Introduction
In the mining industry, safety is critical, especially concerning Heavy Duty Mobile Equipment (HDME) where fire incidents pose significant risks. Automatic fire suppression systems are essential for mitigating these risks, safeguarding operations, and protecting both workers and assets.

Dafo Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems
Dafo Vehicle systems are engineered to detect and suppress fires early, preventing escalation. They combine advanced detection with rapid response, ensuring effective defense against fire hazards. These systems are robust, designed for challenging conditions, and help maintain business continuity with low total cost of ownership (TCO).

System Features
The Dafo Vehicle system includes a linear heat detector wire for immediate temperature increase detection, and a fully automatic suppression system that quickly extinguishes fires. The suppression agent is distributed through a pipe system with specially designed nozzles. Manual release is available upon request.

Forrex EVO
The suppression agent, Forrex EVO, is 100% fluorine-free and effective on flammable liquid fires. It combines liquid and dry chemical features, offering excellent flame knockdown and protection against re-ignition by cooling overheated engine parts.

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
The extinguishing liquid is harmless, and the non-pressurized containers pose no health risk to operators or staff.

Benefits

• Strong cooling effect
• Effective flame knockdown
• Film forming to prevent re-ignition
• Non-pressurized container
• High penetration capability
• Freeze protection down to -50°C
• Easy maintenance and cleanup
• Independent system
• Non-corrosive

HEXA+ Methodology
Dafo Vehicle uses the HEXA+ methodology to collaborate with customers globally, ensuring safety from fire through risk analysis, system design, delivery, training, installation, and after-sales support.

Functionality
The system uses a linear heat detector wire to signal the actuator, releasing nitrogen to distribute the Forrex EVO agent through nozzles, activating alarms to warn the driver.

Standards & Certificates
Dafo Vehicle adheres to all relevant standards and regulations, including SBF 127:17 and AS 5062, ensuring compliance and certification in applicable markets.
