Mining
Protection for heavy duty mining equipment, like bucket wheel excavators (BWE), requires rigorously tested and trusted fire detection and suppression. The ANSUL CHECKFIRE 210 Quad Infrared Detector (QIR) provides mine operators with the capability for faster detection and response to fires on mining vehicles, allowing for greater continuity of operations and unparalled peace of mind.
Featuring an infrared flame detector optimized for use on mobile mining equipment, the CHECKFIRE 210 QIR is designed for the operational rigors of the industry. It provides a comprehensive, efficient solution for fire detection in off-road mining vehicles and helps ensure the protection of valuable assets in challenging environments.
Maintenance and protection of the electrical and control systems components of your BWE is also critical to your operations in the event of a fire. The N-101 system uses a clean-agent, specifically designed to protect electrical equipment in a wide range of operating temperatures -65°F to 210°F (-54°C to 99°C).
Onboard an excavator there are several fire risks with fuel and hydraulic lines near super-heated surfaces. The combination of CHECKFIRE 210 and a Liquid Vehicle Suppression (LVS) system offers a great solution for automatic detection, actuation, and suppression flexibility on these machines. The addition of REDLINE cartridge operated fire extinguishers combined with this automatic fire suppression system, offers an added protection for operator egress.
An ideal protection solution for these vehicles is a combination of the CHECKFIRE 110-D control module and LVS Suppression system. Utilization of the new LVS-M1 tank design for the tight/limited spaces allows users to take advantage of the market leading fire fighting performance of the LVS NF-40 agent while minimizing the fire suppression system footprint.
The exclusive ANSUL CHECKFIRE MP-N Electronic Detection and Actuation System meets the permissible electronic requirements for underground mining applications. Underground vehicles protected include but are not limited to:
• Loaders
• Trucks
• Drills
• Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs)
• Locomotives and
• People carriers
With the self-contained internal power source, and the options of automatic detection, alarm, actuation and machine shutdown, the MP-N protects your assets 24-hours a day. When paired with an ANSUL Vehicle Fire Suppression System, the MP-N sets the industry standard for fast reliable underground fire protection.
Haul trucks are a key asset to high-production mining, where automatic fire suppression is a critical piece of keeping that truck in operation should fire strike.
The CHECKFIRE 210 Detection and Actuation system provides around the clock detection for fires, with the addition of the Quad Infrared Detector (QIR) it provides mine operators with the capability for faster detection and response to fires on mining vehicles, allowing for greater continuity of operations and unparalled peace of mind.
Great detection combined with significant fire-fighting and cooling performance of LVS NF-40 Fire Suppression system provides end-to-end vehicle fire protection.
