Commercial Ember Protection

Protect your commercial assets with the latest ember protection system, designed to protect your business from ember attack in the event of a bushfire or wildfire.

Protect your commercial assets with the latest ember sprinkler system

Professional installation of the Platypus Sprinkler system ensures maximum commercial asset ember protection.

The system sprays water onto the asset requiring protection and also provides a curtain effect surrounding the asset structure and ground. Installing commercial fire sprinklers on decking handrails, perimeter fences and any other areas at risk of debris build up is also wise. Solar panels can also be an area where debris can build up, consider additional Platypus sprinklers for these areas.

Availability of water during the bushfire season is normally limited. Our sprinkler is the sensible commercial fire protection solution because it minimises water usage but maximises the effect of water usage.

Unlike other commercial fire protection sprinklers on the market, tests clearly show water sprayed from the Platypus Sprinkler head is less wind affected because of water droplet size and the downward direction of water spray.

A standard fire pump typically operates 25 of the 2.5mm Platypus Sprinklers.  An operating pressure of 250-300kPa is recommended to ensure maximum droplet size. Commercial installations may opt for a higher rate pump, allowing for more sprinklers. Automatic start-up systems can also be added to allow for unmanned operation and protection of the asset.
