They are equipped with a mechanical pressure safety valve and each unit is internally lined with an epoxy finish. Compressed air foam units are stored pressure and self contained consisting of a carbon steel agent task assembly.

We have developed fluorine free foam pressure fire safety systems ready for today s business and manufacturing challenges. They are engineered to meet and exceed the most stringent industry standards. Typical components include a water source a centrifugal pump foam concentrate tanks a direct injection foam proportioning system on the discharge side of the pump a mixing chamber or device a rotary air compressor and control. A table on the foam control panel makes setting the proportioner for 1 3 and 6 foam easy and accurate.
