Foam & Kitchen Suppression
A fryer fire grows in seconds, and throwing water on burning oil makes it explode. Grease in the hood and duct carries the fire into the ceiling.
Kitchen suppression systems sit quietly above your cooking line. When heat rises, they spray a wet-chemical agent onto the appliances and into the duct, and cut the gas supply at the same moment.
fires can't be fought with water – kitchens need their own protection
Cooking-oil fires need their own answer
Commercial kitchens and fryers are a leading source of fires. Burning oil reacts violently with water, and grease in hoods and ducts spreads fire quickly. Kitchen suppression systems detect fire in the hood and discharge wet chemical over the appliances while shutting off the gas.

Kitchen & foam technologies
Wet chemical systems
Discharge a potassium-based agent that cools oil and forms a soapy layer (saponification) to stop re-ignition.
Fusible-link / tube detection
Heat-sensitive links or tubing in the hood trigger the system automatically.
Automatic gas shut-off
Gas to the cooking line closes when the system fires.
Foam systems (AFFF / fluorine-free)
For fuel stores and tank farms – foam blankets burning liquids.
Everything in the scope
Foam proportioners and monitors
Foam concentrate supply
Kitchen hood wet-chemical systems
Automatic gas/electric shut-off
