CATERPILLAR 320 | VEHICLE FIRE SUPPRESSION
A Dual Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System has been installed on a Caterpillar 320 Excavator, delivering superior fire protection for operations in the waste and recycling sector managing household waste.
How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works:
Our Dual Agent system uses a combination of dry powder and wet chemical suppression agents to provide comprehensive fire safety:
-
Dry Powder delivers rapid fire knockdown and suppresses hidden fires in hard-to-reach areas.
-
Wet Chemical cools superheated engine components, preventing reignition through strategically placed nozzles in the engine bay.
Additional Features:
In-Cab Monitor - Alerts the operator when a fire is detected and suppressed
Manual Actuator - Allows manual activation of the system in an emergency
