OFB CAFS Ideal for use in environmentally sensitive areas as there are no petrol/diesel driven pumps to cause hydrocarbon spills or contamination. Reduced water usage and run-off result from this environmentally friendly and efficient system. Water damage is also minimised resulting in a quicker and less costly mop-up. Australian made and engineered to the highest quality, OFB CAFS 150 and 500 litre are completely self contained. There are no pumps, motor or electrical connections required... just add foam concentrate, water and air to prepare your fire fighting vehicle. Being free from moving parts makes for a virtually maintenance free system. CAFS are rapid and readily refillable by the user and do not require a servicing authority for costly on site visits. Pyrocool Foams are independent of water quality and can be used effectively with salt, fresh or brackish water against Class A, B and D fires. The OFB CAFS produces thick adhesive foams at expansion rates up to 20 times the quantity of water and can shoot up to 29 meters.

| Compressed Air Foam Systems have been demonstrated as the most effective means of generating a high-energy foam product with superior knockdown propulsion and protective capabilities. Using less foam concentrate than nozzle-aspirated systems, CAFS can extinguish fires up to 10 times faster than plain water, and continue to smother the fuel well after the flame has gone. |
