Wet Chemical Agent Fire Suppression Systems for Your Commercial Kitchen
Fires in commercial kitchens can originate from multiple high‑risk sources, including defective or damaged heating controls, unattended appliances, overheating burners, and the accumulation of grease or dirt residues. These hazards demand a suppression solution specifically engineered for the unique challenges of active cooking environments.
The AutoFireX® AFX M-Series (Mechanical) & AFX P-Series (Pneumatic) Wet Chemical Agent Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems are pre‑engineered systems designed to address these risks with precision and reliability.
AutoFireX® Mechanical Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems (M Series)
Employing patented mechanical–hydraulic activation technology, the AutoFireX® Mechanical Wet Chemical Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems incorporate a hydraulic cylinder and lever assembly, connected to a detection line with fusible links or Thermobulbs. With no pressurised components required for activation, they enable fast, reliable fire detection and automatic suppression, operating effectively at pressures as low as 15 Bar.
Manufactured in UKAS-accredited ISO 9001:2015 facilities with CE-marked steel cylinders, these systems meet globally recognised fire protection standards, including BS EN 17446:2021, UL 300, NFPA 17A, and NFPA 96.
The integrated microswitch supports fire alarm or audio visual annunciation. Simple to install, maintain, and service, they can be configured with 8 or 16 flow points, an optional mechanical or electrical gas shut-off valve, and up to 5 cylinders, which can be recharged and pressurised on site. The laser-marked nozzles allow for precise application, whilst hydraulic and agent volumes can be easily calculated.
AutoFireX® Pneumatic Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems (AFX P Series)
Available in 10L and 20L capacities, the pre-engineered AutoFireX® Pneumatic Fire Suppression Systems use Linear Pneumatic Heat Detection Tubes or UL-listed Heat Sensing Cables, routed above cooking appliances. When exposed to temperatures exceeding 165°C, the tube ruptures, triggering the differential pressure valve to release wet chemical agent onto the fire.
Combining linear detection with automatic suppression, these systems effectively respond to kitchen fires within seconds, minimising equipment damage and downtime. With 24/7 reliability, they provide fast flame knockdown using K Foam and SF6 Wet Chemical Agent. Activating only upon confirmed fire detection, they can be manually triggered via Push Station or automatically via pressure switch to initiate alarms and shut off gas supply.
Manufactured in UKAS-accredited ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities, with CE-marked cylinders, these systems meet NFPA 17A and NFPA 96 requirements. Lightweight and compact, they are easy to install for OEM integration and retrofit applications, offering low-maintenance, cost-effective operation.
