Ansul R-102 kitchen fire suppression

The Ansul R-102 is one of the world’s leading kitchen fire suppression systems and is widely specified by insurers for commercial cooking environments. Designed specifically for cooking oil and grease fires, the system provides rapid automatic fire suppression to help protect people, property, and business continuity.

The system can provide protection for:

By protecting both cooking appliances and extraction systems, the Ansul R-102 provides comprehensive fire protection throughout the entire kitchen environment.

When a fire is detected, the Ansul R-102 system automatically discharges Ansulex Low pH liquid fire suppressant through strategically positioned nozzles.

The suppressant rapidly cools burning oils and grease while creating a soap-like layer over the fuel surface. This helps prevent re-ignition, suppresses the fire quickly, and significantly reduces the risk of fire spreading throughout the kitchen and extraction system.

The system can also be activated manually in the event of an emergency.

Argos Fire Protection provides a complete turnkey solution, including:

  • Site surveys and system design
  • New system installations
  • System upgrades and modifications
  • Commissioning and certification
  • Planned servicing and maintenance
  • System recharge following activation
  • Emergency call-out support

We install and maintain Ansul systems for national restaurant chains, healthcare facilities, educational establishments, hotels, and independent commercial kitchens across the UK.

If your kitchen uses commercial cooking equipment, particularly deep fat fryers, a fixed fire suppression system may be required by your insurer, fire risk assessment, or company safety procedures. Fixed suppression systems are recommended where portable extinguishers alone may not provide adequate protection for larger cooking risks.

Our team can advise on the most appropriate solution for your kitchen and provide a free, no-obligation survey.
