MINING EQUIPMENT
“A fire outbreak can catch you offguard when least expected. Your Mining Equipments are highly vulnerable to a fire outbreak.”
CAUSES OF FIRE
- Virtually all the mobile equipment used in mining operations contains large quantities of highly flammable diesel fuel, lubricating oils, and hydraulic fluids
- The energized electrical equipment used in mining
operations also presents an elevated fire risk
CAUSING
- Business downtime
- Production loss
- Revenue loss
- Infrastructure loss
- Loss of human life
IF, A FIRE IS IGNITED, THEN :
- Results in expensive repairs and unscheduled downtime
- Unchecked and uncontrolled equipment fire can pose a serious
threat of death or injury
CHALLENGES
- Most mining equipment is operated around the clock under punishing conditions that stress mechanical and electrical components to the limit
- Material or fluids coming in contact with hot exhaust or engine parts or an electrical fault can quickly erupt into a fast-spreading fire
WEFIRE™ Solution
- WEFIRE™ system works to protect the critical assets from within. Hence the system is versatile and not bulky & requires very less gas compared to traditional systems
- The WEFIRE™ Heat Detection tube upon detection, ruptures at the hottest point forming a nozzle like opening. This activates the cylinder valves and the clean agent gas/ Powder discharges through the
opening directly onto the fire - Tube discharge system is ideal for areas such as control panels, however
- Nozzle discharge system is recommended for areas needing wider and targeted protection such as Diesel tanks and Hydraulics
