The problem
Prevent risks of injury, financial, and operational consequences
Container and harbor operations and intermodal freight are extremely sensitive to unscheduled downtime. An equipment fire in a material handling machine can be devastating, since there are large quantities of diesel and hydraulic oil in the immediate area. This is also a high-risk in case of an engine fire. A leaking fuel line or ruptured hydraulic hose can lead to devastating financial and operational consequences, and put operators and other people in harm’s way.
our solution
Protect your equipment with Fogmaker’s system
Harbors, factories, logistic companies, railyards, and airports are places that are bustling with activity from material handling equipment such as terminal tractors, reach stackers, and mobile harbor cranes. It is also places where millions, sometimes billions worth of cargo travel in and out. For this reason, more and more stakeholders are choosing to protect their equipment with fire suppression systems with high-pressure water-based mist from Fogmaker.
The double piston accumulators is the base of the Fogmaker system. and should have a working pressure of 100-105 bar at 20 degrees C.
The detector bottle is the base for the detection system and the pressurized detection tube. This bottle is checked with every annual inspection to ensure correct pressure and functionality.
The distribution system consists of distribution hoses, pipes, fittings, and spray nozzles. The system distributes the suppression liquid from the piston accumulator out into the fire-protected area.
Fire and fault alarm signals – a constant alarm signal equals fire! An alarm signal every 60 seconds equals a fault alarm, it could be a sign of a broken cable, faulty pressure switch/signal module, leakage/low pressure etc.
How it works
A Reliable and robust system
Water-based mist has an outstanding choking and cooling effect. The system is always active – no power supply is needed for activation or system monitoring. Also, Fogmaker has a longer emptying time than many competing systems, which is critical to prevent reignition and downtime. This also buys extremely valuable time for evacuation. With 27 years of experience and a wide international network, we offer you a reliable and robust system with a low TCO.
Advantages
Cost-effective and tailored retrofitting
OEMs choose to sell Fogmaker fire suppression as a standard option, and end customers choose to retrofit existing machinery. We have cooperated with some of the industry giants in this area for many years. The Fogmaker fire suppression system is not only cost-effective, but it is also tailor-made for each type of material handling equipment.
