Safety first

Nobel has extensive experience in the provision of fire suppression solutions for the machine tool industry where end users continue to demand tighter tolerances, faster deliveries, and lower costs. Existing customers include Star Micronics, Citizen Machinery UK, LNS Turbo, Mori Seiki and Matsuura Machinery.

Nobel's Stat-X fire suppression system is based on aerosol technology developed in the space programme. The Stat-X family of fire suppression systems is a patented potassium-based aerosol that suppresses fire by chemically ‘interfering' with the fire. In the event of a fire, Stat-X generators can be activated either manually or automatically and on activation, the generators produce an effective, ultra-fine, potassium based aerosol.

Stat-X aerosol generators are cost effective to install and maintain as they don't require the pressure vessels, piping or installation costs associated with other extinguishing systems. Space and weight requirements are minimal which makes the task of fitting the system an easy and viable option. On an agent weight basis, Stat-X aerosol is said to be ten times more effective than gaseous agent alternatives. Fire suppression is rapidly achieved through interference between the ultra-fine aerosol particulate and the flame's free radicals – terminating propagation of the fire. Ecologically safe, UL approved and with zero ozone depletion, Stat-X aerosol generators are virtually maintenance free and have a shelf life of over 10 years.

Nobel's commercial director Ben Parker comments: “We have vast experience in the provision of fire suppression solutions for the machine tool industry and see MACH 2010 as an ideal platform on which to inform the industry not only about our range of fire suppression products, but also how our installation specialists work with each customer to provide a tailored solution.”
