AFEX Fire Suppression Systems
Increased capacity for heavy equipment
FM 5970 is the globally recognized benchmark for fire suppression systems designed for heavy-duty mobile equipment (HDME). The 3-gallon Compact System is designed for machines that require more fire suppression agent than the 1.5-gallon system can provide, while still needing a compact footprint. This makes it well-suited for equipment with larger engine compartments, higher heat exposure, or more complex hazard areas.
The system is intended for applications where heat, hydraulic fluids, fuel, debris, and tight machine layouts can increase fire risk. By offering both 1.5-gallon and 3-gallon options, AFEX gives equipment owners and distributors more flexibility to select the right-sized system for each application.
SAFE-X is engineered to:
- Rapidly reduce temperatures on high-heat components
- Help prevent re-ignition through effective cooling
- Penetrate debris and suppress fires involving fuel and hydraulic fluids
Liquid agent systems are particularly effective in applications where cooling is critical and where flammable fluids, debris, and hot surfaces are common fire risks.
AFEX offers both liquid agent and dry chemical fire suppression systems, allowing customers to select the appropriate solution based on the specific hazards, machine type, and operating environment.
The certification confirms that the system has undergone rigorous independent testing to ensure performance under real-world conditions, including vibration, temperature extremes, and demanding operating environments.
The AFEX 3-gallon Compact Liquid Agent Fire Suppression System is now available through AFEX’s global network of authorized distributors.
