Its primary focus includes the protection of areas where ventilating equipment is standard, including ducts, filters, plenums and hoods.

From fryers and range tops to griddles, broilers and woks, this system is adept at ensuring that the diverse cooking equipment in restaurants is shielded from the potential ravages of fire. This makes it an ideal choice for a range of establishments, including food court retailers, fast-food establishments, hotels, food trucks, diners, schools, hospitals, convenience stores, catering services, casinos, and stadiums, to name but a few.

Appliance-Specific and Overlapping Designs: Tailoring Protection to Your Kitchen

Recognising the diversity of restaurant kitchens, the R-102 Ansul fire suppression system offers two distinct designs to cater to specific needs which are Appliance -Specific and Overlapping.
