      How Our Misting Systems Work

      Automist® takes a smarter approach to fire suppression than traditional sprinkler systems. Using precision detection and directional mist, it identifies and tackles fires quickly, reducing both risk and the secondary damage caused by water.

      1. In the event of a fire, the system is triggered automatically by a ceiling mounted detector.

      2. Automist®'s sprayheads will scan the room to look for temperature changes indicating a fire.

      3. If danger is detected, the sprayhead best positioned to tackle it targets it with watermist.

      4. Watermist removes heat, suppressing the fire while minimising water damage to the building.
