Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems

Ansul developed the first restaurant fire suppression system over 30 years ago. Since then, constant research, testing, evaluation and refinements have led to today’s state-of-the-art systems. Both the R102 and Piranha restaurant systems utilise Ansulex low Ph liquid fire suppressant.

The Ansul Kitchen System is actuated manually by pressing an activation switch or

automatically by fusible links located above the cooking appliances.

The links melt during a fire, causing a cartridge to fire propelling gas into the Ansulex liquid agent tank. The distribution piping system carries the agent to nozzles located above the cooking appliances, in the flue above the filters, and in the duct above the plenum.

Electronic Fire Detection and Control Systems

Fire detection systems provide constant monitoring and, therefore, early warning, to minimise the losses and liabilities associated with fire. This prevents damage to property and products, loss of life, financial loss, consequential loss of profit, loss of productivity and insurance repercussions.

There are different types of electronic fire detection systems and accessories to suit every situation, ranging from small office installations to large scale warehousing and mining applications.

There are essentially two different types of fire detection systems: an addressable system is able to pinpoint the location of each and every detector and other devices, where a conventional system only differentiates between zones. A selection of application-specific detectors can be utilised on either system. Detectors include optical smoke detectors, heat detectors, linear detectors, beam detectors, gas detectors, aspiring air sample detectors and many more. Fire detection systems are widely used in offices, hotels, warehouses, factories and mines, to name a few.

Red Line and Sentry Fire Extinguishers

The Red Line range is a robust. High performance hand appliance used worldwide by high-risk industries such as Catex, Exxon and BP for protection of their inland and offshore production facilities. The unit is manufactured to be used in remote areas where field-recharge does not require special tools or equipment. Due to high quality materials and thorough engineering, we have immense confidence in the products to extent that we offer a limited 12-year warranty.

When economy and performance are equally important, stored pressure extinguishers are a viable option. Designed for light-medium use, the Sentry extinguishers are quality tested with the same care that Ansul puts into its rugged Red Line cartridge-operated

extinguishers.

Wheeled/ Mobile Fire Extinguishers

Wheeled Fire extinguishers are specifically designed and built for the protection of hazardous areas where large fires could occur. They combine high mobility and single- person operation with increased flow rate, discharge times and range. They are available as both mobile and stationary units.

Value added services

properties designed to stop fire propagation along electrical cables. Micon FLAMSAYF 325 is also used in the construction of passive fire protection of cable/service penetration seals to prevent the spread of flame and toxic gases through service openings.
