Restaurant kitchens pose acute fire risks, with multiple appliances at high temperature and flammable oils. High pressure water mist is the fastest, safest solution for cooking fat and electrical fires – and without the disruption caused by chemical-based fire systems.
Fire tests carried out in the presence of insurers show that Hydramist water mist solutions extinguish fires in professional ovens and fryers within 40 seconds.

Functionality of Hydramist Water Mist Systems in Professional Kitchens
Hydramist water mist systems in restaurant kitchens are powered by a small wall-mounted pump unit, connected via a small stainless steel pipe, to water mist nozzles positioned near cooking equipment. These nozzles are automatically triggered by pre-defined temperature thresholds or can be activated by flame or smoke detection.
If a fire occurs, the nozzles emit a fine mist that rapidly cools surfaces, suppresses the fire, and reduces smoke spread. Unlike chemical-based fire protection systems that can lead to several days of kitchen downtime, Hydramist works quickly and utilizes minimal water, ensuring your kitchen can get back to business in minutes.
