Maximum Portable Power: The 5 kg Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher

In environments where fire risk is high—such as large home workshops, small factories, or heavy transport vehicles—the 5 kg Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher provides the essential volume and duration needed for effective suppression. This portable high-capacity extinguisher bridges the gap between smaller domestic units and large wheeled trolley models. It offers exceptional performance while remaining fully portable and easy to manage, even in emergency situations in Lusaka, Kitwe, and the Copperbelt, Zambia.

The 5 kg unit is charged with multi-purpose $\text{ABC}$ dry chemical powder (Mono-Ammonium Phosphate). This agent is extremely versatile, capable of tackling solid combustible fires (Class A), flammable liquids and gases (Class B and C), and live electrical equipment up to $1,000 \text{ V}$. This makes it the most effective workshop fire safety equipment choice. The sheer quantity of agent ensures a long, powerful discharge typically lasting 15 to 20 seconds, with an effective jet range of 3 to 5 metres. This sustained application is critical to completely blanket and suppress larger, more volatile blazes common in industrial settings.

  • Powerful Capacity: Contains 5 kg of $\text{ABC}$ powder. This provides enhanced fire ratings (e.g., $27\text{A } 144\text{B}$) far exceeding smaller extinguishers.

  • Extended Discharge: A long discharge time (15–20 seconds) is crucial for ensuring sustained suppression of serious fires.

  • Versatile Suitability: An excellent choice for businesses, warehouses, garages, and large commercial vehicles and trucks.

  • Durable Construction: Built with a high-quality steel cylinder and corrosion-resistant finish. This is essential for longevity in Zambian industrial environments.

  • Mandated Safety: Often meets the minimum requirement for heavy vehicle fire unit standards and certain commercial premises in line with international fire safety standards.
