Extinguishers

A comprehensive range of Fire Extinguishers approved to BS EN 3, incorporating a colour coded headcap for quick identification of the extinguisher's contents. This ensures that the correct extinguishant is used on the fire, promoting further safety for the user. Macron Fireater Fire Extinguishers are available in a wide variety of sizes to suit each individual fire risk.


Water
The most commonly used extinguishant for Class A fires involving carbonaceous materials such as wood, paper and textiles. Water extinguishers cool the fire, removing the heat needed to sustain burning and preventing glowing embers from re-igniting.

Features:


Foam
Triclass, Jetspray & Aspirated Triclass fire extinguishers, with an AFFF additive, have the effect of improving a water based extinguisher, enabling it to fight Class A and B fires, by cooling the burning embers of carbonaceous materials and sealing liquid fires.
Jetspray foam extinguishers are the ultimate alternative to Halon 1211, which has now been withdrawn, with no CFC's it's 100% ozone friendly.
Aspirated foam has a smothering effect, depriving fire of oxygen and is especially effective on Class B (flammable liquid) fires but can also be used on Class A (carbonaceous) fires.

Features:


ABC & Standard BC power
Multi-class ABC power is a truely versatile extinguishant which can be used on Class A (carbonaceous), Class B (flammable liquid) and Class C (flammable gas) fires.
Standard BC powder extinguishers, as their name would suggest, can be used to extinguish Class B (flammable liquid) fires. There is no requirement under BS EN 3 for Class C (flammable gas) but Standard BC is effective for these fires as well.

Features:

Balance valve for BS EN 3 Fitted to all POWER cartridge operated extinguishers, this world patented feature is designed to give ultimate fluidization to compacted powder, achieving discharge second to none.
Single action operation, with maximum fire fighting capability.


Carbon dioxide Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is used on Class B (flammable liquid) fires and is safe to use on live electrical fires. It offers cleanliness of action not available from other extinguishants which makes it ideal for use in food industry environments.

Features:



Wheeled extinguishers
A wide range of mobile wheeled extinguishers are available in a variety of sizes containing AFFF Foam, ABC Powder, Standard BC Powder and Carbon Dioxide.

Features:


Colour coded headcap
Macron extinguishers offer a unique design which is approved to the new regulations. BS EN 3 stipulates that bodies of all portable extinguishers, irrespective of extinguishing agent, must be coloured red.
However, Macron have continued to used the familiar colour coding system currently used around the world to distinguish the extinguishing agent. Following extensive research a new colour coded headcap was introduced and has been accepted and welcomed throughout the industry for its advantages of visual identification in case of an emergency. The colour coding not only remains clear and prominent, but can still be recognised by viewing the extinguisher from any angle.

Foam equipment & concentrate



MF 140 Mobile foam unit
The Macron MF 140 Mobile Foam Unit has been designed for rapid one-man deployment and is ideal for the protection of oil storage and loading terminals, paints or solvents stores, boiler rooms, ship's engine rooms and all similar high-risk areas.

Features:


Combination foam branchpipe
The LMX range of foam branchpipes have been designed to produce large quantities of medium expansion foam in situations requiring rapid foam cover with low water usage or long coherent throws of low expansion foam - all from the same branchpipe. Fully compatible with Macron Variable Inline Foam Inductors, they are available with an optional on/off ball valve on all models.

Features:


Challenger dual flow branchpipe
The Challenger Dual Flow Branchpipe has been specifically developed to meet the needs of new generation rapid intervention fire fighting vehicles.
