Wood Products
The equipment used for handling wood and paper products operates in an environment that has many unique fire hazards, including combustible debris. Wood chips exposed to oil and heat can quickly lead to a fire and put safety, capital, and production at risk. To prevent fire losses, this equipment requires special fire protection.
An onboard AFEX Fire Suppression System provides a prompt response to knock down fires and reduce equipment damage. That's why Georgia-Pacific, International Paper, Westvaco and Weyerhaeuser are all AFEX customers. AFEX systems are commonly installed on chippers, grinders, dozers, wheel loaders, excavators and log stackers.
