Hydraulic rooms, generators, industrial processing plant and heavy fixed machinery face fire risks that are just as serious as mobile equipment, but often harder to evacuate from and more expensive to replace. MusterFire provides automatic detection and suppression for industrial plant environments, engineered for the specific conditions and fuel loads of each installation.
Trusted Protection for Mobile Equipment and Fixed Plant
When a fire starts on your machine, there is no time to wonder whether your suppression system will work. Muster systems are engineered to remove that doubt entirely. Built to Australian Standards, deployed across mining, agriculture, construction and transport operations worldwide, and backed by a global network of authorised distributors, Muster delivers protection you can count on, every shift, every site, every machine.
Quality Assured
Muster systems are certified to AS 5062:2022, meeting the compliance requirements of Australia's most demanding industries. Built to the highest standards. Reliable when it matters most.
System Support
From risk assessment and system design through to installation, maintenance and training, our expert distributor network provides end-to-end support. Rapid, reliable, and always compliant.
Innovative Solutions
Continuously evolving to meet the demands of modern heavy industry, from autonomous vehicles to electric fleets.
Sustainability
Our suppression agents are fluorine-free and environmentally responsible. Muster systems are designed with ecological impact in mind, meeting global environmental protection standards without compromising on performance.
Purpose-built for hydraulic rooms and generator enclosures. F3 foam smothers pressurised fluid fires and creates a re-ignition-resistant blanket over fuel surfaces.
Fine water-foam mist for CNC environments and machine centres using cutting oils. Effective fire suppression with reduced water discharge, lower flooding risk, and easier post-discharge recovery.
Total-flooding fire suppression for electrical switch rooms using a waterless and powder-free aerosol system. Designed for rapid discharge while minimising contamination, clean-up requirements, and collateral damage to sensitive equipment.
Rapid dry chemical fire knockdown for selected Class A and Class B risks in open industrial plant areas. The self-generating IPS unit discharges a protective powder cloud on activation, with a compact design suited to retrofit installation in existing plant.
ABE, CO2 and foam extinguishers for industrial plant walkways and access areas. Mandatory supplementary layer alongside all installed automatic systems.

Industrial Fire Risk: What Makes It Different
Industrial Fire Risk: What Makes It Different
Industrial fire suppression presents different design challenges from mobile equipment. Hydraulic rooms contain large volumes of fluid under pressure in a confined space. Generator sets burn diesel continuously in enclosures that concentrate heat. Processing plant often runs 24/7 with minimal human presence outside operating hours. These conditions require detection systems that respond to heat without relying on operator observation.
Applications We Protect
Applications We Protect
Hydraulic Rooms
High-pressure hydraulic systems in enclosed rooms create serious fire risk. Pipe ruptures under pressure can spray fluid onto hot surfaces, creating spray-fire or flash-fire hazards. MusterFire foam-based systems can be configured for hydraulic room protection where combustible fluid risks are present.
Diesel Generators
Diesel generators often operate continuously in remote or unattended locations. MusterFire foam-based systems, with optional SAG integration where suitable, can help protect generator enclosures from fuel-related fires and associated ignition risks.
Processing Plant
Conveyor systems, crushers, and processing plant can benefit from zone-based fire suppression designed to control a fire at the affected section and help reduce disruption to the wider operation.
Electrical Switchrooms
Muster SAG systems are suitable for electrical switch room applications, providing rapid fire suppression without water or dry chemical powder discharge. This helps minimise contamination, clean-up requirements, and collateral damage to electrical equipment.
Compressor Stations
Gas and hydraulic compressor stations can present elevated fire risks due to pressurised fluids, hot surfaces, and electrical equipment. MusterFire systems can be engineered for these environments with suitable detection and rapid-discharge actuation.
CNC and Machine Shops
CNC machinery using cutting oils, hydraulic fluids, and fluid-cooled tooling presents a specific fire risk profile. MusterFire misting systems provide effective fire suppression while reducing the collateral damage and clean-up associated with dry powder agents.
Protect Your Industrial Plant
From hydraulic rooms to generator sets to processing plant, MusterFire has a certified system for your application. Start with a risk assessment and let the data drive the specification.
What fire suppression system is best for a hydraulic room?
MusterFire foam-based systems are the standard recommendation for hydraulic rooms. The foam agent creates a blanket over ignited fluid and resists re-ignition from residual heat on pipe surfaces and equipment.
Can fire suppression be fitted to an existing generator set?
Yes. MusterFire systems are regularly retrofitted to existing generator enclosures. The Muster360 design process accounts for the specific enclosure dimensions, fuel load, exhaust routing and electrical component locations.
Will a fire suppression discharge damage my industrial equipment?
Each system is selected to suit the equipment and minimise collateral damage. SAG systems provide waterless, powder-free suppression for electrical areas. Misting systems reduce water discharge compared with sprinklers, and foam-based systems can be zoned to discharge only where protection is required.
What standards apply to fixed industrial fire suppression systems?
Fixed industrial suppression systems are governed by the National Construction Code, Australian Standards and the specific standard for the system type: AS 5062 for mobile and transportable equipment, AS 4487 for solid aerosol systems.
Can MusterFire systems integrate with existing site fire alarm systems?
Yes. MusterFire alarm panels have relay outputs that can interface with existing building fire alarm and management systems, allowing a single activation signal to trigger both local suppression and site-wide fire alarm simultaneously.
What is the maintenance requirement for fixed industrial systems?
Fixed industrial fire suppression systems require periodic inspection (typically six-monthly) and annual service by an authorised MusterFire technician.
How do I know which system type is right for my application?
A MusterFire fire risk assessment determines the appropriate system type based on the specific ignition hazards, fuel loads, enclosed volume and personnel exposure in your application. System type follows directly from the assessed hazard profile.
How long does a hydraulic room installation take?
A standard hydraulic room installation by a MusterFire authorised distributor typically takes one to two days, including commissioning and testing.
Does MusterFire install systems in remote industrial locations?
Yes. MusterFire's authorised distributor network covers regional and remote industrial locations across Australia, and international installations are supported through MusterFire's global distributor network.
