Our sprinkler systems provide fire protection tailored to your needs.
 Sprinkler systems are self-acting fire extinguishing systems having an uncomplicated as well a safe functioning principle. A network of piping and sprinkler heads is installed throughout the areas of the building requiring protection and is constantly under pressure. Under normal conditions the sprinkler head is closed off by a liquid-filled bulb. If due to the effects of a fire, the ambient temperature in the immediate vicinity rises by approximately 30 °C above the maximum temperature expected under normal conditions, the glass bulb bursts. The pressurized extinguishing water then flows through the piping into the sprinkler head and the resulting water jet hits the spray plate which diverts the spray to the areas to be covered. At the same time the water flow in the piping network trips the alarm systems. When the fire is extinguished you replace the sprinkler that was activated and the system is ready for operation again.

Types of system
The wet system is by far the most common type of system and is constantly filled with water under pressure. When the sprinkler bulbs burst the water flows out immediately and continues to flow until the supply is shut down again.
 The dry system is specially designed for areas where there is a danger of frost. The sprinkler piping network in the critical areas is not filled with water but, downstream of the dry alarm valve, with compressed air.
Our pre-controlled dry system forms a combined fire alarm and sprinkler system. This prevents water discharge due to inadvertent damage to the sprinkler head. In order for extinguishing water to be discharged, the fire alarm system must also have been activated.
