8 kg Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher

Unmatched Portable Power: The 8 kg Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher

The 8 kg Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher is engineered for environments where fire loads are significant and compliance with industrial fire safety requirements is critical. For warehouses, manufacturing facilities, fuel depots, and public buildings across Lusaka, Kitwe, and the Copperbelt, this unit offers a substantial step up in protection from smaller 6 kg models. This robust industrial fire unit is designed to be the primary portable defense against major fire incidents before specialized fire teams arrive.

Equipped with $8\text{ kg}$ of high-grade $\text{ABC}$ dry chemical powder (Mono-Ammonium Phosphate), this extinguisher is capable of tackling the broadest range of fire types: deep-seated solid materials (Class A), flammable liquids and gases (Class B and C), and live electrical equipment (up to $1,000\text{ V}$). The sheer capacity translates directly into increased fire-fighting time and safety. The average discharge time is a powerful $15$ to $18$ seconds, and the effective jet range is $\ge 4.5\text{ metres}$ (often up to $6\text{ m}$). This distance allows the user to operate safely away from the radiant heat of a large blaze. The extinguisher’s high industrial fire rating (e.g., $4\text{A }183\text{B }\text{C}$) confirms its superior effectiveness against complex, large-scale hazards.

• Maximum Coverage Extinguisher: $8\text{ kg}$ capacity provides comprehensive, powerful fire suppression suitable for large factory safety equipment.

• Extended Discharge: The long $15+\text{ second}$ discharge time ensures complete blanket coverage and prevents flash re-ignition.

• Versatile Defense: A single unit for multi-risk environments, handling the entire spectrum of $\text{A},\text{B},\text{C}$, and Electrical fires.

• Industrial Standard: Features a strong steel cylinder, anti-corrosion coating, and a gross weight of approximately $10.4\text{ kg}$ to $13.6\text{ kg}$ when fully charged, confirming its heavy-duty status.

• Optimal Placement: Ideal for mounting near main electrical panels, fuel storage, welding bays, and large inventory aisles in a warehouse.

Don’t under-spec your defense. Choose the 8 kg standard.
