    Foam extinguishing systems are effective at extinguishing liquid fuel and plastic fires using a mixture of water, foam concentrate, and air. The foam is lighter than combustible materials and acts to cool, suppress, separate, cover, insulate, and displace the fire to prevent reignition. Minimax offers a range of flexible foam extinguishing components like foam sprinklers, nozzles, monitors, and generators tailored to different risks and fire protection needs. When activated, the system mixes foam concentrate into water to create foam that is then dispersed over the fire area using the appropriate method.

    FOAM EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS

    Foam sprinklers and nozzles

    Minimax specialises in stainless steel nozzles for low


    expansion foam extinguishing systems. As an exclusive
    manufacturer, Minimax supplies sprinklers for the
    production of low expansion foam. Sprinklers are
    generally used in storage areas. Nozzles are best suited
    for the protection of filling stations and filling tank
    vehicles or for protecting objects, as with hydraulic
    units or as indoor protection in drum stores.

    Foam maker/ foam chamber / foam pourer

    These three co-ordinated components comprise


    the specially designed "TankFoam RTK" kit for
    protecting flammable liquids in fixed roof tanks.
    It is used to generate low expansion foam, for
    which all common foaming agent concentrates
    can be used.

    Foam monitor

    The foam monitor is for external use, to fight


    fires from a safe distance and to preventatively
    cool objects at risk of catching fire.
    Depending on the version the monitor can be
    aligned with the target manually, electrically or
    hydraulically by remote control.

    High expansion foam generator

    Generators produce high expansion foam, which


    is used to protect storage areas. Foam floods
    the entire room and deprives the fire of oxygen
    by displacing air somewhat like a carbon dioxide
    extinguishing systems.

    DirectAlarm foam

    These components make alarm testing easy.


    Weekly tests are carried out with water from
    the pump distributor before the proportioner.
    A foam/water mix does not have to be discharged
    and disposed of.

    Foaming agent concentrate

    The foaming agent range includes a large number


    of protein and synthetic foaming agents. Foaming
    agents are available for all solid, liquid and alcohol/
    solvent fires.
    FUNCTION simply effective

    To generate foam, a proportionally constant air in successive foam generators and then
    quantity of foaming agent is added to the applied to the burning object using the
    water flow using a mixing device. The water/ dispersion method best suited to the risk type.
