Commercial kitchens are high-risk environments where fires can escalate quickly if not dealt with immediately. With high temperatures, open flames, oils, and electrical appliances all in close proximity, the risk of ignition is significant.
At Astro Fire Systems, we install and maintain certified kitchen fire suppression systems built to respond rapidly and effectively, minimising risk to your business, your team, and your customers.
Kitchen fires account for a notable percentage of non-residential fires and injuries. Common causes include:
Our KitchenGuard systems are engineered to automatically detect and suppress fires at the source, delivering unmatched safety and peace of mind. This solution is certified to LPCB LPS1223, a recognised standard for fixed fire suppression in commercial catering.
KitchenGuard uses a pressurised linear detection tube installed discreetly in high-risk zones such as over hobs, fryers, ovens, extract canopies, and ductwork. When exposed to flame or heat, the tube bursts at the hottest point, releasing pressure and activating the system.
This opens the system’s valve, releasing a biodegradable wet chemical extinguishant through stainless steel pipework and nozzles, directly targeting cooking appliances and extraction ducts.
System features:
KitchenGuard is robustly engineered for the demanding kitchen environment:
Whether you run a café, restaurant, hotel, or large-scale catering operation, KitchenGuard can be configured to meet your needs, offering both appliance-specific and zonal protection.
The KitchenGuard system uses a biodegradable wet chemical extinguishant, making it a safer and more environmentally responsible choice. It operates by saponification turning hot cooking oils into a soapy, non-flammable substance that cools and suppresses flames while preventing re-ignition.
This agent is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and can even be used as a cleaning aid for residue and grease.
KitchenGuard is available in pre-engineered modular kits:
Multiple modules can be linked together for larger kitchens. The modular design also supports future expansion, making system updates simple and cost-effective.
