Foam Fire Extinguishers are useful for Class A & Class B fires involving flammable liquids such as Paints, Solvents and fats like Grease and Oils.
Product Overview
Most Foam extinguishers have a very complex activation mechanism. They require the user to cut a metal seal with pliers, shake the extinguisher vigorously, turn it upside down and bang it on the floor to activate it. All this in the midst of a fire
Foam extinguishers, on the other hand, use the squeeze grip mechanism, making them faster and easier to use. The proprietary stored pressure technology also delivers high power throw, making these extinguishers extremely effective.
The quickest way to kill a fire is to not let it feed off the oxygen in the vicinity. Alternate Range of Foam based extinguishers use a chemical foam that blankets the flames and cuts off the oxygen supply. While they are effective against Class A and B fires, they are ideal for use on burning liquids like oil and petrol.

Advanced Mechanical Foam TechnologyUtilizing Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) solution, this fire extinguisher offers exceptional control over flammable liquids and solid combustibles. The mechanical foam forms a secure blanket over the fuel surface, swiftly preventing re-ignition and promoting effective cooling. This technology is certified and trusted for dependable firefighting performance in urgent scenarios.
Robust and Reliable ConstructionBuilt with high-quality mild steel and an epoxy polyester powder coating, the cylinder resists corrosion even in challenging environments. The flexible hose and jet/spray nozzle ensure precise targeting of the foam, while wall-mounting and a hand lever design provide both safety and convenience. Its IS:15683 and CE certifications guarantee adherence to international standards.
Easy Operation and MaintenanceThe extinguisher features an upright operating method with an intuitive pull-pin and squeeze valve system-enabling quick response during emergencies. It is refillable, allowing for economic long-term use. A full unit weighs around 13-15 kg and should be routinely checked for pressure and function according to manufacturer's guidelines.
FAQ's of Mechanical Foam Fire Extinguisher:
Q: How do I operate the Mechanical Foam Fire Extinguisher during an emergency?
A: To use the extinguisher, first pull the safety pin, then aim the flexible jet/spray nozzle at the base of the fire while holding the cylinder upright. Squeeze the hand lever to release the AFFF foam. Sweep the nozzle from side to side across the flames until the fire is extinguished. Always maintain the extinguisher in its wall-mounted position for immediate accessibility.
Q: What types of fires is this extinguisher suitable for?
A: This mechanical foam extinguisher is ideal for extinguishing Class A (solid combustibles like paper, cloth, wood) and Class B (flammable liquid) fires. However, it is not suitable for electrical fires and should not be used in such scenarios due to its aqueous foam solution.
Q: When should the fire extinguisher be refilled or serviced?
A: The extinguisher should be inspected regularly as per ISI and manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 6-12 months. Refill the unit immediately after each use, even if only partially discharged. Routine maintenance helps ensure reliable performance whenever needed.
Q: Where can this fire extinguisher be installed and used?
A: This extinguisher is designed for wall mounting in industrial, commercial, and institutional premises. Installations should be in clearly accessible locations, away from extreme heat or direct sunlight, and within easy reach in high-risk fire zones such as workshops, factories, and fuel storage areas.
Q: What is the process for refilling the extinguisher?
A: Refilling should be conducted by authorized service personnel or certified technicians. The unit must be depressurized, opened, cleaned, and refilled with the recommended concentration of AFFF solution and propellant (nitrogen or compressed air), then re-pressurized to the specified 12-15 bar service pressure. Always adhere to safety protocols during servicing.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this ISI-marked and CE-certified fire extinguisher?
A: Key advantages include reliable performance, ease of operation, corrosion resistance, and compliance with IS:15683 and CE standards. Its stored-pressure design enables rapid deployment, while refillability ensures cost-effective, long-term fire protection. The robust mild steel construction and epoxy coating enhance durability for all settings.
