The firespy Kitchens is Protecfire’s VdS-approved automatic fire suppression system, purpose-engineered for the unique fire risks of commercial kitchens, restaurants, hotels, food courts, canteens and industrial food production facilities. Designed to protect deep fryers, cooklines, woks, grills, hoods and ductwork, the system combines our patented detection technology with a specialised wet-chemical extinguishing agent that delivers rapid flame knockdown, powerful cooling and a protective film over hot oils and fats to prevent dangerous re-ignition. Fully mechanical with no electricity required, simple to install above existing equipment, and built for low maintenance and long-term reliability, firespy Kitchens keeps staff, customers and premises safe — engineered in Germany and certified to the highest European standard for cooking-appliance fire protection.

Every Raptor Powder system is made up of purpose-engineered components, each designed for durability, reliability, and fast installation. From detection to discharge, here’s what makes the system work.
In the design of the extinguishing concept, the focus is not on protecting the kitchen as an area but instead on protecting individual objects. In Kitchens, the following critical points are to be protected:
Fires can thus be detected quickly and efficiently so that a spread of the fire source is prevented in the initial phase.
TiboRex Absolute is a ready-to-use liquid special extinguishing agent without the addition of fluorochemicals for the highly effective extinguishing of solid fires (fire class A), liquids, non-polar hydrocarbons (fire class B) and edible fats and oils. The special formulation, whose main components are also used as food additives, guarantees exceptional extinguishing performance with unprecedented environmental protection.
The fire-suppression system is based on the principle of a fine spray extinguishing system.
The protecfire nozzles spray the extinguishing agent as very fine droplets.
The extinguishing agent droplets wet, impregnated and cool the burning surfaces.
Through reflections and turbulence, the extinguishing agent also reaches adjacent areas, which enables the entire engine compartment to be protected.
protecfire uses thermo-pneumatic fire detection elements to detect fire. These elements only trigger the fire-suppression system if a specified temperature is exceeded. Failure due to the failure of electrical components is thus ruled out.
Fire detection elements with different triggering temperatures can be used because the engine compartment is not a thermally homogeneous area, but contains different temperature zones.
The fire detection elements are connected to a combined control and extinguishing line, the detexline. When a fire detection element is heated to its trigger temperature, a mechanism opens the built-in argon propellant cartridge. This causes an increase in pressure in the line. The pressure increase opens an N2 propellant cartridge in the extinguishing agent container. The released propellant presses the extinguishing agent through the line to the extinguishing nozzles.
No. Our system is accurate and detects temperatures with precision. Depending on where the thermal sensors are placed, a specific temperature is chosen. Usually it is out of the reach of a flame momentarily caused by a cook to flambé for example, it needs temperatures previously chosen, in the chosen place.
No. Our kitchen nozzles are designed to stay clean and unobstructed. They are designed specifically for food areas, maintaining their appearance and cleanliness during their useful life.
The system is free of dangers and easy to install. It can be installed in any restaurant kitchen, food area, production, food factory.
The thermal detectors are placed in the upper area of the engine, in order to detect unusual heatOn top of risk areas, such as extraction sites. The nozzles and detectors are installed in the extraction heater, discreetly. They are distributed in such a way that equipment can be moved around, maintaining the freedom of kitchen layout. In the case of linear food production machines, it is placed in the hood immediately above the fats and heat zone. The entire system is distributed along simple stainless steel tubing. accumulations, through temperatures previously chosen, normally our Kit for buses comes with 180ºC in the detection. In areas such as Park compartment, another lower temperature can be chosen, such as 130ºC. The dispersion nozzles are aimed at critical areas of the engine, such as turbo, exhaust, etc. This distribution makes point-to-point efficacy during extinction.
You can protect only one fryer for example, as our system is modular and grows as needed. However, in our projects, we always recommend the full coverage of the burning and extraction zones.
TiboRex Absolute is a liquid extinguishing agent, in order to be safe and effective. Electrical components may be damaged, although when the system trips the electricity is cut off automatically. All other equipment is never affected and subsequent cleaning is quick and easy. Other types of extinguishing agents would not be as effective or safe.
No. Depending on the size of the kitchen, but for example a 5×1 meter linear hotel, it takes about 3 hours to install. The system is easy to assemble and disassemble.
