Industrial Fire Suppression Systems: High-Hazard Protection
Advanced engineering to protect your machinery, manufacturing lines, and high-value assets where water-based systems fail.
In industrial environments, a standard fire sprinkler is often insufficient. High-intensity fires involving chemicals, flammable liquids, or sensitive electronics require specialized suppression agents. All American Fire Protection provides custom-engineered solutions for North and South Carolina facilities, ensuring your operation stays compliant and your downtime stays at zero.
Specialized Protection for Industrial Risks
CNC & EDM Machining
High-speed metalwork and oil-based coolants require rapid, localized suppression to prevent total machine loss.
Paint Spray Booths
Our systems meet strict NFPA 33 standards for open-front and enclosed booths, including crane slot coverage.
Chemical & Flammable Liquid Storage
Total flood or local application systems for dip tanks, quench tanks, and hazardous material lockers.
Power Generation
Targeted protection for generator rooms, electrical enclosures, and turbine enclosures.
Technical Solutions
Pneumatic Heat Detection (The Amerex PRM)
What it is
A linear pneumatic tube that runs directly through the hazard area.
The Advantage
It requires no electricity to trigger, making it Intrinsically Safe for explosive environments. It provides 24/7 detection and can run up to 300 ft through pits and across ceilings.
Total Flood vs. Local Application
Total Flood
Ideal for enclosed rooms (up to 5% open wall area) like paint mixing rooms or pump houses. We utilize TFP Nozzles to flood up to 5,440 cu. ft. with minimal piping.
Local Application
Targeted nozzles placed directly over a specific hazard (like a dip tank) to extinguish a fire at the source without filling the entire facility with suppression agent.
Industrial Fire Suppression FAQ
Why can't I just use my building’s water sprinklers for my CNC machine?
Are your industrial systems compliant with local codes?
Yes. All our installations are engineered to meet NFPA 17 (Dry Chemical), NFPA 17A (Wet Chemical), and NFPA 33 (Spray Application) standards, ensuring you pass fire marshal inspections and maintain insurance compliance.
How much downtime should I expect during installation?
We specialize in “clean” installs. Many of our systems, like the Amerex PRM, utilize flexible detection tubing and modular cylinders that can be installed with minimal interruption to your production schedule.
