Foam Maker / Foam Pourer ( ATCH2 ) are commonly used for extinguishing Class B fires in high-risk areas such as flammable liquid warehouses, aircraft hangars, fuel storage tanks, paint halls, and more.
The type of firefighting foam selected depends on the nature of the flammable materials. These systems can be manual (monitors, mobile foam units, turbo mixes, nozzles, etc.) or automatic (sprinkler networks, foam chambers, etc.) All sprinkler systems used in water-based systems (wet, dry, deluge, and pre-action) can be transformed into foam-water systems by integrating foam tanks and related equipment. The firefighting foam used in foam-water suppression systems is created by mixing water with foam concentrate at a defined ratio. When air is introduced into the mixture, it becomes a high-volume, bubbly structure that can float over flammable surfaces, block oxygen, and suppress vapor emissions, making it highly effective in fire suppression.
