La tecnología en equipos y en sistemas de supresión de incendios está en constante evolución. Por eso, Trizcon asistió a la Escuela de Capacitación Técnica AFEX 2026 para mantenerse al día con las nuevas tecnologías y sistemas emergentes.

The Most Important Machine You've NEVER Heard Of.

A deicer is the only auxiliary equipment at an airport that can stop a flight if it goes down. These trucks spray liquid onto airplanes to remove ice. During colder months, these vital machines are working hard to ensure you can fly on time.

That is why AFEX protects deicers with fire suppression systems. Boilers, hydraulic fluids, and fuel are all potential risks. Our systems detect the fire and quickly suppress it.

CAT 794 Haul Truck - AFEX System Install

This CAT 794 can haul up to 654,000 pounds of material in a single load and weighs 1.15 million pounds when fully loaded. These beasts are designed for mining applications where they run all day. That's exactly the type of asset that deserves AFEX Fire Suppression Systems.

This installation took place back in 2021 and has a dual agent system, 180 lbs of dry agent and 15 gallons of liquid. Our system is ready to protect these operators and the equipment.

How easy is it to discharge the fire suppression system with our new Compact Panel? It's as simple as pushing a button. 🔥

The next-generation Compact Panel now features on-panel press-to-discharge actuation, giving operators a simple, direct way to activate the system when needed. It keeps the compact, straightforward design our distributors already know, while adding upgrades that make installation, service, and field support even easier!

Every fire needs three things to survive: heat, fuel, and oxygen. This is known as the Fire Triangle 🔥

On heavy equipment, the 3 elements are hot engine components, combustible fluids, and a constant oxygen supply. That's why fire protection is critical.

Our fire suppression systems are designed to attack the Fire Triangle fast. Using a combination of dry agent and liquid agent, AFEX systems help cool surfaces, suppress flames, and interrupt the combustion process before a small incident becomes a catastrophic equipment fire.

Whether you're operating wheel loaders, haul trucks, excavators, forestry equipment, or mining machines, having an automatic fire suppression system can help protect your operators, equipment, and uptime.

Today is National Best Friend Day!

Our dual agent system is the perfect pair.

The dry chemical system provides fast fire knockdown and total-flooding of enclosed compartments, while the liquid chemical system targets hot surfaces for fast cooling and protection against fire reignition.

Dual agent systems combine the strengths of both technologies for more comprehensive protection.

CAT 6040 AFEX Install

This CAT 6040 hydraulic shovel added fire suppression back in 2023. The AFEX Fire Suppression System installation helps protect one of the mining industry's hardest-working production machines. from the constant fire risks associated with hydraulic systems, diesel fuel, electrical components, and high operating temperatures.

There are only about 200 currently in operation. With an operating weight just below 100,000 lbs it is no surprise you do not see this everyday. This massive machine's bucket is rated for 44 ton (88,000 lbs) and features dual CAT C32B engines.

Waste and recycling equipment works in some of the toughest conditions out there. Heat, debris, long hours, and constant movement can all raise the risk of fire.

A single equipment fire can affect operators, maintenance crews, schedules, productivity, and the rest of the operation around it.

AFEX Fire Suppression Systems are built to help protect heavy-duty equipment where downtime isn’t an option. Keep your people safe and your equipment moving...so you don't waste a second of time. 🔥
