Mechanical Foam Cartridge Type

The Mechanical Foam Cartridge Type fire extinguisher by Krunal Engineering Works is a specialized safety solution designed for heavy-duty industrial and commercial environments. Built with a robust mild steel body and manufactured in strict accordance with IS 15683 standards, this unit is engineered to provide reliable fire suppression where flammable liquid risks are high. Its unique cartridge-based design ensures that the propellant gas remains securely sealed until the moment of activation, offering enhanced durability compared to standard stored pressure models. This extinguisher is highly effective at managing Class B fires, which involve flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, paints, and solvents. Upon discharge, it releases a high-expansion mechanical foam that creates a thick, floating blanket over the burning surface. This "smothering" action rapidly cuts off the oxygen supply and prevents the release of flammable vapors, which not only knocks down the flames quickly but also prevents the fire from re-igniting—a critical factor in fuel-related emergencies.

In addition to liquid fires, the Mechanical Foam Cartridge Type is an excellent tool for suppressing Class A fires involving solid organic materials like wood, paper, textiles, and plastics. The water-based foam provides a cooling effect that penetrates deep into the material, lowering the temperature and ensuring the fire is fully extinguished. This dual-capability makes it a versatile safety asset for mechanical workshops, oil refineries, chemical storage areas, and fuel filling stations. Designed with the user in mind, Krunal Engineering Works ensures these units are easy to maintain and operate even in harsh conditions. Since the pressure is not stored in the main tank, there is no risk of gradual leaks, making it a favorite for remote industrial sites. These extinguishers feature a high-pressure discharge hose and a precision nozzle that allows operators to maintain a safe 3-meter distance while achieving a minimum 85% discharge efficiency.

Frequently asked questions.

n a Cartridge Type unit, the pressure is not stored in the main tank but in a small internal CO2/Nitrogen cartridge. When you squeeze the lever, a plunger pierces the cartridge, pressurizing the foam for immediate discharge. This makes it easier to maintain in harsh environments where gauges might get damaged.

Cartridge-type extinguishers are generally more durable and easier to refill on-site by replacing the foam charge and the gas cartridge. This makes them highly practical for remote industrial sites or factories with their own safety teams.

The Cartridge Type is highly durable because it does not maintain constant internal pressure. The propellant gas is safely sealed in a separate internal canister, which prevents the risk of accidental discharge or pressure loss due to valve leaks or extreme temperature changes common in factories.

The mechanical foam forms a physical barrier that separates the fuel from the air. By cutting off the oxygen supply and suppressing flammable vapors, it ensures that even if the liquid fuel is still hot, it cannot catch fire again.
