Foam fire extinguishing system

During a fire, foam extinguishing systems distribute large-scale foam blankets via foam monitors, sprinklers or nozzles. The foam is applied to the burning material, extinguishes the fire and serves as a deterrent against reignition. Foam extinguishing systems are suitable for protecting high-risk areas, e.g. due to flammable liquids or plastics. The adjustable low to extremely high foaming option offers an optimum extinguishing effect for every type of risk. Flexible components for our foam extinguishing systems With a versatile foaming agent range, Minimax offers safe and flexible application. Perfectly aligned components are supplied in line with the individual needs of clients and according to respective fire protection requirements. Design To generate foam, a proportionally constant quantity of foaming agent is added to the water flow using a mixing device. The water/foaming agent mix created is frothed up with air in downstream foam generators and then applied on the burning object using the dispersion method best suited to the risk type. Applications for foam extinguishing systems Storage facilities, incineration plants, refineries or plastics/tyre depots have one thing in common: they pose a special risk. When flammable liquids or plastics catch fire, the fire spreads very quickly and toxic combustion gases are emitted. This results in damages that cost millions as well as environmental pollution. Foam extinguishing systems are the most effective fire protection for this risk area, particularly in the fire categories A and B.
