Buckeye Kitchen Mister
Concept Fire Suppression Ltd Restaurant Kitchen Fire Suppression System by Buckeye uses a wet Chemical Agent called Kitchen Mister which ensures hot fat fires can be quickly suppressed within your kitchen. The Kitchen Mister agent is discharged over all the appliances and the filter plenum and extraction ducts. Appliances such as Hot Plates, Deep Fat Fryers and Grills all require protecting.
Because of the harsh conditions that kitchens operate under constantly heating up and cooling down as well as the presence of hot fat, Kitchen Mister uses Fusible Links which must be replaced every 6 months during routine maintenance visits. A fusible link is the most reliable way to operate systems within kitchens as they are not susceptible to false alarms etc.
Buckeye Kitchen Mister Systems comply with NFPA-17A Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems and NFPA-96 Standard for the Installation for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment. As well as complying with the two NFPA Standards Kitchen Mister has also been tested by UL using the Standard UL300, Fire Extinguishing Systems for the Protection of Restaurant Cooking Areas as wells as LPCB’s LPS1223 for Fire Extinguishing Systems for Catering Equipment. This ensures the system has been rigorously tested by an independent third party.
