ANSUL® LVS Liquid Agent Fire Suppression System
The ANSUL® LVS Liquid Agent Fire Suppression System suppresses fires in mobile equipment used in a wide range of industries including mining, forestry, waste management, transportation and others. The system agent provides both fire suppression and superior cooling of superheated surfaces while blanketing the fuel and cutting off oxygen to help prevent reflash. It flows readily into hard-to-reach areas along the same path flammable liquids may have flowed. The wet chemical agent provides a strong measure of freeze protection along with the foaming properties associated with conventional Class B liquid agents.
The ANSUL® CHECKFIRE 210 Detection and Actuation System
The ANSUL® CHECKFIRE 210 Detection and Actuation System is engineered to stand up to extreme operating environments. This versatile system is designed to provide detection, alarm and fire suppression system actuation for mobile applications like hydraulic excavators, haul trucks, wheeled loaders, dozers and graders. The CHECKFIRE 210 is typically used with an ANSUL A-101, LVS or Twin-Agent Vehicle Fire Suppression System for 24-hour protection of equipment.
RAASM Centralised lubrication systems
Centralised lubrication systems are designed to automatically lubricate moving parts that generate friction.

Restaurant Fire Suppression Systems
R-102™ and PIRANHA®
ANSUL® introduced the concept of automatic restaurant fire suppression in 1962, at a time when kitchen fires were one of the greatest causes of restaurant loss. Since then, advances in engineering and materials technology have helped make ANSUL Restaurant Fire Suppression Systems the leading foodservice fire protection solution in the world. The heart of these ANSUL systems lies in their ability to quickly detect and suppress fires. The ANSUL R-102™ and PIRANHA® systems use advanced extinguishing agents to ensure rapid flame knock-down and vapour securement. Cooling these high-efficiency appliances after initial flame knockdown is critical to eliminating reflash and minimising restaurant downtime.
