Fire Protection for Agribusiness

Agribusiness presents unique challenges for vehicle and machinery manufacturers, as production capacity and specialization are continually on the increase. The complexity, and often the size, of these high value machines, make fire both more likely and potentially more disastrous when it strikes. Class B fuels, lubricants and hydraulic fluids are primary hazards, but the buildup of class A fuels, including chaff and other debris, supplement this source. Sentinel Aquagreen XT™ aqueous agent is ideally suited to this blend of hazards.
 
The Kidde Sentinel™ Vehicle System is an integrated fire protection solution that includes state-of-the-art detection and control. Coupled with a tailored suppression package, the Sentinel System is flexible, easy to maintain and is specifically designed for applications such as agribusiness.


Suppression

Kidde DCS Suppression System

Stored pressure dry chemical delivery systems like the Kidde DCS provide the highest possible reliability for fire protection. Dependable ABC dry chemical agent, with a full 90% potency, provides solid fire fighting capability for your area. The agent is maintained in an inerted atmosphere inside the cylinder.

The system status can be readily ascertained by checking the cylinder gauge or in the system control unit via the optional supervisory pressure switches installed on the system cylinders. We don’t compromise – why should you?
