LVT - Fire Suppression Systems

Industrial

The versatile fire detection and suppression system protects a wide variety of heavy vehicles including cranes, stone crushers, combines, and more— as well as CNC machines and other industrial equipment. The robust linear heat detector is built to withstand corrosive chemicals in cooling systems and tough environmental conditions.

Cranes

Cranes
Crane engines are housed in compartments not easily viewed by the driver. LVT’s fire suppression system protects the engine against fire caused by escaping fuel or hydraulic liquids. The system is designed to detect and suppress fires in the engine area. The system is comprised of a linear detector, control box, junction box, and 2-3 extinguishers. The DELTA detector analyzes local rate of temperature rise within monitored regions to confirm the presence of a fire or overheating. It senses the fire using a tubing wire and sends a signal to the control box. Routed to provide optimal coverage and monitoring over a wide area, the fully automatic system can also be manually activated at any time.

CNCs

CNCs

CNC machines processing stainless steels or light metals run the risk of the materials or cooling oil igniting as a result of blade breakage during operation. The linear heat detector is designed to withstand chemicals used in the machine’s cooling system, detecting overheating or fire. The pneumatic systems don’t require an external power source.

Combines

Combines

The system alerts the driver of a fire or dramatic rise in temperature. Detection works independently from the fire suppression system, allowing the operator to manually control the extinguishment. The system can also operate automatically.

Crushers

Crushers

Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, the detector is housed inside the crusher’s engine compartment. The detector gives low pressure warnings and emits an audible signal during operation.
