CNC Fire Suppression System
Market leading Fire Suppression Systems for CNC Machinery
Facilities using CNC machinery face a significant fire risk due to the high-speed components, long-running times, and highly flammable lubricants. At Fireward, we offer advanced CNC fire suppression systems designed to detect and extinguish fires within seconds, minimising damage to your valuable equipment.
Our CNC machine fire suppression systems are engineered to ensure that your machinery and surrounding equipment avoid the costly damage that fire can cause. These fire suppression systems for provide fast, effective coverage where it matters most.
Our CNC fire suppression systems are available in both direct and indirect configurations with either Reacton 1230™ or FM-200™, and include additional safety features such as manual actuation and end of line gauge.
Reacton 1230™ is a fluorinated ketone that is stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas. It is electrically non-conductive and leaves no residue after discharge.
FM-200™ sometimes referred to as HFC-227ea is the most tested liquefiable clean agent of all time. It is an electrically non-conductive odourless and colourless gas.
- Direct/ indirect Reacton 1230™ or FM-200™ specification is available.
- Additional safety features include manual actuation and end of line gauge.

CNC Fire Suppression System FAQ's
A CNC fire suppression system is a specialised, fully automatic fire protection solution designed specifically for CNC machines. These systems address the heightened fire risks posed by high-speed components, prolonged runtimes and flammable lubricants common in manufacturing environments. By detecting and suppressing fires within seconds, this system minimises downtime and protects expensive equipment.
Fireward systems use ultra-fast detection technology with just a single moving part, enabling immediate agent release at the first sign of fire. This design ensures swift suppression before fires can spread, protecting your machinery effectively and reliably.
Fireward offers Reacton 1230™ and FM-200™ (HFC-227ea) as clean-agent options for CNC fire suppression. Reacton 1230™ is stored as a liquid and discharges as a non-conductive and residue-free gas. FM-200™ is a tested liquefiable clean agent, which is also non-conductive, colourless and odourless. Both are ideal for protecting sensitive electronics.
In addition to rapid automatic activation, Fireward systems include features such as manual actuation and end-of-line pressure gauges for system monitoring. They also come standard with 24/7 autonomous operation, battery isolation, machine shutdown and endure extreme conditions down to –20 °C. These layers of safety help ensure comprehensive protection for both machinery and operators.
Fireward’s CNC fire suppression systems are backed by industry-leading certifications, including UL 2166 (Direct), UL 2166 (In-Direct) and LPS 1666, ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
