Semi-Automatic (Manual) Fire Suppression System
Universal Semi-Automatic (Manual) Fire Suppression System is an economical, reliable solution where the operator manually activates the system using a palm button actuator. No electronic control panel or automatic detection required — perfect for cost-sensitive applications
Engineered in Bangalore. Tested across 14 mining states. Backed by a 4-hour SLA service network.
Engineered for the toughest mining environments.
The Semi-Automatic / Manual AFDSS is a simple and robust fire suppression system without automatic detection. It is widely used where manual intervention is acceptable or budget is a constraint. How it Works: In case of fire, the operator pulls the safety pin and strikes the palm button on the Manual Actuator. This releases Nitrogen gas, which activates the pneumatic actuator on the DCP cylinder. ABC Dry Chemical Powder discharges through the nozzles instantly. It can be supplied with 4, 6, or 8 nozzles depending on vehicle size. Very popular in Indian mining industry due to its simplicity, low maintenance, and lower cost.
