Advanced fire suppression systems for critical infrastructure — engineered by Pri-Safety, deployed on the ground by Universal Mining Equipment Ltd. We bridge world-class engineering with the brutal realities of your local operating environment.
Fire never plays fair. Our architecture matches the threat — clean gas for sensitive electronics, foam for volatile escalation, mist for industrial heat. Engineered, certified, deployed.
Data Centre · Protected
Zero-damage total flooding for sensitive electronics. Engineered for data centres, medical facilities and petrochemical control rooms.
First Response · 0:30
Rapid-response containment for fast-growing chemical and fuel fires. The bridge between ignition and professional fire response.
Mining · Industrial
Heavy-duty, modular heat extraction for industrial machinery, mining and continuous-operation environments. Built for brutal realities.
Each system is matched to a specific failure mode. Below is exactly what each does — and what it doesn't.
Dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one. A total flooding automatic suppression agent engineered for absolute preservation of active circuitry. 100% non-conductive, zero residue, sustainable Halon 1301 substitute.
Compressed Air Foam Systems engineered for the escalation gap. Immediate, suffocating containment of petrol, chemical and fuel fires — without requiring specialised firefighter training.
Extreme mechanical pressure fractures water into micro-droplets — increasing surface area exponentially to absorb and extract massive thermal energy. Non-conductive across automated belts.
The threat vector is not the fire — it is the response. Water and foam guarantee hardware ruin and data loss. FK-5112 is the protocol when downtime is not an option.
UMEL · Field Deployment
FK-5112 discharges as an inert vapour. It reaches a 4.5% extinguish concentration in seconds, smothers the oxygen envelope, and leaves no liquid behind. Active circuitry continues to run.
It is safe at twice the design point (NOAEL @ 10%), GWP equals 1, ODP equals 0 — the sustainable Halon substitute for occupied operational spaces.
The ultimate Halon 1301 substitute.
Zero residue post-discharge. Active circuitry remains safe.
Safe for highly occupied operational spaces.
Dramatically reduces critical infrastructure downtime.
Fire intensity spikes exponentially. CAFS holds the line until municipal response arrives to a contained scene — not a structural loss.
A two-tier partnership. Pri-Safety designs and certifies. UMEL adapts, deploys and remains accountable on the ground.
