Combine Harvester Fire Suppression Installation and Commissioning
Amet Fire Suppression Industries, recently performed a Fire Suppression Installation and Commissioning on a Combine Harvester, Case 1H 8250 near Brisbane, Queensland.
The harvester was fitted with a foam fire suppression system and tested. Check the video below, to see the farming vehicle being tested (using water).
The foam fire extinguishing agents are safe for operators and the environment. The foam used to extinguish the fire, not only cools the fuel and surrounding structures, but also curtails the risk of fire reignition. >> Foam Fire Fighting Agent Information
The fire detection system uses Linear Heat Detection (LHD) with Wire-sensing using MusterWire. If there is a fire detected by the MusterWire, the system is activated to suppress a fire. The operator can activate the system from withing the cabin, or outside the cabin, with the remote actuator button, accessible from the ground level.
After installation, a full commissioning report is performed, complying with Australian Fire Safety Standards.
