15,000 UK AND IRELAND INSTALLS
Since 2006 over 15,000 Fogmaker systems have been installed in the UK and Ireland in industries including PSV, HGV, Mining, Tunneling, Agriculture, Waste and Recycling and more.
Reliability and Performance
The Fogmaker Fire Suppression system has a unique suppressing performance as it both cools down and smothers the fire, at the same time as the foam additive effectively prevent the fire from reigniting.
THE FIRE TRIANGLE
The fire triangles or combustion triangles or ″fire diamond″ are simple models for understanding the necessary ingredients for most fires. The triangle illustrates the three elements a fire needs to ignite: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). Fogmaker attacks all three elements.
CREATING FOG
As high pressure forces the extinguishing fluid through Fogmaker's patented spray nozzles, 8000 tiny droplets are made per every one normal sized droplet. The result is a mist or 'Fog'
UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE
1 litre of extinguishing fluid absorbs 540,000 kilocalories and produces 1700 litres of water mist. This creates a choking effect removes the oxygen and cools the temperature significantly. A layer of foaming agent covers the area to prevent re-ignition.

Crossrail Project
Fogmaker was chosen as the fire suppression system to be installed on a number of machines used in the creation of the vast underground network. The obvious time, cost and safety repercussions of a fire underground meant that all contractor machinery entering the tunnels was to be fit with a Fogmaker system. Vehicles ranged from standard plant machinery to specialised machinery such as the 'Robodrill'.
LONDON BENDY BUS FIRES
Prior to 2006 the majority of fire suppression systems installed on buses in the UK were powder based. Increased space constraints and emissions targets meant that the danger of engine bay fires had increased significantly. The high profile Mercedes London 'Bendy' bus fires in 2004 led to the introduction of Fogmaker and the avoidance of several thermal incidents that would have otherwise been complete vehicle burnouts. This in turn led to a large retrofitting campaign. Over 700 vehicles had a powder system removed and replaced with the Fogmaker system. Fogmaker continues to be fit to all Mercedes buses as the standard fire suppression system of choice.
Haulage Campaign
Following a serious thermal incident one of the UK's leading haulage companies took necessary steps to protect its staff and its fleet. In the space of a few weeks over 400 HGV's were retrofitted with Fogmaker in a country wide campaign. The installations to the engine bay beside the drivers cab mean that in the event of a fire should the driver become trapped the vehicles are equipped with a potentially life saving system.
