Enhanced Fire Safety

Built-in protection for greater peace of mind

Technology

Automatic protection, 24 hours a day

Vending machines are designed to operate for long periods of time, often in busy environments and sometimes without constant supervision.

Our Enhanced Fire Safety Technology provides an additional layer of protection by installing an automatic fire suppression system directly inside the machine.

Designed to react at the source of a potential fire, the system operates independently and requires no human intervention, helping to protect the machine, surrounding environment and people nearby.

How it works

  1. 01

    01. Heat is detected

    If excessive heat develops within the vending machine enclosure, the suppression system responds to the rising temperature.

  2. 02

    02. Automatic activation

    The fire suppression device activates automatically. No external electricity, manual operation or human intervention is required.

  3. 03

    03. Fire-suppressing aerosol is released

    A potassium-based aerosol is released into the enclosed cabinet and distributed around the affected area.

  4. 04

    04. The fire reaction is interrupted

    The potassium compounds act on the chemical chain reaction involved in combustion, helping prevent the fire from continuing to develop.

  5. 05

    05. The fire is suppressed

    By responding within the machine enclosure, the system helps suppress the fire at source before it has the opportunity to spread further.

Part of a wider approach to vending safety

Enhanced fire suppression does not sit in isolation. RSL combines the technology with our wider approach to electrical safety, servicing and preventative maintenance.

  • Electrical Protection

    Circuit and fuse protection helps reduce risk if an electrical fault occurs.

  • PAT Testing

    Routine testing provides documented electrical safety assurance.

  • Preventative Maintenance

    Regular servicing helps identify worn parts, wiring issues and potential faults early.

  • Internal Inspections

    Engineers check key components and connections during scheduled visits.

  • Component Replacement

    Worn or damaged parts can be replaced before they become a bigger issue.
