Dry Powder & CO2 Fire Extinguishers

Portable fire extinguishers are the first line of defence against fire, allowing trained personnel to suppress a fire in its earliest stage before it spreads. Hamoon supplies extinguishers from reputable manufacturers in the two most widely used types. ABC dry powder extinguishers are effective on Class A solid materials, Class B flammable liquids and Class C gases, and are a versatile choice for most industrial areas. CO2 extinguishers leave no residue and are non-conductive, making them ideal for electrical panels, control rooms and sensitive equipment.

Extinguishers are available from 1 to 12 kg for portable units and from 25 to 50 kg (and above) for wheeled units, in stored-pressure or cartridge-operated designs. Each unit is fitted with a pressure gauge (on stored-pressure powder models), a safety pin and a tamper seal, and is supplied with a wall bracket and instruction label. Products are manufactured and tested to EN 3 or UL standards, and regular inspection and hydrostatic testing are essential for reliability.

Typical applications

• Production halls, workshops and warehouses
