Integrated Fire Technology (IFT) focuses on holistic fire protection for mining operations, emphasizing miner safety and compliance with regulations. IFT's Fogmaker system utilizes high-pressure water mist to suppress fires in mobile machinery, ensuring rapid fire control and cooling to prevent reignition.

The AF-X FIREBLOCKER, an aerosol-based extinguishing system, offers a clean alternative to traditional methods and is certified for lithium-ion battery suppression, making it suitable for battery storage. IFT’s approach includes a Fire Risk Assessment and system design for regulatory compliance, supported by premium products with global certifications. IFT will showcase its solutions at the Africa Mining Indaba in February 2026, Electra Mining Africa in September 2026, and Mining and Technical Exhibitions in Solwezi and Kitwe in October 2026.
