Heavy duty equipment is needed in the mining industry to meet the high standards of production.Fire is one of the causes seeking to disrupt operations since it poses a major risk to workers, equipment, and production.Because of the challenging environment, mining equipment needs a fire suppression system that can compete.
AFEX fire suppression systems are tough, dependable, and simple to maintain since they were designed specifically to resist the daily trauma mining machines endure.Some of the biggest and priciest pieces of machinery in use today are heavy-duty equipment and is employed in the mining industry.
One broken haul truck, loader, drill, dozer, hydraulic shovel, etc. can significantly lower productivity for days, weeks, or even months.As soon as an equipment fire starts, fire suppression systems discharge dry and liquid chemicals to put it out, buying precious seconds that can help limit the damage.
Activated by heat, smoke, or a mix of the two, a fire suppression system, such a fire sprinkler system, is used to put out or contain flames. Instead of using water to do so, a fire suppression system uses gaseous, chemical, or foam fire suppression agents.
The Global Mining Fire Suppression Equipment Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration has launched a new Mining Fire Suppression Equipment Safety Initiative at its quarterly stakeholder call to make sure that mobile equipment’s fire suppression systems are functional and capable of putting out equipment fires.
The campaign appears to involve both increasing enforcement of related laws and training operators about FSS, including proper inspections and maintenance.According to MSHA, several recent occurrences involving fires in mobile equipment serve as a reminder of the FSS’s shortcomings.
The ability of equipment operators to evacuate burning equipment with ease worries MSHA as well.MSHA stated that it is the duty of mine operators to guarantee the provision of suitable and effective fire protection equipment, including fire suppression systems.
The proper elimination and/or mitigation of fire threats on surface vehicles is another duty of mine operators and miners.
