Dafo Forrex - Fire Extinguishing System for Forestry Machinery
The statistics on fires in heavy machinery are alarming. These fires occur due to several factors: vehicles endure long periods of activity under extreme conditions, they contain a considerable amount of flammable substances such as fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluid, grease, etc. Furthermore, they can work with flammable materials and in high risk environments, increasing the possibilities of fire. Such incidents can lead to costly vehicle repairs, long periods of inactivity, and even total vehicle loss, as well as extensive damage to the environment, workplace, nearby machinery, or people. The incorporation of a Dafo automatic extinguishing system is one of the most effective preventive and functional measures for the protection of your vehicle.
SWOT has been the first company to obtain the SPCR 183 certificate, passing the most demanding extinction tests in the engine compartment and cabin. Many of the leading brands in forestry machinery install SWOT extinguishing systems as standard. To date, SWOT has sold more than 100,000 systems in leading brands such as CAT, Volvo, John Deere, Komatsu, Rottne, Sampo, Timberpro, Eco-Log, Neuson and Logset among others.
Since its inception in 1919, SWOT has grown into a high-tech company, being one of the largest Nordic distributors of fire safety systems. That is why we can offer the best personalized solutions to each client, their satisfaction being our main objective.
The fire is detected by the detector cable (8) that sends a signal through the control unit (4) to the detonator (3), which creates a hole in the nitrogen bottle (2). This pressurizes the extinguishing agent tank (1), releasing the agent at a pressure of approximately 21 bar and distributing it through the system of pipes (9 and 11) and diffusers (12). At the same time that the system is activated, the optical (6) and acoustic (7) alarms are activities. These alarms are indicated in turn on the control panel (5), from which it is also possible to activate the system manually.
CertificationsThe system has been certified by international laboratories and institutions such as TUV, SBF, FM, and Russian fire safety legislation No. 123F3. The SWOT FORREX extinguishing fluid has been certified by the MPA and is certified by the SP Environment, Lloyds Register (ICAO level B) and CCC (China). The DAFO FORREX fire suppression system is EMC, vibration and temperature tested to vehicle standards.
FORREX - Make a differenceThe FORREX extinguishing agent used in our systems is specially designed for use in fires with hydrocarbons. It is highly effective on fires in flammable liquids such as oil, diesel, hydraulic oil, and also on solid materials such as wood, chips, or debris. Quickly extinguishes fires caused by fires caused by fuel leaks from ruptured lines as well as hydraulic oil sprayed under pressure. FORREX also has an impregnating property that adheres it to surfaces, preventing its reactivation.
Customized SystemThe SWOT FORREX system works automatically and also supports manual or semi-automatic activations. It supports the installation of several actuators located in different places of the vehicle. The control unit incorporates a paper with visual information in real time for the operator.
Personnel SafetyThe FORREX extinguishing liquid is harmless while the lack of pressure in the resting state does not represent any risk to the health of the operators.
