CNC Machining Fire Suppression Systems | Firetrace

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Reliability is the name of the game. Knowing that a fire in your machine won't cost you your business offers peace of mind, allowing you to focus on growth.

Uptime, do we need to say more? A quick system reaction combined with the use of clean agents gets you back to work quickly. Ensuring your machines are always available to produce protects existing contracts and future revenues.

TESTIMONALS

Fire suppression systems are big investments for small shops like ours, but after seeing what the system can do and with running unattended, it's critical for any machine we buy from now on to have it.

Dan Rudolph, Owner

You’d have to be out of your mind to not buy a Firetrace system if you have a machine that has oil coolant. I would never put myself at that risk.

John Koerner, Owner

I can have a machine catch on fire – within 45 minutes, I’ll have that machine back up and running production.

Julie Lowry, Director of Facilities & EHS

Firetrace gives me the confidence to run my machines unattended and gives reassurance that mistakes during setup won’t turn disastrous. All my machines have Firetrace, so will my next one.

Dan Fifer, President

Your product has saved this company hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Types of Machine Fires

Class B

Class B

Class B fires are the most common in CNC machining environments. They involve flammable liquids such as oils, lubricants, and coolants. These substances can easily ignite due to heat, friction, or sparks generated during the machining process, especially if fluids are allowed to pool or mist in the enclosure.

Class D

Class D

Class D fires occur when machining combustible metals like magnesium, titanium, or zirconium. Fine metal chips from these materials can ignite under high heat or sparks, and once started, these fires burn at extremely high temperatures. They require special dry powder extinguishing agents, as using water or standard fire suppressants can be dangerous.

Types of Agent for Machine Fires

FK 5-1-12 Clean Agent

FK-5-1-12 is a clean agent designed to deliver rapid, reliable fire suppression in high-value and sensitive environments. Stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas, it leaves no residue after use and is electrically non-conductive.

High Pressure CO2

CO₂ suppresses fires by removing oxygen, quickly putting out flames without leaving residue. Its non-conductive and clean characteristics make it suitable for protecting environments with sensitive equipment, but it has its risks.
