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.

Upon fire detection, the system immediately activates the suppression process.

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.

Key features include:

• 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.

Automatic Machine Shutdown & Fire Containment

Once activated, the system releases CO2 or Argon gas through precision-engineered nozzles, displacing atmospheric oxygen and stopping combustion. Simultaneously, the machine tool is automatically shut down to prevent further damage or re-ignition.

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

• UK Fire Safety Legislation Requirements
