Airports

Engine fires in airports involve extreme risks and can create major service disruption, negatively effect downtime and cause delays. Fire safety for ground support machines at airports can make a big difference. Several fires have occurred on the runway in airports where machines have caught fire close to planes. Consequently machines can serve as a potential high-risk element causing major damage and delays. High pressure water mist is a superior suppression technique in engine compartments to strongly limit the consequences of a fire in airport machinery such as luggage trucks, carriers and freight loaders, passenger buses and supply trucks.

Most fires start in the engine compartment. A fire in an engine compartment is hard to discover and often has a very intensive course of event. It is almost impossible to suppress with a portable extinguisher. A globally tested and certified fire suppression system with an effective linear detection system will give you the best possible fire protection performance in case of an emergency. The Fogmaker water mist protects engine and hydraulic compartments. Fogmaker is fully automatic with manual activation as standard. The control panel makes it possible to shut down the engine, main power switch and fuel solenoid. The versatility of the system is complemented by high efficiency and reliability, as the Fogmaker system is approved by leading global notifying bodies.
