Reacton Agricultural Equipment Fire Protection

Product information

Reacton Fire

Agricultural equipment operates for long periods in demanding conditions to help keep the farming industry productive. With minimal downtime and often limited maintenance, the risk of a fire breaking out cannot be ignored, and even the smallest fire can spread quickly. In agricultural settings a machine fire can also spread to the surrounding area, which is particularly dangerous around dry crops in high-heat conditions.

APPLICATIONS AND RISK AREAS: • Engine compartments - various high-risk components • Drive systems - will spread the fire quickly • Electrical systems - threat of spreading fire to surrounding components • Battery enclosures - increases the severity of the fire • Hydraulic manifolds - increases severity due to flammable hydraulic fluid

HOW THE REACTON SYSTEM WORKS: Reacton's dual-agent system uses a unique pneumatic detection tube installed throughout the risk area. Once the tube is compromised by heat from a fire, it triggers the rapid deployment of an effective 'knock-down' dry powder, and, in the dual-agent configuration, delivers a wet chemical agent that cools the surface to prevent re-ignition. The system requires no external power to detect or activate and is fully automatic around the clock.

ADVANTAGES OF A REACTON SYSTEM: • Fully automatic - detects and activates without any external power source • Rapid detection and immediate agent delivery, typically in under 10 seconds • 24/7 protection with zero false alarms • Extremely low maintenance • 10-year service life, 3-year warranty on all parts • Compact and lightweight, simple to install • Suitable for both new-build (OEM) and retrofit installations

APPROVALS: • AS 5062:2016 - protection of mobile and transportable equipment (construction, plant, mining and agricultural machinery), held for both the single dry powder agent and the Reacton F3 fluorine-free foam dual agent • UL Listed - Reacton's detection tube as a Heat-Automatic Fire Detector component • P-Mark to SPCR 199 - fire suppression systems in engine compartments of heavy vehicles
