Kraft & Bauer Technical Overview

Watch Our System In Action

A test run demonstrating the effectiveness of Kraft & Bauer in preventing machine damage.

• Customised Detection – Our UV/IR sensors can be calibrated to react to fire in a time tailored to your production.
• Full Suppression – Watch CO₂ extinguish flames without damaging the machine.
• Automatic Shutdown – Demonstrates seamless machine emergency stop during activation.

Advanced Fire Detection Technology

Kraft & Bauer’s fire suppression systems are engineered to detect and respond to fires at their earliest stages, preventing catastrophic incidents. Our specialised detection technology includes:

• Ultra Violet (UV) Flame Detectors – Reacts within 1 second to UV radiation from flames.

• Infra-red (IR) Flame Detectors – Detects the infra-red signature of fire.

• Heat Sensors (70°C/90°C) – Triggers when abnormal heat levels are detected.

• Microprocessor-Controlled Control Unit – Analyses fire detection data and initiates suppression.

• Optical & Acoustic Alarm System – Alerts personnel to fire hazards.

• Manual Emergency Release – Allows immediate manual activation.

Intelligent Microprocessor-Controlled Extinguishing System

Kraft & Bauer’s IP55-rated fire suppression control units (FB713/FB714) are designed for industrial environments and machine tool protection. These systems offer continuous monitoring with visual and audible alerts for power status, operational state, and backup battery function.

• Automatic & Manual Activation – Suppresses fires autonomously or via manual override.

• Integrated Emergency Power Supply – Ensures functionality even during power outages.

• Extinguishing Delay Function – Enables controlled release timing.

• Real-Time System Status Alerts – Immediate warnings for potential faults or fire events.

CO2 & Argon Gas Suppression: Safe & Effective

Kraft & Bauer utilises CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) or Argon gas for effective fire suppression. These inert gases are non-toxic, residue-free, and non-corrosive, ensuring no damage to machine components or coolants.

Key Features of Our Gas Suppression Systems:

• Electromagnetic Valve Release – TÜV-certified for safety and reliability.

• Custom Gas Volume Options – CO2 (5kg-50kg), Argon (10L-50L) to fit different machine sizes.

• High-Pressure Distribution – Ensures fast and efficient fire suppression.

• No Residue or Contamination – Keeps machines and workspaces clean and intact.

Quick System Reset & Minimal Downtime

Post-fire recovery is seamless with Kraft & Bauer’s efficient system reset capabilities:

• Simple Gas Cylinder Replacement – Easy and fast swap of empty bottles.

• Minimised Production Disruptions – Immediate reset reduces operational downtime.

• Engineer Training & Certification – We provide expert training for in-house teams to perform system resets.

24/7 Protection & Industry Compliance

Kraft & Bauer’s fire suppression systems provide round-the-clock automated protection, ensuring continuous safety for unmanned machine operations. Our solutions meet stringent industry regulations, including:

• DIN 14497 & EN Standards

• BGR 134 Professional Safety Regulations

• CE Certification for European Compliance
