION

This Witham Mills Baler, including the conveyor, hopper, needle and electric panel is now protected with Fireward’s Dual Agent and Clean Agent automatic fire suppression system

 

How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works

Our Dual Agent system provides rapid and effective fire control by:

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

  • Dry Powder – Provides rapid flame knockdown, reaching hidden fires with it's unmatched coverage which smothers the flames

  • Wet Chemical – Delivers prolonged cooling of heated components and minimising the chance of ignition of flammable liquids

  • Indirect Release – Suppression agents are discharged through strategically placed nozzles targeting critical areas and for maximised coverage

 

How Fireward’s Clean Agent System Works

Our Clean Agent system prevents electrical fires by:

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

  • Direct Release – Reacton 1230 is released through the burn hole in the detection tube, targeting the fire at the source

 

Additional Features:

Manual Actuator – Enables manual system activation when required
