1. 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Our thirty-plus years of discovery, innovation, manufacturing and testing of fire suppression systems designed exclusively for mobile equipment ensures that your equipment is protected with a reliable and proven system. AFEX can customize, install, and guarantee a fire suppression system that works. This dedication to a narrowly focused vision has produced a product that is as tough as the equipment it is designed to protect.

In all other industries where mobile equipment fires are a problem, AFEX Fire Suppression Systems are the preferred means of fire protection. We have set the standards by providing the most reliable vehicular fire suppression system to industries including mining, timber harvesting, sanitation landfill, and now, transportation equipment.

2. OEM TO OEM SERVICE
AFEX systems go from our assembly line to yours. No middle man. Your customized support comes direct from the factory. When you call AFEX, you speak directly to a decision maker that will solve your problems. AFEX routinely works together with OEMs across all industries to design systems that are easy to install and meet their customers’ specifications.

3. UL APPROVED
The AFEX Vehicular Fire Suppression System has been tested and approved by Underwriters Laboratories for use on mobile equipment. AFEX is the only manufacturer to have their system listed by UL, the most widely recognized independent testing laboratory.

4. PURPOSE BUILT PRODUCT
At AFEX, we have one philosophy, one technology and one product. Each component is designed or selected with one purpose in mind — to build the most dependable vehicular fire suppression system. Our simple design facilitates the use of gas leak detection, engine shutdown, and other special features without deterring the operation of the system or the vehicle. The AFEX fire suppression system is simple, rugged, dependable, and virtually accidental discharge-proof.

5. HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS
AFEX operates a documented quality control program. Incorporating the requirements of our UL listing, ISO 9000 standards, and the best features of other QC programs we could find, AFEX holds its products to the industry’s highest manufacturing standards. A quarterly inspection and auditing program ensures that the system is working and kept up to date. The unequaled satisfaction of our customers is the end product of our quality program.

6. MAINTENANCE AND RECHARGE MADE EASY
Where ease and economy of service is critical, the AFEX system is a low maintenance, cartridge activated system. AFEX systems are installed, serviced, and recharged with standard tools, eliminating the need for special equipment. Unlike stored pressure extinguishers, AFEX system recharges are simple and can be performed on location. Empty cartridges are easily replaced and extinguishers are refilled through the large opening at the top.

7. RELIABLE AUTOMATIC DETECTION
Fire suppression systems with reliable automatic detection put out fires and reduce maintenance time. AFEX offers the industry’s most dependable detection package, as a “detection only” package or an automatic actuation package. The AFEX detection system relies on a point thermal type sensor that is shock and vibration resistant and is installed in and adjacent to fire hazard areas.

When necessary to monitor the power supply, detection loop integrity, and squib firing circuit, the AFEX Circuit Monitor provides audible and visual alarms and operator controlled delay functions. We have avoided inappropriate technologies such as microprocessors by designing a solid state monitor that interfaces with the AFEX detection package.

AFEX automatic detection, as an integral part of your complete AFEX Fire Suppression System or as separate “detection only” package, provides early warnings of fire or overheating conditions.
