In September, two shredders, two landfill compactors and one material handler, totalling £1.7 million worth of machinery, were saved by Fireward.

The waste and recycling industry is a highly active sector which processes an innumerous amount of combustible material. As well as destroying the asset, it is important to understand the additional devastation a fire can bring:

• Bad press
• Total loss of the machinery
• Loss of revenue
• Downtime
• Delay to work schedule
• Risk of injury to operators and surrounding staff
• Damage to the nearby environment 

All five pieces of machinery were protected by our dual agent system, which detects and extinguishes fires without the need for electrical power or manual intervention. The combination of the dry powder and wet chemical ensures a rapid-fire knockdown as well as a reduction in the chances of reignition.
