Industrial Fryer Protection

AquaMist ULF for Industrial Fryer Protection (IFP)

Protect Oil with Water Mist

Insurers classify manufacturing sites with industrial fryers as high-risk premises due to the elevated fire risk and costs of business interruption. AquaMist IFP is a low-pressure water mist system that quickly extinguishes industrial oil cooker fires while minimizing water damage. With FM Approval and EN14972 compliance, the solution offers effective protection while reducing the impact of fire events and the cleanup process.

Why water mist?

• Prevent reignition: both extinguishes a fire and rapidly absorbs heat from the oil to avoid reflash; in comparison; C02 extinguishes but does not cool the oil
• Alleviate EHS concerns: the large volume of CO2 used in a gaseous system is undesirable to many end-users due to personnel health and safety concerns and the additional safety measures required
• Reduce system downtime: following a system activation, a water mist system can be returned to service much faster than a CO2 system, helping reduce operational downtime and minimizes the cost to the end-use
