Suppression system

The Fogmaker System

Designed to protect heavy machinery in the most demanding environments on the planet. The system acts automatically upon detecting heat — without electricity or human intervention.

Automatic detection

The patented detection hose runs through the critical points of the engine. On contact with heat above the threshold, it activates the system immediately.

Mist at 100 bar

1 liter of water generates 1,700 liters of mist. The expansion cools the compartment by more than 700 °C in seconds and displaces oxygen from the heat source.

Suppression + Anti re-ignition

The Eco 1 agent (100% PFAS Free) creates a protective barrier on hot surfaces that prevents any subsequent re-ignition.

Operating principle

How it works

The suppression process occurs in three simultaneous phases: cooling, oxygen displacement and anti re-ignition barrier formation. All in less than 10 seconds.

100
bar

100 bar pressure

Water is discharged at 100 bar, atomizing into droplets of just 1 mm diameter for maximum coverage.

×8K

×8,000 surface factor

Atomization multiplies the contact surface area of water by 8,000, absorbing heat massively and rapidly.

×1.7K

×1,700 expansion

1 liter expands to 1,700 liters of steam, simultaneously displacing oxygen and suffocating the fire.

700°

>700 °C thermal drop

Compartment temperature drops by more than 700 °C in less than 10 seconds — without damaging equipment.

Guaranteed anti re-ignition

The Eco 1 agent forms a persistent thermal barrier on hot surfaces, preventing any re-ignition.

Differentiating advantages

Why Fogmaker?

Over 30 years protecting heavy machinery in the most demanding industries in the world. The only solution that acts before, during and after the fire without relying on electrical energy.

Certified kits available for Caterpillar, Komatsu, Atlas Copco, Sandvik, Liebherr and hundreds of other models.

No electricity

Fully autonomous operation. Works even if the equipment's electrical system fails during a fire.

IP66+ Sealed

The mist does not penetrate electrical or sealed components, avoiding costly secondary damage to the equipment.

100% PFAS Free

Eco 1 agent certified GreenScreen Silver. No fluorides. Suitable for environmentally sensitive areas.

Anti re-ignition

Thermal barrier that persists on hot surfaces, blocking any possibility of re-ignition.

Installation <1 day

Professional certified installation in less than one day. Designed to minimize operational downtime.

World leader

Present in over 50 countries with thousands of units installed in the world's leading mining fleets.

Real industry data

Fire causes in
mining machinery

The engine compartment concentrates almost half of fires in mining machinery — exactly where Fogmaker acts in the first 10 seconds.

Mining Machinery Fire Causes — Fogmaker data

New threat

BEV
Mining

Electric mining vehicles present a different risk: lithium battery fires are more violent, harder to extinguish and more toxic than conventional fires.

Fogmaker has developed specific detection and suppression solutions for BEV — protecting batteries, cabs and operators in the new paradigm of electric mining.

Lithium battery fires

A lithium battery fire can reach +1,000 °C with release of toxic gases. Fogmaker cools and contains the thermal event.

Thermal Runaway

"Thermal runaway" can chain irreversibly between cells. Fogmaker interrupts the propagation cycle.

Operator protection

The mist creates a barrier that protects the cab and allows the safe and orderly evacuation of the operator.

Certified BEV kits

Certified installation kits for each electric mining equipment model, integrating detection and suppression.

Agent technology

Exceptional performance

Outstanding cooling effect

1 liter of water expands to 1,700 liters of steam when converted to mist at 100 bar. This expansion absorbs a massive amount of heat energy, reducing the engine temperature by more than 700 °C in less than 10 seconds.

ECO 1 Agent — PFAS Free

The Eco 1 extinguishing agent is the only market solution with GreenScreen Silver certification. Contains no PFAS, fluorides or harmful compounds. Certified for use in environmentally sensitive areas and approved for operation on all continents.

Hydropneumatic technology

The Fogmaker machine

The heart of the system is the hydropneumatic unit: a high-pressure cylinder that stores water + Eco 1 agent without requiring electrical energy for activation. Compact, robust design certified for the extreme vibrations of mining machinery.

Pressure storage

The cylinder permanently maintains water + agent at 100 bar. Ready to activate without pressurization time.

Atomizing nozzle network

The nozzles distribute the mist homogeneously throughout the risk zone, ensuring total coverage of the compartment.

Simplified maintenance

System designed for rapid inspections and efficient field recharging, minimizing equipment downtime.
