JCB 437 HT WHEEL LOADER | VEHICLE FIRE SUPPRESSION

Our Dual Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System has been installed on a JCB 437 HT Wheel Loader, ensuring essential fire protection for energy-from-waste operations.

 

How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works

Our Dual Agent system utilises two suppression agents to provide comprehensive fire safety:

  • Dry Powder rapidly knocks down flames 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.

 

Fire Detection & Agent Release System

This system features an Indirect Release System, deploying suppression agents through nozzles for maximum coverage. It is activated by a Pneumatic Detection Tube, which bursts under high temperatures, releasing pressure in the cylinder and triggering the release of suppression agents through the strategically placed nozzles.

 

Additional Features

Manual Actuator – Allows manual activation of the system in an emergency.
In-Cab Monitor – Alerts the operator when a fire is detected and suppressed.
Engine Shutdown – Automatically shuts down the engine to prevent further damage.
Battery Isolator – Cuts off the battery supply to reduce electrical fire risks.

Fire Risks in Energy-from-Waste Operations

The JCB 437 HT Wheel Loader operates in energy-from-waste facilities where high temperatures, flammable materials, and prolonged operation increase fire risks. Without a fire suppression system, even a small ignition can quickly spread, causing costly downtime, equipment damage, and operational disruptions.
