Key Features:
- Dry Chemical System Features
- Total-flooding, especially in well enclosed areas
- Unparalleled fire knockdown speed
- Spring loaded hinges keep nozzles clear of debris with minimal maintenance
- Manual and automatic system discharge
- Small footprint
- Class A, B and C fire protection
- Available in 20, 30, 60, 125 lb. sizes
- Suitable for temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C)

AFEX Liquid Chemical Fire Suppression System: offers exceptional cooling abilities to prevent fire reignition and is designed to protect against Class A (debris) and Class B (fuel) fires in mobile equipment. The SAFE-X* liquid agent cools hot surfaces quickly and penetrates debris, making it ideal for high-risk components like turbochargers, exhaust parts, and Tier 4 aftertreatment systems. SAFE-X is a fluorine-free agent, certified by AS 5062:2022.
Key Features:
- Effective at cooling hot surfaces in open areas
- Fight against fire reignition
- Penetrates debris and suppresses pooled fuel fires
- Manual and automatic system discharge
- Class A and B fire protection
