Fume cabinet fire suppression
system Firetrace is introducing an automatic fire detection and suppression system that extinguishes fires inside fume cabinets with an internal volume of 7m³ or less
Firetrace fume cabinet fire suppression systems feature flexible, polymer tubing that can be installed anywhere within a fume cabinet; especially in the baffle, where it provides immediate fire detection as the flames will follow the airflow When the tubing is exposed to 100C, it ruptures, instantly activating the system and dispensing a fire-suppression agent

Designed to detect and extinguish a small fire before it can spread and require the activation of a building's sprinkler system, Firetrace fume cabinet fire suppression systems are easily customised because of the proprietary tubing and choice of suppression agents such as FM-200, C02, dry chemical powders, and foam.
No electricity or external power is necessary.
Firetrace fume cabinet fire suppression systems are priced according to the tubing requirements, type of fire suppression agent, and the cylinder size.
