Mechanical Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems
Mechanical Wet Chemical Agent Fire Suppression Systems for Restaurants & Commercial Kitchens
Fires in commercial kitchens can originate from multiple high-risk sources, including defective or damaged heating controls, unattended appliances, overheating burners, and the accumulation of grease or dirt residues.
Our AutoFireX® Mechanical (M Series) Wet Chemical Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems provide a BSI EN 17446 certified, pre-engineered solution designed precisely for these risks, overcoming the unique challenges of active cooking environments. For pneumatic options, please see our AFX P Series Systems.
How Our M Series Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems Work
Delivering fast, reliable and automatic fire suppression, the AutoFireX® Mechanical Series Systems employ a unique mechanical–hydraulic activation mechanism. This incorporates a hydraulic cylinder and lever assembly, connected to a detection line and fitted with fusible links or Thermobulbs, enabling rapid fire detection and automatic suppression when installed in accordance with the Design & Installation Manual.
Featuring CE-marked stainless steel and mild steel cylinders, these systems are manufactured in UKAS-accredited ISO 9001:2015 facilities and are designed and rigorously tested to meet globally recognised fire protection standards, ensuring robust performance and compliance in demanding commercial kitchen environments.
These international standards include BS EN 17446:2021 (European Standard for Fire Extinguishing Systems in Commercial Kitchens), UL 300 (Fire Testing of Fire Extinguishing Systems for Commercial Cooking Equipment), NFPA 17A (Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems), and NFPA 96 (Ventilation Control & Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations).
Features of Our Mechanical Commercial Kitchen Fire Protection System
Boasting patented activation technology with no pressurised components required, these Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems deliver fast, accurate mechanical fire detection, working at pressures as low as 15 Bar. Available in 8-flow point (10-litre capacity) and 16-flow point (20-litre capacity) configurations, they support multi-cylinder installations of up to five cylinders, which can be recharged and re-pressured on site.
Each system is equipped with an integrated microswitch for fire alarm or audio-visual annunciation, with optional mechanical or electrical gas shut-off valves. Designed for ease of installation, maintenance, and servicing, they feature laser-marked nozzles (two types) for precise application and allow for straightforward hydraulic and agent volume calculations.
