Fire-extinguishing system

Milliseconds can make a difference.

Each extinguishing agent container is provided with a rapid blow-off valve, which in case of need is opened particularly quickly. The very high outlet cross-section guarantees the container being discharged in less than 100 milliseconds. A nozzle at the lower end of the valve ensures an even distribution. The extinguishing agent is completely harmless to humans.

Ready at all times.

Being available at any time all fire extinguishers are equipped with a pressure switch to monitor the internal pressure. This pressure switch alarms the control unit automatically in case of a pressure loss. The fire extinguishers are fixed installed and use special steel containers. The flap valve is opened by a pyrotechnic device, which is triggered by the control unit within milliseconds.
