Eclipse™ fire suppression for loaders

From diesel fuels to hydraulic fluids, heavy equipment depends on flammable liquids to keep moving. The dangers associated with underground mine fires are multifaceted, often leading to devastating consequences. These fires can produce toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide, which can cause respiratory failure and even death. In addition, , the intense heat generated by these fires can lead to the collapse of mine structures, trapping miners and hindering rescue efforts.
Sandvik Eclipse™ is a crucial component of your safety management system to protect people, investments and equipment. Sandvik Eclipse™ fire suppression systems are designed and tested to meet the most stringent requirements of fire protection on mobile and transportable equipment, including underground Loaders applications.

Compared to traditional dry powder systems, Eclipse™ is up to 30 percent more effective on super-heated surfaces. Our Sandvik system is equipped with liquid agents to attack all the elements a fire needs to ignite - heat, fuel and oxygen (fire triangle).

Automatic activation is a standard feature and the rapid cooling effect blocks the risk of re-ignition. The engine is also automatically shut-down.
The system is very efficient to service and maintain and can be installed on new or existing equipment - regardless of size or brand.

Sandvik Eclipse™ It is available in two versions to suit global application:
Sandvik Eclipse™ Sustain is suitable for climates 0°C to + 60°C. The tank contains foam concentrate and water solution. The mixture is fluorine free making it environmentally sustainable.

Sandvik Eclipse™ Extreme is suitable for climates - 40°C to + 60°C. The tank contains a pre-mixed liquid agent for the harshest of environments.
The reliable automatic activation concept and system hardware remains identical between Eclipse™ Sustain and Eclipse™ Extreme.

Eclipse™ is a smart way to reduce the risk of injuries, production loss, costly repairs and replacements. Design flexibility and a range of different tank sizes make it possible to install Eclipse™ on a wide range of mobile plants and equipment.
