We service, install and repair industrial systems which use dry chemical agents, which suppress more fire by volume than any other agent.
Purpose:
To extinguish large quantities of fire in high risk areas such as all types of paint booths, mixing rooms, chemical storage and mechanical rooms.
Activation:
Every system is customized according to the customer’s needs and includes both manual and automatic activations.
- Manual: Every industrial system can be activated manually, through a mechanical pull station.
- Automatic: All systems are also electronically activated through either a pneumatic or fusible link release system (see below for more information).
Options of Discharge Activation Devices:
- Pneumatic Release: use of continuous tubing to detect heat and potential fire ignitions which set off the release of the dry chemical agent.
- Benefits: allows for a more thorough detection process. Replacement of tubing is only required every three years.
- Fusible Link Release: use of a series of heat detecting links located in strategic locations which, when detected, will set off the dry chemical agent. Fusible links are replaced on a semi-annual basis.
- Electric Thermal Detectors: use of a series of heat sticks to activate an electric control panel with the capability for a battery back up for 24/7 supervision.
