Fire hazard is one of the most dangerous threats to happen anywhere. Due to the nature of their extreme working condition, mining equipment is very prone to fire hazard. Hundreds of large mining equipment were burnt in the last decade, resulting in injuries, loss of equipment, and to the worst, fatalities.
To overcome this problem, FoamGuard comes with FoamGuard Spray System, a real world proven AFFF automatic fire suppression solution.
AFFF foam is the most effective fire extinguishing medium to be used on equipment consuming fossil fuel. AFFF foam prevents the contact between fuel and oxygen, resulting in suppression of fire.
In addition, it also helps cools the burnt area and neutralize the chemical constituent of the fuel to prevent re-ignition.
The Pre Engineered FOAM GUARD spray System has been designed to allow various levels of protection from fully automatic detection and suppression systems with full engine shut down, fault control detection and cab monitoring to simple suppression only systems with manual actuation.
Customers can decide for themselves what level of protection they wish to install on their equipment to meet the expectations.
The innovations from Pre Engineered FOAM GUARD spray System are available in complete models.
