Reacton Heavy Plant & Equipment Fire Protection

Product information

Reacton Fire

Heavy plant and equipment can be found working tirelessly in the most demanding environments and industries. With hydraulic hose failure a common reason machines stop working, the risk of fire increases significantly if leaking hydraulic oil contacts a hot surface. Any fire poses a significant risk to safety and the environment, and asset downtime affects site production - with considerable costs of repairing fire damage.

APPLICATIONS AND RISK AREAS: • Engine compartments - various high-risk components • Drive systems - will spread the fire quickly • Electrical systems - threat of spreading fire to surrounding components • Battery enclosures - increases the severity of the fire • Hydraulic manifold - increases severity due to flammable hydraulic fluid

HOW THE REACTON SYSTEM WORKS: Reacton Detection Tubing is installed above all identified fire risks. In a fire event, the unique pneumatic detection tube bursts and commences deployment of the dry powder and wet chemical agents through a discharge network and nozzles specifically developed for these agents, suppressing the fire fast and leaving no residue. The system offers 24/7 protection with zero false alarms and can be connected to external monitoring systems.

ADVANTAGES OF A REACTON SYSTEM: • Fully automatic - detects and activates without any external power source • Rapid detection and immediate agent delivery, typically in under 10 seconds • 24/7 protection with zero false alarms • Extremely low maintenance • 10-year service life, 3-year warranty on all parts • Compact and lightweight, simple to install • Suitable for both new-build (OEM) and retrofit installations

APPROVALS: • AS 5062:2016 - protection of mobile and transportable equipment across construction, plant and mining, held for both the single dry powder agent and the Reacton F3 fluorine-free foam dual agent • P-Mark to SPCR 199 - Reacton achieved the highest possible score, 10/10 (A+), with a Level of Openness rating of III • UL Listed - detection tube as a Heat-Automatic Fire Detector component (S36434)
