Mechanical foam type extinguisher consists of a plastic bag filled with foam concentrate fitted below a carbon dioxide (now nitrogen) gas cartridge. The remaining area is filled with water.
In case of fire, hold the hose in the direction of fire, remove the safety guard and press the plunger.
The plunger pierces the cartridge and the carbon dioxide gas (now nitrogen) ruptures the foam bag allowing the foam concentrate to mix with water.
Carbon dioxide (now nitrogen) gas under pressure expels the foam solution out of the branch pipe through the dip tube.
Air enters into the pipe through air intake and generates good quality air foam solution which helps to smother the fire.
This type of extinguisher is used to fight class A and class B fires.
Class A Fire : Wood, Textiles, Paper, Clothes, cotton Mill, Jute Mill etc
Caution :Do Not Use On Electrical & Oil Fire
