COMBINE HARVESTER FIRE SUPPRESSION
We recently installed our Dual Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System on a Claas Lexion 7500 Combine Harvester, delivering robust protection against fire risks in agricultural operations.
How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works
Our Dual Agent system uses dry powder to knock down flames fast, while wet chemical cools superheated components to stop fires from reigniting. Both agents are released through strategically positioned nozzles, triggered by a pneumatic detection tube that bursts under extreme heat.
System highlights:
-
Dry Powder - Fast flame knockdown and deep fire penetration
-
Wet Chemical - Cools engine components to prevent reignition
-
Pneumatic Detection - Tube bursts under heat to trigger release of pressure in cylinder(s)
-
Indirect Release System - Agents delivered via nozzles for full coverage
Additional Features:
Machine Shutdown – Cuts the engine automatically to reduce fuel-fed fires
Manual Actuator – Gives operators manual override for instant fire suppression
Battery Isolator – Disconnects power to minimise electrical fire risks
