CNC Fire Suppression Systems

Increasing amounts of CNC Machine shops are looking at alternatives for coolant such as oil based coolants to achieve greater precision and tool life in applications such as medical, aerospace, marine and automotive fire safety applications. However with so many moving parts this chance comes an increased risk of fire in CNC Machines. To mitigate the risk Reacton has successful installed and suppressed fires in CNC machines for over 25 years, saving machine shops and CNC operators from the effects of fires.

Our systems are recognised by major insurance underwriters and supported by a comprehensive fire risk assessment before installation. Our CNC EDM fire protection system is suitable to be fitted to all CNC machines including high precision machines and swiss type lathes.  

The Reacton CNC machine fire suppression system uses our proprietary detection tubing, which once installed in the protected area will detect a fire inside the CNC Mills. Once the fire is detected, our patented automatic pneumatic value operates, causing the extinguishing agent to be released into the CNC Milling machines to extinguish the fire.

Additional options such as pressure switches and indication panels alert the CNC operator to flash fire. These are often connected to central building alarm panels and other communication platforms.

Reacton systems are designed to meet the most robust and demanding certification standards around the world. Our automatic fire suppression systems are independent of power supplies which ensures detection and suppression in any condition. Our systems are all manufactured and designed under our BSI ISO9001:2015 quality policy and are CE & DOT Compliant. Our components undergo vigorous testing such as ISO 16750-3:2007, ISO 21207, IEC 60529:1989.
