AMEREX Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression System, UL Listed

The Amerex STRIKE Control Unit is the result of years of rugged mining, transit and military electronic evolution. Specifically designed to work with the Amerex KP Fire Suppression System, the STRIKE Control Unit is able to monitor and release two completely separate hood systems, and it can be tied into auxiliary controls such as the building’s alarm system. Primary and secondary batteries provide continuous, uninterrupted fire detection and fire suppression system actuation without the need for an external power supply. Unlike traditional control mechanisms, the STRIKE Control Unit utilizes Linear Heat Detectors and Spot Heat Detectors that have no moving parts are fully supervised, minimizing the negative effects of grease build-up.

Appliance-specific coverage that typically offers lower initial cost.

The KP system is ideal for uses where appliance location is fixed such as in fast food chains, casual dining, cruise ships and school cafeterias. The KP System uses individual “Dedicated Appliance Protection” for each appliance under the hood requiring protection. A choice of the fire detection method may be a standard thermal link network or one of the two linear detection networks. (PRM or Linear Fusible Link).

ZD Restaurant Fire Suppression System
The ZD system is ideal for fine dining, culinary schools, military facilities, hotels and hospitals. Zone Defense System was developed for the kitchen that changes out it’s cooking appliances frequently to accommodate the change in menu or cooks.

The ZD System provides a detection system and protection system which allows for the moving and rearranging of appliances without changing the fire suppression piping or detection device locations.
This is accomplished by using a detection network that will detect a fire no matter where it occurs under the hood and will extinguish cooking appliances located anywhere under the hood, as long as they are inside the “Zone of Protection”.
