Why You Should Protect Your Assets, Not Just The Building

Written by Ben Robinson | Nov 21, 2024 2:35:07 PM

Protecting your expensive business assets is just as crucial as protecting your building.

Equipment such as plant machinery, vehicles, and other operational tools are significant investments and are essential to a smooth business operation. Fire damage can lead to not only extensive costs but also operational downtime, which can severely impact productivity and profitability.

Installing a reliable fire suppression system ensures that your business's critical equipment is protected from the devastating consequences of a fire, helping you avoid costly replacements, repairs, and interruptions to your operations.

 

Fireward's Automatic Fire Suppression Systems are compact, self-activating, and mounted on equipment at risk. Using UL-recognised detection tubes, they provide fire detection within seconds. Two types are available:

  • Direct Systems (DLP): Release extinguishing agent at the fire's source for fast response.
    Our product is the worlds-first to achieve UL 2166 certification for Direct Clean Agent Technology.

  • Indirect Systems (ILP): Use nozzles to engulf an area with agent delivery.
    Has also achieved UL 2166 certification

Using our Fireward fire suppression system, rapid fire detection and suppression significantly reduces post-fire downtime, preventing costly machine repairs and replacements

Total Flooding Systems require large cylinders and venting, consuming valuable space. Our systems are compact, installed directly on equipment, and adaptable to changes without re-engineering.

 

Fireward systems ensure safe operation in occupied spaces with minimal atmospheric impact, complying with NFPA 2001 standards. They use small amounts of extinguishing agent, avoiding over-pressurisation.

 

Financial Benefits

Our systems have lower purchase, maintenance, and refilling costs compared to larger systems. Service is straightforward, with affordable agent refills and servicing.

 

Environmental Impact

Fireward systems use low-GWP agents, reducing their environmental footprint. The Reacton 1230 Clean Agent has a short atmospheric lifetime (3-5 days), far outpacing alternatives like HFC-227ea.

 

UL 2166 Listing

The Fireward system is the first ever to achieve UL 2166 certification for Direct Technology, meeting rigorous global standards. This innovation offers reliable and approved alternatives to traditional systems.
