Production materials and lubricants are fire hazards that are present in most areas of industry. Their worst feature is their ability to become major fires quickly. In many full-scale fire tests as well as in real fires, FOGTEC systems have proven to be extremely effective when fighting hydrocarbon fires.

Depending on individual requirements, FOGTEC systems may be designed as object protection or total flooding systems for CNC centres.

From the operator’s point of view, the normally short shutdown times after activation as well as the fast and inexpensive re-commissioning of the FOGTEC system are major considerations. The minimal amounts of water used in most cases result in short interruptions.

Because water is used in the form of a fine spray, normally no thermal stresses occur that could shorten the life of the machine. This is due to the small droplets creating uniform surface cooling.

Special protection measures against the effect of the water mist for staff are not required since the FOGTEC mist is absolutely safe.
