Kitchen Fire Suppression
These systems are designed specifically for the food an restaurant business, cooker hobs and deep fat fires are an obvious place for a fire to start in a canteen, hotel, restaurant or any place which involves regular cooking in a professional kitchen.
A kitchen fire suppression system works by detecting the fire automatically from fuseable heat links or releasing manually by a pull cord or break glass, a wet chemical agent is then released from nozzles in the canopy, cooker hood or above the risk to extinguish the fire with immediate effect.
The clean up process is easy and straight forward ensuring minimum down time, the wet chemical agent does not harm stainless steel.
Additional safety is guaranteed by closing dampers in the extract system to avoid the fire spreading to other areas.
