Pump Skid and Pump

In industrial and commercial applications, fluid transfer systems must be reliable, robust, and engineered to perform under pressure. Whether you’re managing water, chemicals, fuel, or slurry, combining the right pump with a well-designed pump skid is critical to performance and uptime.

At MultiTorque, we specialise in designing, fabricating, and supplying pump skid and pump systems across Australia. Our modular, site-ready units are built for mining, construction, agriculture, and more—backed by over 15 years of real-world expertise.


🔧 What is a Pump Skid and Pump System?

A pump is the mechanical device that moves fluid from one point to another. A pump skid is the complete, self-contained platform on which that pump—and its related equipment—is mounted.

When you combine the two, you get a pump skid and pump system that’s:

  • Fully integrated
  • Engineered for your specific application
  • Transportable, installable, and serviceable with ease

Rather than piecing together loose components on site, a pump skid system arrives pre-assembled, pressure tested, and ready to plug in.

Kitchen Fire Suppression System

In fast-paced commercial kitchens, where heat, oil, and open flames collide daily, a fire can ignite in just seconds. A kitchen fire suppression system is your first—and often only—line of defence against catastrophic damage, business disruption, or injury.

At Flexco, we’ve been supplying and sourcing parts for commercial kitchen fire systems for over 30 years. From fire contractors to facility managers and restaurant owners, clients across Australia rely on us for reliable, compliant components that ensure their systems stay ready 24/7.


🍳 What Is a Kitchen Fire Suppression System?

A kitchen fire suppression system is a pre-engineered fire protection setup designed to detect and suppress fires in commercial cooking environments automatically. It uses wet chemical agents to:

  • Quickly suppress flames
  • Cool hot surfaces
  • Form a vapour-sealing barrier over flammable liquids (like oils and grease)

The system typically covers:

  • Deep fryers
  • Grills
  • Cooktops
  • Range hoods
  • Exhaust ducts

When fire is detected—either via fusible links, heat sensors, or a manual pull station—the system instantly discharges the agent and shuts down fuel or electrical supply to prevent reignition.


🧩 Components of a Kitchen Fire Suppression System

At Flexco, we provide the essential components that make up a functional and compliant system:


✅ 1. Wet Chemical Agent Cylinder

The heart of the system. Stores and dispenses fire suppression liquid, typically potassium acetate, known for knocking down grease fires fast.


✅ 2. Detection System

  • Fusible Links: Heat-sensitive metal links that break at preset temperatures
  • Detection Cable: Mounted across hood areas and ducting to sense heat rise
  • Manual Pull Stations: Wall-mounted triggers for emergency manual discharge

✅ 3. Discharge Nozzles

Nozzles are strategically mounted over cooktops, fryers, and hoods. Flexco supplies various nozzle types based on system brand and appliance layout.


✅ 4. System Control Components

  • Actuation Mechanism
  • Release Module
  • Pressure Switch
  • Electrical Interlock to shut off gas or electricity to appliances

✅ 5. Pipework, Tubing, and Brackets

All hardware for installation and secure mounting of system components.


⚖️ Compliance Matters: AS3772 and AS1851

Kitchen fire suppression systems in Australia must meet strict fire codes, including:

  • AS3772 – Pre-engineered fire suppression systems for commercial kitchens
  • AS1851 – Routine servicing of fire protection systems

Systems must also be:

  • Installed by licensed professionals
  • Maintained at 6-month and annual intervals
  • Tested after activation or environmental wear

Flexco ensures all parts we supply are compliant with relevant Australian and international standards.


🛠️ Replacement Parts for System Servicing

Fire system servicing often requires component replacement. We help contractors and service teams source:

  • New fusible links and detection cables
  • Replacement nozzles

Don’t waste time chasing parts across suppliers. Flexco can build full replacement kits to match the system on-site—fast, accurate, and ready to install.


🔥 Why Fire Suppression in Kitchens Is Crucial

The kitchen is the most common origin point of fires in commercial premises. Without a suppression system, a grease or stovetop fire can:

  • Destroy cooking equipment and ventilation systems
  • Trigger smoke damage throughout the premises
  • Endanger staff and customers
  • Lead to closure, fines, or insurance breaches

A kitchen fire suppression system:

  • Responds instantly to high temperatures
  • Releases agent directly where fire is burning
  • Prevents reflash with chemical residue seal
  • Integrates with alarm and fuel shutoff systems

Installing or maintaining this system isn’t just smart—it’s often legally required.

MSHA Hose

In high-risk environments like underground mines, quarries, and heavy machinery operations, safety is non-negotiable. Equipment must not only perform under extreme conditions—it must also meet strict safety standards to minimise fire hazards and protect workers. That’s where MSHA hose comes in.

MSHA-approved hoses are designed and tested to meet the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards for flame resistance and safety, and they’re widely used across mining and industrial operations here in Australia. Whether you’re replacing hydraulic lines on a drill rig or retrofitting a suppression system in a haul truck, using the right MSHA-compliant hose is critical.

At Flexco, we’ve spent over 30 years supplying hose and fire suppression components to Australia’s mining, civil, and industrial sectors. We specialise in sourcing MSHA-approved hose assemblies that meet the demands of harsh environments and tough compliance frameworks.


🔍 What Is an MSHA Hose?

An MSHA hose is a hose that has been tested and approved by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for use in hazardous environments—particularly those with elevated fire risks, like underground coal mines or enclosed mobile equipment.

To be MSHA-approved, a hose must pass stringent flame-resistance testing to ensure it won’t propagate flame or add fuel to a fire. These hoses are typically used in:

  • Hydraulic systems on mining and earthmoving equipment
  • Fuel and lubricant lines
  • Air and water transfer
  • Fire suppression systems
  • Power packs and plant equipment

If your equipment operates in an MSHA-regulated zone—or anywhere with high ignition risk—using non-approved hoses is not just a safety hazard, it’s a compliance breach.


🛡️ Why MSHA Compliance Matters

Fire is one of the most catastrophic risks in mining and industrial operations. Using MSHA-approved hoses reduces the risk of fire by:

  • Limiting flame spread
  • Minimising toxic smoke
  • Improving system integrity in emergencies

Compliance with MSHA also makes it easier to satisfy local standards such as:

  • AS5062 – Fire protection for mobile and transportable equipment
  • AS1940 – The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids
  • ISO and SAE standards related to hydraulic and pneumatic systems

At Flexco, we help our clients select and source hoses that meet these Australian and international requirements.


🧰 Key Features of MSHA Hoses

Not all hoses are created equal. MSHA hoses have been engineered for safety and durability in extreme conditions. Key features include:


🔥 Flame Resistance

These hoses are tested under direct flame to ensure they self-extinguish and do not propagate fire. This makes them safe for use in underground or enclosed environments.


🪨 Abrasion Resistance

Mining and heavy industry environments are rough on gear. MSHA hoses typically feature abrasion-resistant outer covers to extend service life.


⚙️ High Pressure Ratings

Whether used in hydraulic systems or high-volume fluid transfer, MSHA hoses can handle demanding pressure requirements.


🌡️ Temperature Range

Built to operate in wide temperature extremes—important for both underground and open-cut sites across Australia.


🧪 Chemical Compatibility

Hoses are often exposed to fuels, oils, greases, and fire suppression agents. MSHA hoses are engineered to resist chemical breakdown.


🏗️ Common Applications for MSHA Hose

Flexco supports clients across Australia with MSHA hoses in the following areas:


🛻 1. Mobile Equipment Fire Suppression

Vehicles such as excavators, dump trucks, loaders, and dozers are often fitted with dry chemical or foam suppression systems. MSHA hoses ensure the lines that carry these agents won’t fail during a fire.


🚜 2. Hydraulic Equipment

Hydraulic lines running on drills, crushers, and longwall machines must be flame-resistant. MSHA hoses reduce risk in case of rupture near hot surfaces or sparks.


🧯 3. Fixed Fire Systems

On-site suppression systems installed in workshops, fuel farms, or control rooms often use MSHA-compliant flexible hoses for agent delivery.


🌬️ 4. Air and Water Transfer

Air-operated equipment in confined areas benefits from MSHA-rated air hoses, which are safer to operate in case of a fire.


🧱 5. Conveyor Systems

Hose assemblies that support lubricants or control systems on conveyor lines need to be both durable and flame-resistant—perfect use case for MSHA hose.
