Continuous Flow Suppression | Wastech Engineering

Overview

The FM Approved Continuous Flow System (CFS) is a fixed, facility-wide suppression and monitoring solution tailored to operations with conveyors, chutes, and processing lines.

Using thermal imaging, flame detection, and live video, it detects hot spots and incipient fires in real time, allowing Fire Rover’s monitoring team to remotely trigger precision foam or water suppression at exact risk points.

The CFS is engineered to protect high-volume, continuous operations such as MRFs, waste-to-energy plants, and recycling centers, where fire risks can escalate rapidly if unchecked. By integrating with existing infrastructure, it provides comprehensive coverage without disrupting material flow.
