Fire Suppression

The FSI Foam-Guard Fire Suppression System utilises Fluorine Free Foam (F3) and is fully accredited by ActivFire and certified to Australian Standard AS 5062:2016. In the event of fire being detected, the Foam-Guard system automatically discharges the Fluorine Free Foam through nozzles placed around the risk areas to extinguish the fire. When the Foam-Guard system discharges, the FSI Fire Alarm Panel installed in the operator’s cabin will activate, alerting the operator and any surrounding personnel enabling them to safely egress the machine.

The FSI system also provides for manual activation and can be installed with many options such as automatic engine shutdown, a secondary detection using thermal heat probes, and an auxiliary spray network for additional or back up support. FSI offer a Loss of Pressure (LOP) system, Rise of Pressure (ROP) system, and the full Electric system.

The Foam-Guard system was developed after significant consultation with industry, equipment manufacturers and contractors. It can be configured to suit applications across a wide range of industries, including mining, forestry, construction, transport, marine and manufacturing. Each system design is undertaken with customer consultation and thorough risk assessment and analysis.
