Agriculture and forestry

Chaff, straw and wood chips on hot parts, far from the nearest fire service.

Automatic suppression system

FireFix for agriculture and forestry

Dust, straw, leaves and wood debris build up around the engine and exhaust. On forage harvesters and combines, it is mainly chaff and dust around the exhaust manifold; on forestry machines, sawdust and wood debris. That makes the fire risk on agricultural and forestry machines high. FireFix detects a fire at an early stage and acts immediately. FireFix is suitable for tractors, forage harvesters, combine harvesters, forestry harvesters, forwarders, wood chippers and other forestry machines, among others.

Monitoring of engine compartment and exhaust
Lower risk of fire from chaff, straw and sawdust
Thorough annual inspection of the entire system

Applications

Machines we protect

Harvesters and combines

RISK: Chaff, straw and dust on hot parts during long harvest days.
FIREFIX: Detection along exhaust and engine, foam against smouldering.

Forestry machines

RISK: Wood chips and resin around the engine, far from help.
FIREFIX: Automatic suppression in remote locations.

Wheel loaders in timber yards

RISK: Bark, sawdust and resin build up around engine and exhaust.
FIREFIX: Engine and hydraulic compartments protected together.

Fire risks

Why fires start here

In harvest and forestry, fine organic material collects in engine bays and can smoulder for a long time. Machines often work far from fire services, so the first minutes count.

Exhaust manifold

Chaff and dust build up around the exhaust manifold of forage harvesters and combines.

Engine compartment

Long days in dry, dusty material, with little time to blow it clean.

Sawdust and wood debris

On forestry machines, sawdust and wood debris get in everywhere.

Remote locations

Far from the fire brigade, and a fire can spread to crops, barns or forest.

Insurance

Insurers in heavy-duty sectors often set conditions for automatic fire suppression and for maintenance. Check what your policy requires; an annual FireFix inspection is documented.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

My machines only run a few months a year. Is FireFix worth it?

Especially then. In season, machines run long days in the driest material. FireFix is always ready, even after months of standing still. Schedule the annual inspection just before the season.

Is FireFix suitable for forestry machines?

Yes. FireFix is suitable for harvesters, forwarders and wood chippers, among others, where sawdust and wood debris build up around the engine and exhaust.
