Automatic Protection When Seconds Count
Grease fires in commercial kitchens escalate rapidly. Automatic fire suppression systems detect and extinguish fires immediately—protecting your staff, customers, property, and business from catastrophic loss.
How Suppression Systems Work
- Heat Detection – Fusible links positioned above cooking equipment sense dangerous temperatures
- Automatic Activation – System discharges chemical suppressant directly onto fire source
- Fuel Shutoff – Gas and electrical supplies to cooking equipment cut automatically
- Manual Pull Stations – Staff can activate system manually if needed
Why Fire Suppression is Required?
- Life Safety
Kitchen fires endanger everyone in your building. Suppression systems activate instantly, controlling flames before evacuation becomes necessary. - Code Mandate
Health departments and fire codes require automatic suppression over all commercial cooking equipment producing grease-laden vapors. - Insurance Requirement
Commercial kitchen insurance depends on properly installed and maintained fire suppression systems. - Business Continuity
Quick suppression minimizes damage, reducing downtime and repair costs after fire events.
System Components
- Suppression Agent Tanks – Chemical storage cylinders sized for your equipment
- Detection System – Fusible links or heat sensors positioned strategically
- Discharge Nozzles – Precisely aimed at fire-prone areas
- Gas Valve Shutoff – Automatic fuel interruption during activation
- Manual Pull Station – Accessible emergency activation point
Installation Coordination
- Hood System Integration – Nozzle placement coordinated with hood manufacturer specifications
- Gas Line Shutoff Valve – Proper electrical or mechanical actuation systems
- Electrical Disconnects – Interrupting power to cooking equipment during discharge
- Ductwork Nozzle Placement – Protecting entire exhaust pathway
Chemical Agent Types
- Wet Chemical Systems – Modern standard for kitchen applications, effective on grease fires
- Class K Rated – Specifically designed for commercial cooking equipment fires
- Cooling Effect – Suppresses flames while preventing re-ignition
What Gets Protected
- Cooking Equipment – Ranges, fryers, griddles, charbroilers, woks
- Exhaust Hoods – Protection extending into hood plenum areas
- Duct Systems – Nozzles placed in exhaust ductwork preventing duct fires
- Filters – Coverage for grease-collecting baffle filters
New Kitchen Installations
Fire suppression design happens early in kitchen planning. We coordinate with hood manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and contractors for seamless integration.
Existing System Upgrades
Older systems using outdated agents need replacement. We upgrade to modern wet chemical systems meeting current fire codes and safety standards.
Equipment Changes and Modifications
Adding cooking equipment or reconfiguring your line? Suppression system coverage must be updated. We evaluate changes and modify protection accordingly.
Multi-Station Protection
Large commercial kitchens with multiple cooking lines often need separate suppression zones. We design integrated systems providing complete coverage across all areas.
Training Provided
Your staff needs to understand system operation, manual activation procedures, and emergency response protocols. We provide training during installation.
Coverage Design
We don't use generic templates. Each installation gets designed specifically for your equipment layout, hood configuration, and cooking methods—ensuring complete coverage where fires actually start.
