Advanced Fire Suppression for Fume Cupboards

Ensuring the safety of your laboratory or industrial workspace is paramount, especially when handling hazardous materials. We provide advanced fire suppression systems specifically designed for fume cupboards, offering reliable protection against potential fire risks.

Fume cupboards are essential for containing and controlling hazardous substances, preventing their release into the workspace. However, the combination of volatile chemicals and open flames can pose significant fire risks. Integrating a fire suppression system within the fume cupboard serves as a crucial line of defence, swiftly detecting and extinguishing fires before they escalate.

Benefits

Early Intervention

The early intervention of a fire suppression system localised to the fume cupboard can prevent further damage to the building or equipment.

Passive System

All the fire suppression systems we install are passive, meaning they can still automatically detect and extinguish fires during loss of power.

Our Expertise in PAFSS Fire Suppression Systems

We are trained and certified in the installation and maintenance of Pneumatically Actuated Fire Suppression Systems (PAFSS). These self-activating systems require no external power, making them ideal for unmanned or unsupervised applications. PAFSS uses specialised detection tubing that responds to the heat of a fire, releasing the extinguishing agent directly at the source. This rapid response not only puts out the fire promptly but also minimises damage to equipment and reduces operational downtime.

Benefits of Fire Suppression Systems

  • Rapid Fire Detection and Extinguishment – Our systems quickly identify and suppress fires at their inception, preventing escalation and ensuring safety.
  • Protection of Personnel and Assets – By mitigating fire risks, we safeguard your team and valuable equipment from potential harm.
  • Automatic ActivationPAFSS and Firetrace operate autonomously, providing reliable fire suppression without the need for human intervention.
