The IFEX ® Impulse firefighting gun is the core of the Impulse firefighting technology.
Product details
The fire-extinguisher of rust-proof steel is made up of the rear pressure chamber, a quick fastener valve, a front chamber for water or extinguishing agent and a gun clutch with release mechanism. If the valve is opened, the compressed air pushes the extinguishing agent at high speed from the water chamber in milliseconds. The extinguishing agent is accelerated to more than 400 km/h and penetrates with high energy directly into the source of the fire because of the fire thermionics.
