RFC POLY Portex
Description
The RFC POLY Portex is just as compact as a conventional fire extinguisher or hand-pump extinguisher, but exceeds their extinguishing performance many times over. The portable CAFS fire extinguisher is fully suitable for operation while wearing gloves and can be easily and quickly carried to a source of fire by one or
two people thanks to the ergonomically optimized handles.
Benefits
Energy-independent extinguishing system
▪ immediately ready for use upon opening the compressed air cylinder valve and activating the jet pipe
▪ extremely maintenance-friendly and reliable due to the absence of electrical systems and mechanical drives
▪ no noise or exhaust emissions during operation
First-class extinguishing performance
▪ excellent extinguishing effect through maximum cooling, effective displacement of oxygen, and thorough penetration of the burning object
▪ high degree of protection against burn-back due to interruption of the oxygen supply and continuous cooling
▪ preventive protection against flying sparks and heat for property endangered by fire
Excellent throw range
▪ large safety distance from the source of fire
▪ makes the fighting of fires in inaccessible places and at heights easier
Visible extinguishing success
▪ white compressed air foam with strong adherence properties is visible to the jet pipe operator
▪ the evaporation of compressed air foam acts as an indicator of surfaces that are still too hot
Rapid refilling
▪ easy filling of the extinguishing agent tank by means of a garden hose and the separate foam concentrate cartridge with a filling funnel via external quick release couplings
▪ uncomplicated measurement of foam concentrate quantities using a separate measuring cup with an individualized scale that corresponds to the amount of water
Different foam qualities
▪ use of conventional 0,5 %, 1 % or 3 % Class A and Class B foam concentrates and also fluorine-free foam concentrates
▪ wet and dry compressed air foam

1. complete and operative fire extinguisher
2. expansion ratio depends on foam concentrate used
3. throw range and throw height are almost identical for wet and dry compressed air foam
4. fire tests were performed with these foam concentrates (use of other foam concentrates is possible)
