This document discusses the importance of having a fire suppression system and describes how Vandlovu's system works. The system uses stored pressure powder always fluidized in nitrogen to prevent compaction. It has pressure indicators, pneumatic actuators, and hoses that self-monitor. The dry chemical powder is effective against liquid, solid, and electrical fires. Regular maintenance by trained technicians is recommended to ensure proper operation and protect assets.

4. Failure of actuator; hosing or pressure indicators will become instantly
detectable
5. Monthly visual checks of hosing; system and test purge with air showing
operation system
6. Full automatic operation utilizing fire detection tubing 100 degrees Celcius
rating activates the fire suppresson system at hazardous areas, such as;
Turbo, Hydraulics, Transmission, Engine block location

7. Our technicians all undergo in-house
training to ensure they are all qualified and
fit to maintain and install vehicle fire
suppression systems.
It is crucial that the technicians comply with
the standards of installation and
maintenance.
Our training centre is based in our Johannesburg
branch and keeps the technicians up to date.
Offering training to individuals outside as well.

9. An important after servicing is essential. We highly
recommend that services take place every 3 months on
a regular basis, thus ensuring full operation of the
suppression system and protecting the assets of the
company and maintaining a high business relation
with the client
