Fire Protection For Wood Product Industry Equipment

Equipment dealing with wood and paper products operate in an environment that has many unique fire hazards including combustible debris. Equipment fires put capital investment and production at risk. To prevent fire losses, this equipment requires special fire protection. The hydraulic oil leaks or debris accumulations become fuels that ignite quickly, engulfing the engine compartment in flames. An onboard AFEX Fire Suppression System provides a prompt response to knock down fires and reduce fire damage.

AFEX systems are installed on chippers, chip dozers, wheel loaders, excavators and log stackers. The AFEX system is durable, reliable and low maintenance.

AFEX customers in this industry include numerous mills throughout the Southeast owned by Georgia-Pacific, International Paper, Westvaco and Weyerhaeuser.
