ANSUL Suppression System vs Flamethrow XR Pro 1

Every commercial kitchen understands the critical importance of fire safety. Large-scale suppression systems like ANSUL R-102 are often mandated and rightly so – they are designed to handle catastrophic fires. But what about the small, everyday flare-ups that can quickly escalate? The pan fire, the grill grease catching flame? These are the incidents that are most common, and they highlight a significant gap that our innovative extinguishing apron is designed to fill.

While your ANSUL system is your ultimate guardian, a discharge comes with a hefty price tag beyond just the fire itself.

The Real Cost of an ANSUL Discharge: More Than Just the Fire

Imagine a small grease fire on your grill. A quick, manual pull of the ANSUL system, and the flames are out. Success! But then the true cost begins:

• Massive Mess & Cleanup: The wet chemical agent, while effective, spreads across every exposed surface, equipment, and even into ductwork. Cleanup is extensive, labour-intensive, and often requires professional services.

• Total Downtime: Your kitchen grinds to a halt. All exposed food must be discarded. Equipment needs thorough cleaning. The system itself requires professional recharging. This can mean hours, or even days, of lost revenue, affecting staff wages, customer satisfaction, and your bottom line.

• Contamination & Compliance: Health and safety regulations will likely require strict adherence to cleaning protocols before you can reopen, and discarded inventory can be substantial.

  
  

These are the consequences of addressing a small fire with a big system.

The Apron Advantage: Fast, Clean, and Continuously Open

Our specially designed extinguishing apron offers a revolutionary first line of defence for those common, smaller pan and grill fires, providing a stark contrast to the aftermath of an ANSUL discharge:

1. Rapid, Targeted Extinguishing (Under 3 Seconds): Unlike a fire blanket that needs to be located and unwrapped, our apron is always on your body, ready to deploy instantly. For a small pan or grill fire, its integrated extinguishing capability allows for incredibly fast application, putting out flames before they can spread. Firefighters agree: the ability to extinguish fires quickly is paramount.

2. Minimal to Zero Mess: This is perhaps the most significant benefit. For a small, contained fire, the apron works directly at the source, preventing the widespread chemical dispersion of a system discharge. When the fire is out, you're looking at wiping down the immediate area, not an entire kitchen overhaul.

3. Maximum Productivity & Minimal Downtime: Because there's no extensive mess, no system recharge, and no widespread contamination, your kitchen can often resume operations almost immediately after a minor incident. This means no lost revenue, no frustrated customers, and your team can get back to what they do best.

4. Simple Replacement, Continuous Readiness: Once used on a fire, the apron can be easily replaced. There's no complex system to reset, no technicians to wait for. Your team remains equipped and ready for the next shift.
