MINIFOG® Water Spray
Systems
Finally, fire protection for fiberboard presses and other valuable
assets or production equipment. We now offer a reliable solution
for
protecting your
presses and other objects… MINIFOG®.
The MINIFOG® system was developed
in Germany by
Minimax, a worldwide
leader in the field of fire protection with over a century of
expertise. This state of the
art protection is the result of
an extensive collaboration with press manufacturers, press-end-users,
German insurance
companies and VdS (German OSHA). If you have
been considering or utilizing ceiling sprinklers or fire hoses
for the protection of your presses, you may want to take a look
at the MINIFOG® system. The MINIFOG® system is typically
designed to effectively protect five independent zones: inlet,
middle,
outlet, upper and lower heat tunnels. The system utilizes a
water spray
concentrated in and around the press/object. Here
are just a few of the features and benefits of the system.

- Rapid and reliable identification of fires
- Instantaneous
and dependable extinguishment
- Totally self-monitoring
including supervision of optical integrity
- High operational
reliability
- Connects to existing water supply before
the sprinkler system
The utilization of a water spray for extinguishment
is the key. It is a more highly effective use of water
for the following reasons:
- The system typically requires 1/3 the water
volume of conventional systems and that means less
clean-up and downtime.
- Fine spray evaporates quickly
without damaging equipment and greatly reduces the
possibility of damage
to steel
frames, instrumentation or warping of the belt...
- It
expands more than one thousand times resulting in
a larger area being cooled down in a shorter period
of time.
- As it turns into steam and evaporates, it
reduces the oxygen concentration suffocating the
fire.
