Fire Suppression Systems for Off-Road Machinery
Off-road machinery operates in challenging environments, often under extreme conditions. Whether in agriculture, recycling, earthmoving, construction, mining, or port operations, the risk of fire is significant. Fire suppression systems are critical for protecting valuable equipment, ensuring operator safety, and minimizing operational downtime. Protega Solutions specializes in advanced automatic fire suppression systems designed to meet the rigorous demands of these industries, providing peace of mind and reliable fire protection.

How Our Fire Suppression Systems Work
The Protega automatic R107 fire suppression system is designed to detect and extinguish fires quickly and efficiently, minimizing damage and ensuring safety. There are two types of systems:
Direct system
The direct fire suppression system detects a fire using the detection tube system. This heat-sensitive polymer tube is continuously pressurized with nitrogen and reacts to heat in conjunction with the radiant heat emitted by fire. Any flame that comes into contact with the detection tube will cause it to burst. This loss of pressure triggers the release of the extinguishing agent through the created opening.
Indirect system
The indirect system uses the detection tube to detect a fire. When the detection tube bursts due to radiant heat and pressure, it triggers the valve at the top of the suppression cylinder to open. This causes the extinguishing agent to be discharged through strategically placed nozzles into the protected environment.

Selection of Extinguishing Agents
Why We Use Specific Extinguishing Agents
Protega Solutions ensures that our fire suppression systems are suitable for the most common extinguishing agents such as water, powder, foam, water mist, and clean agents (extinguishing gases). Selecting the right extinguishing agent for the right application is crucial for effective fire suppression.
Tailoring the Extinguishing Agent to the Application
We choose the appropriate extinguishing agent based on the specific needs of each application. Factors such as the type of vehicle, the nature of the cargo, and the potential fire risks are considered to ensure optimal protection.
Proven Effectiveness of ABC Dry Chemical
As demonstrated by Rise in the SPCR tests (SPCR183, SPCR199, P-mark), ABC dry chemical is the only extinguishing agent that has been proven effective against all common (tested) fires in engine compartments of buses and other heavy equipment. This makes it a reliable choice for comprehensive fire protection in these high-risk environments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Why are fire suppression systems important for off-road machinery?
A1: Off-road machinery operates in high-risk environments with significant fire hazards. Fire suppression systems protect valuable equipment, ensure operator safety, and minimize downtime.
Q2: How do Protega Solutions’ fire suppression systems work?
A2: Our systems utilize advanced fire detection tubing. Upon detecting a fire, the system automatically releases a suppression agent (dry chemical, clean agent, or foam) to extinguish the fire quickly and efficiently.
Q3: What are the benefits of using Protega Solutions’ fire suppression systems?
A3: Our systems enhance safety, ensure regulatory compliance, reduce potential damage and downtime, and provide reliable performance under extreme conditions.
Q4: Are Protega Solutions’ fire suppression systems customizable?
A4: Yes, we offer endless customization options, including in-cabin monitoring, manual activation, engine shutdown, and beacon with siren capabilities to suit your specific needs.
