Designed for the Toughest Work Environments

Amerex FM5320 approved Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems are designed with the toughest work environments in mind including; mining, aggregates, waste management, mass transit, forestry and ports.

Our systems are designed to warn the operator and suppress the fire, protecting both equipment and employees. The automatic systems suppresses the fire in its earliest stages, before it becomes fully established and spreads into highly combustible areas. As a result, damage is limited and equipment down time is held to a minimum.

An Amerex Vehicle Fire Suppression System will lower your fire risk, which can reduce your insurance premiums. Many insurance companies have recognised a reduction in claims paid out due to the presence of fire systems with independent testing and approvals, such as FM5320 and the SP Technical Institute P Mark certification.

Kodiak Fierce Vehicle Fire Protection

Quality without Compromise and Experienced Innovation

The best mining operations are uncompromising when it comes to the quality and reliability of their vehicles. At Amerex, we believe the same should be true when it comes to protecting those investments from debilitating fires and loss of production. With the experience of over 100,000 fire suppression systems sold, the Amerex vehicle fire suppression team has developed the most innovative fire suppression systems in the industry. The KODIAK Fire Suppression Systems provide Fast and Fierce Fire Protection.

The KODIAK Advantage - Stored Pressure Agent Cylinders

Vehicles are different, and so are the protection agent options. We know that all vehicle hazards are not the same, so we offer three different suppression agent options to protect your vehicle.

Dry Agent Systems - provide the fastest fire knockdown as well as getting into those hard to reach areas where fire may hide.

ICS Liquid Agent Chemical - Provides suppression and cooling of heated surfaces to help prevent a fire from reigniting.

Amerex Dry-ICS Systems - Combines the strengths of both agents and provides the best possible fire protection option by providing rapid fire knockdown with dry agent and the cooling effects of the ICS liquid agent system.

The KODIAK Advantage - Fire Detection Options

Linear Heat Detection

Linear Heat Detection cables have long been the industry standard and provide a continuous heat detection cable run inside the hazard area. The Kodiak Advantage has amped up the traditional cable with a more robust abrasion resistant outer jacket and factory installed connectors for reliability and ease of service. The cable is also available with a stainless steel wire protective covering for extreme environments.

Spot Heat Detection

Spot Heat Detectors are available in three different preset temperature settings for flexibility and provide rapid heat detection and system activation. Spot Heat Detectors have factory installed connectors for reliability and ease of installation and service.

IR3 Infrared Detection

The Kodiak IR3 Infrared Detector is the fastest responding detector in the industry, responding to fire within seconds. Faster response means less damage and less downtime. IR3 detectors “see” the fire by recognizing the light wavelength patterns thrown off by the hydrocarbon fire.

Amerex ICS suppression system

• Amerex ICS System is an FM Approved, pre-engineered fire suppression and cooling system designed specifically for protection of vehicles
• Each system uses vertical and horizontal stored pressure agent cylinders discharging ICS agent to predetermined nozzle flow rates
• The ICS system works by blanketing liquid fuel surfaces preventing oxygen from combining with ignition sources and fuel
• Each system provides cooling of heated surfaces to reduce the chances of a fire re-ignition
• Each system can operate within temperature ranges from -40F to 120F (-40C to 49C)

Amerex Dry-ICS dual agent suppression system

• Amerex Dry-ICS System provides the best possible fire protection option by combining the rapid knockdown power of dry agent with the cooling effect of ICS liquid agent
• The dual agent is designed for simultaneous discharge or with a time delay between Dry and ICS release for an extended discharge for larger vehicles
• The Dry-ICS system meets the dual agent requirement of NFPA 122 12.3.6.1.1 for hydraulic/diesel excavators with hydraulic systems larger than 150 gallons
