CNC Fire Suppression

CNC Fire Suppression Systems

Increasing amounts of CNC Machine shops are looking at alternatives for coolant such as oil based coolants to achieve greater precision and tool life in applications such as medical, aerospace, marine and automotive fire safety applications. However with so many moving parts this chance comes an increased risk of fire in CNC Machines. To mitigate the risk Reacton has successful installed and suppressed fires in CNC machines for over 25 years, saving machine shops and CNC operators from the effects of fires.

Our systems are recognised by major insurance underwriters and supported by a comprehensive fire risk assessment before installation. Our CNC EDM fire protection system is suitable to be fitted to all CNC machines including high precision machines and swiss type lathes.

Protect Any CNC Machine

The Reacton CNC machine fire suppression system uses our proprietary detection tubing, which once installed in the protected area will detect a fire inside the CNC Mills.

Easy To Install

With a modular design & world class training, Reacton ensure that it is simple for systems to be installed in on cabinets and enclosures that have limited room.

3 Year Warranty

Reacton electrical equipment systems carry a robust three year warranty that's only possible because of the robust engineering and quality that goes into every product.

Easy Adaptable

Reacton system can be integrated with any safety alarm or monitoring systems and can be adapted to any requirements of the customer.

No Electrical Power

With no reliance on electrical power or any interfacing the systems are always ready to detect and operate regardless of electricity supply condition.

BSI ISO9001:2015

Our quality management system audited by BSI ensures our products and procedures are amongst the best in the world.

Quality Components

We will never reduce our hard fought reputation for high standards. All our components are manufactured and checked with ruthless scrutiny.

Rugged Design

Tested with almost all functional components constructed from stainless steel, vibration tested to ISO.

CE & DOT

As a global business we ensure our products are compliant where ever they may be fitted. Cylinders are available in both CE & DOT specification.

CNC Fire Suppression Systems

The Reacton CNC machine fire suppression system uses our proprietary detection tubing, which once installed in the protected area will detect a fire inside the CNC Mills. Once the fire is detected, our patented automatic pneumatic value operates, causing the extinguishing agent to be released into the CNC Milling machines to extinguish the fire.

Additional options such as pressure switches and indication panels alert the CNC operator to flash fire. These are often connected to central building alarm panels and other communication platforms.

Reacton systems are designed to meet the most robust and demanding certification standards around the world. Our automatic fire suppression systems are independent of power supplies which ensures detection and suppression in any condition. Our systems are all manufactured and designed under our BSI ISO9001:2015 quality policy and are CE & DOT Compliant. Our components undergo vigorous testing such as ISO 16750-3:2007, ISO 21207, IEC 60529:1989.

Why Clean Agents?

Reacton’s Clean Agent range consists of 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid and FM-200™ waterless fire suppressant from Chemours™. These Clean Agents are the most trusted and tested liquefiable gases on the market with all supply being solely through the biggest names in the industry when it comes to Clean Agents. These can be discharged in both direct and indirect fire suppression systems.

We have the world's first UL Listing to UL2166 for Direct (DLP) Technology Clean Agent systems and we also hold UL2166 Listing for Indirect (ILP) Technology.

Reacton Clean Agent extinguishing mediums all have the following approvals:

Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC)
Factory Mutual (FM)
Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) listed through the United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)

CNC Fire Protection

Reacton uses a patented ultra high flow fire suppression valve. The valve, made from 303 stainless steel alloy, ensures that all extinguishing agents are discharged as designed and appear on every one of our fire suppression systems installed.
