How it works: Hydramist® fire suppression systems quickly smoother the fire and cool to below re-ignition temperature to prevent the fire from re-starting.

An oven fire would typically be extinguished in under 10 seconds and then cooled to below ignition point in under one minute.

Pumped systems are designed to run for an unlimited amount of time they come complete with a dedicated stored water tank which is mains feed for larger applications. Cylinder systems have a pre calculated run time, typically 4 minutes depending on the nozzles used and type.

Greggs are the leading commercial bakers in the UK with over 1000 high street stores throughout the country.

and doughnuts produced each week by a network of ten large, strategically placed factories.

Fireworks Fire Protection Ltd designed, supplied, installed and maintains High Pressure Water Mist Systems that not only protect the doughnut fryers but also give periphery protection around each fryer canopy to segregate the risk from the main factory in the event of a fire.

These bespoke systems were designed to suit both Greggs and their insurers and were the result of extensive live fire testing to ensure that the safest and most efficient system was installed.

Smoke Removal A further effect of the Hydramist® system is ‘smoke washing’ removing smoke particles from the atmosphere in the fire area reducing and preventing smoke spread to other areas.

Because the water mist is very fine, smoke particles attach themselves to the water droplets and fall to the floor.

This means that the smoke from the fire is contained in the fire affected area and washed to the floor. The smoke does not spread throughout the building.
