FIRE SUPPRESSION MADE FOR THE MINES

The mining industry is demanding, requiring heavy duty equipment to live up to the rigorous production demands. Among the factors attempting to halt operations, fire puts operators, production and equipment assets at serious risk. That’s why mining equipment requires a fire suppression system that can go head-to-head with the harsh conditions. AFEX fire suppression systems are purpose-built to withstand the everyday abuse mining machines experience; they’re rugged, reliable and easy to service.

Mining Heavy Equipment with Fire Suppression

What is Mining Equipment Downtime Costing You?

The heavy-duty equipment used in the mining industry are some of the largest and most expensive pieces of machinery out there. A single downed haul truck, loader, dozer, drill, hydraulic shovel, etc. can reduce total production for days, weeks or even months. Fire suppression systems detect equipment fires as soon as they occur and release dry and liquid chemicals to mitigate the fire, saving valuable seconds crucial to limiting damage to the machine. Equipment operators are also alerted immediately, giving them ample time to exit the vehicle to safety.
