If it has not already been mentioned, Per NFPA 13, we cover sprinklers with cellophane bags to protect against accumulation of foreign materials in places like spray booths or extremely dusty/dirty areas.

Sprinkler protection is proposed to protect the building and wanted to ask the question about “excessive loading of sprinklers” and what the best option would be to minimise this I am aware that NFPA 25 mentions this, our code in Australia does not mention this term but states that yearly the sprinklers must be visually checked and suggest that a more stringent maintenance routine be in place for these environments. The product bulk stored is phosphate rock typically and is used for the fertiliser manufacturing plant across the road. Any suggestions to the above query would be much appreciated.
