AFEX highlights new liquid agent and compact fire suppression system at MINExpo 2024

AFEX Fire Suppression Systems will introduce new solutions at MINExpo INTERNATIONAL. MINExpo is the industry's largest global mining event showcasing technologies and emerging industry trends. The AFEX fire suppression system will also be featured on several machines across the show floor.

AFEX specializes in supplying fire suppression systems for the heavy equipment used in the mining industry. While they are a trusted supplier to many mines, AFEX continues to emphasize innovation and improvement. As such, AFEX is pleased to release the following solutions at MINExpo 2024:

• The SAFE-X liquid agent. AFEX's new liquid agent meets the AS 5062 benchmark for fluorine-free agents and has shown in testing to mitigate equipment fires 4x faster than the company's previous wet agent.
• The compact UG mining system. Designed specifically for compact underground mining machines with limited installation space, this new 1.5-gallon tank deploys SAFE-X liquid agent to safeguard operators against fire risks.
• Meets both updated FM approvals and ActivFire standards. AFEX fire suppression systems were tested and verified to conform to the latest FM 5970 HDME and AS 5062 standards.

AFEX is also hosting a hunt-and-find challenge at MINExpo 2024. Explore the show floor and locate an AFEX logo – whether it's on a fire suppression system installed on equipment, a backpack, a shirt, or the AFEX booth. When you spot one, take a selfie with it and post it on LinkedIn with the hashtag #AFEXatMINExpo. Every participant will be entered for a chance to win AFEX gear and a $500 gift card. The winner will be announced on LinkedIn by October 4.
