Fire, Suppressed. Asset, Protected.

Fire, Suppressed. Asset, Protected.

Fireward systems are installed on an abundance of machines, some of our most frequent are shredders. Our engineers recently had a call out to a system discharge. Much to the customers surprise, there had been a fire in the engine bay. Our system suppressed it within seconds saving thousands of pounds.

In 2019, we installed a 27kg dual agent fire suppression system onto a shredder. In September 2021 the system discharged due to a piece of molten metal hitting a build-up of sawdust. Throughout its working hours, the machine experienced an accumulation of sawdust between the door and the engine bay. A piece of molten metal had become encased in the 6 inches of sawdust, causing the fire to start. Even though the detection tube was buried within the build-up, the fire was detected almost immediately. No damage was caused to the machine, allowing the business to still operate as normal with no downtime.

During these current times, to order new plant machinery the lead time could be months. By having our Fireward fire suppression system fitted, it saved the owner hundreds of thousands of pounds and the risk of catastrophic consequences to the business.

One of the most vital considerations to a business is insurance- especially when it comes to fires. To have your plant machinery fully insured, most insurance companies will ask you to have fire suppression fitted to your plant. Our fire suppression systems protect your assets 24/7, even when you can’t see them. Our aim is to keep people, assets, and organizations safe.
